    I could have written the same introduction! Only now I'm 45, still with at least 60lbs to loose.

    Set small obtainable goals each week and month. It will be easier to track things such as in going to lose 3 pounds this week. Or 8 lbs this month. That will help you start motivated and see progress a well as prevent procrastination. Best of luck to you.

    Your description jumped right out at me - I'm 42, mom of two teens and ready to lose 30 pounds this year. For me it's the body shape more than the number that I want to tackle in 2016.

    Hello! I'm 42, married, with 66 to lose in 2016! I lost 88 in 2015, and felt like starting with a clean slate here at my new weight for the new year. Looking for friends!

    46 here, lost 90ish since February of this year using MFP and a whole lot of determination and support from friends here on the site. Still about 10-20 more lbs to go to be where I want to be, and currently stalled. But, I feel that 2016 is going to be my year to hit my ultimate goal and stay there. If you need friends feel free to add me.

    I gained weight with each of my children. Lost weight and weighed 167. I got complacent and gained back weight. I, currently, weigh 200 lbs

    I need to lose 144 lbs. But for a small goal, I need to reach 20 lbs. I'm hoping to do this before April. Hoping to do 2 lbs. a week. I'm ready for this. I need this.

    I would love to lose 65 in 2015, but have set a goal of 45 and if I exceed that all the better. I lost 55 using this in 2011 and sadly gained it back...hopefully can make a more permanent difference this time around. Lots of us are with you in this.
