    I'm in - I need to get back into this year. The last 18 months have been terrible for me - I couldn't get motivated - so New Year - new motivation (now that I've made it past Christmas!)

    Hi everyone! I am 65 and have been battling to get 25 lbs off for the last 3 years. It is time to get serious about it once and for all. I hope we can motivate each other with little challenges each week and build on those. Suggestions: no late night eating, at least 30 minutes of exercise daily, track food, water etc. Thoughts?

    The late night eating is the only questionable one. It doesn't really matter when you eat but personally I have found more success shutting off when I eat at an earlier time and just drinking water after that. The biggest battle is getting serious about it, finding the right calorie goal, and staying under it. 30 minutes of daily exercise is good for you in general to keep you going well past 65.

    I'm in. Travel a lot for work, work long hours and have gained because of it. I am trying to get control of it now that it's my down-time. I've lost 14 since mid-Nov. and have a considerable amount to go. Good luck everyone.

    I'm in! I just turned 40, two weeks ago. I need to lose 50kg (110lb). I am a self-employed single mum to two kids, and find it hard to find time to exercise. Plus, I stress eat a lot!
