Hello!
Well, tomorrow is the big day and the start of a New Year where we are all going to do fantastic things!
I live in Michigan and I'm in my late 50s. Have two grown children and several grandchildren.
I've had trouble with my weight most of my life. Mainly due to a bit of genetics, lack of exercise and a truly terrible sweet tooth. I'm a snacker of many things....
Candy, chips and peanuts/nuts. I really must learn to pace myself with such things
However, I have managed to lose weight on a couple of occasions in my life. I've just really got to make a life change though and eat more healthy most of the time to keep it off.
I don't plan on tracking my food too much since I find that tends to be difficult for me. I work two jobs 5 days per week and find tracking time consuming.
My plan is to keep it to 1200 calories each day in the beginning, drink more water, and move a bit more.
And to find my much need support here with those of you here in our group:)

Hi, I am female age 45 and have been On MFP for about 3 years. I lose and gain and last year lost 7.7kg which I am pleased about. I now have to lose 10.2 kg to get to my goal of 70kg I am 5"8 tall.
To lose the weight I have been doing 5;2 and also intermittent fasting. I also try to reduce my carb intake to max of 100-150g per day. It's been good so far I also have the occasional slips and hunger days which are part of life.
I am starting again after the festive season. So good luck to everyone and we can do this0 -
Thank you Foomsy for introducing yourself:) I walked today which gave me a bit of a boost in my confidence. Hope to be able to post a weight loss soon. You're right, we can do this!0
