    I'm in! Started a 25 by Christmas back in August. Lost about 22 pounds before the Holiday binges took me away. Now I've committed to 10 pounds by Spring Break with several other teachers. Back on the road to my goal of 77 pounds! :)

    I am in! I am 42 years old. If I am being honest, I have about 70lbs to lose. I have gained about 50lbs, over the last 5 years. I am finally ready to do this. I am ready to feel like myself again and be healthy.

    47 this year and have 3 15 pound goals. I can't imagine being less than that, but who knows? That would put me at about 170 pounds. Count me in.

    You have all taken the first step by committing! Now we can tackle the mindset of making this time life changing. We've all tried and failed at some point, but this time we can mean it with not just our minds but our hearts. We are worth it and so are our love ones to have us around for years to come. Stay true to yourself and let's get busy and drop this weight!

    I decided to eat more fruits and veggies and less refined carbs yesterday and was under my calorie goal for the first time in a week! I'm happy for my small victory.

    How's everyone doing?? Any Scale victores or NSV's to share??

    I was successful this week exercising 5 of 7 days and the scale showed a 1.6lbs loss.

    I have been doing fitnessblender workouts almost daily and/or DH and I go golfing (weather permitting). Exercise has been easy for me to fit in. My food diary this week is all over the place and maybe a bit low for yesterday as we were out for dinner and I couldn't find nutritional information for the restaurant we were at so I did my best trying to find similar foods to log.

    I'm 42 and have reached a point where living a healthier life is no longer an option it's a MUST! Would like to be added to this challenge so that I'm able to give and receive encouragement/support to my 40 and over peers!

    Well, being snowed in today is a good excuse to start exercising. Now, staying disciplined and making it part of a regular routine is what will be the true challenge. There are no secret methods or magic pills to make it happen. Its all on ME.

    Hello! Like all of you have much to lose and looking for motivation and support.
    I am 46+ and have > 50# to lose.
    My biggest NSV is cutting back on soda!
    I have found a great high protein "shake" at 160 cal, add frozen fruit and blend. About 300 cal breakfast and keeps me full. And the sweetness keeps me from craving the soda.

    Would love to know what changes are working for you!

    Having a pity party here on the bathroom scale this morning. 3 pounds down yesterday and 4 pounds up today. Totally back where I started. 20 pounds over what I was just 3 years ago and 60 more than I should be. Ugh!!!!!!!!!
