in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys. I am in my mid 50's needing to lose a few pounds and get WAY more active than setting at a desk all day or parked on the sofa watching tv.
Anyone willing to be friends......let me know!

    50 here..with about 15 pounds to lose. A few years ago, I managed to lose almost 30, got complacent, and it started to creep back on. Have to get back into my old habits, not going to be easy

    I'm in my 50's and need to loose 20. Would love the support from someone my age as you know how different and challenging it is to loose at this time in our life

    I am 46 and need to lose closer to 50 lbs, but that scares me! So I am starting with a smaller goal of 15! I also work at a desk all day and have a hard time forcing myself to be active . . .

    Is there somebody you work with that you could walk with during lunch? Sometimes just having somebody holding you accountable helps

    Unfortunately I work in a one person office most days. But, I have a recumbent bike that I loaded up out of storage and brought up here to try to get me moving.

    Took a chance and jumped on the scale at the gym today. Was afraid it might be too soon and mess with my motivation. But, was pleasantly surprised to find that I've lost 4 pounds in the past 16 days! I know that will never be normal, but it's enough to keep me going to the gym when wind chills are around zero
