in Motivation and Support
I'm 45 and have been overweight my adult life. I have had some success bring my chol numbers down, but now the doc says I have to get real. And really fast. Little faith in my ability to do so since I have said I would so many times before. I could use support. I'd like to lose the first 30 by the end of the semester ( I teach college). Anybody?

    Add me! I've been here before too and did I it! Lost over 30 lbs and kept it off for a few years. Slowly crept back on over the last year and now I'm back where I started. So I'm back here again and I will get this weight off. I'm a teacher too, high school, and would love to drop 30 by the end of the school year!

    Been there before as well. I have decided that I need to make life long changes of good eating and stay moving. I have fibromyalgia so the moving part is pretty hard but I am pushing myself a little at a time and it's working. I won't be running a marathon any time soon but I will be able to play with my grand kids. Log in everyday and track your progress and food. It helps so much to know where your extra calories are coming from.

    I have to go to Norway in June, so I need to have myself in a steady grove before that!

    I'm 48. I lost 25 pounds using MFP in 2014 and was highly motivated and well on my way towards my 45 lb goal, then had a very depressing year of caring for an elderly family member through their decline and eventual death. The diet went out the window during that time. I regained 17 pounds, but now I'm back. I started logging on MFP again and I'm down 8 pounds since December 1!

    This time I'm following the 5:2 diet, which is supposed to help with bloodwork numbers. I'm almost due for my first blood test since starting the diet, and I'm very interested to see whether is true or not.

    Also a teacher, 30lb by end of the year sounds like a great goal! Count me in :)

    That's okay. Most of us have been here before. Feel free to add me. And of course you can do this! Just one day at a time instead of worrying about the bigger picture at this point.
