in Introduce Yourself
I just logged into my MyFitnessPal account and saw that I am back to my original weight from 2014 after losing almost 40 lbs. I am thoroughly upset with myself. I have my daughter's wedding coming up in early June 2016 - only 2 months away and I hate the way I look in the dress I bought.

I am charging up my Fitbit and uploaded the apps for MyFitnessPall and Fitbit to my phone. Here we go again.

I unfortunately decided to start this again after breakfast. My breakfast was a New York size bagel, butter/olive oil, Chai latte and some jelly beans. I hope I can do better as the day/week/months go by.

Determined yet again,
Terri

    This? Calorie counting? Steering people to helpful threads? Using MFP?

    All of it. I can see that you posts 9848 times so I can see you are a great resource. Any motivational advice for a 55+yo?

    Thanks everyone. I know that being over 55 brings other challenges with weight loss and I took your recommendation queenliz99 to join that group. Life is great except for the weight issues. My health is fairly good, some knee pain but blood pressure and A1c are in check but I am feeling the effects of carrying on the extra weight in my knees, breathing and apnea.

    I am back again too. I am almost to 190 and I don't want the scale to tip over to this number. Please feel free to add me. I need to lose 50+ pounds. Starting today on the right foot. About to take my first walk in months. I need all the help and encouragement I can get.

    Welcome back MaGaZgz. This was day 2 for me. It was really rough mid afternoon to dinner but I held out.
