I just found this group. I'll be 53 tomorrow. I started tracking on MFP a couple of weeks ago. I've used it before but it's been a long time. Years ago I hit my highest weight ever at 240 pounds. Over time I lost down to 190, then got stuck. I stayed in the 190's for a few years, then last year started gaining again. I got up to 212 and decided to do something about it. It's very slow-going, but at least I'm heading in the right direction. I was 205 this morning. My first goal is to get back to 190. Next is to get down to 175. If/When I get there I'll re-evaluate if going any lower is realistic for me. I was about 140 when I got married (29 years ago) and around 150 after our last child was born. But soon after that I started gaining, slowly, until I hit my all-time high. I have arthritis and very bad leg veins so can't do any type of impact exercise. My husband and I walk a lot, and I do water exercise. I have used Walk Away the Pounds and Wii Fit but need to get back to those. I'm working on improving my diet and have made great improvements the past few weeks. Now I just need to stick to it.1

Haven't checked in here in a while. I am finishing up week 4 of C25k today. Still haven't really gotten into a strength training groove, mostly because I kinda hate it. I'm usually only doing one strength session a week and run/walking the other 5 days. Oh well, maybe when I get a little closer to my goal weight I will put more priority into strength training.0

Good morning! I'm about to turn 42! As a gift I've decided to get my body in shape and treat it well. 15 days ago started with 183 lbs
Lost 8.6lbs since . Had my bday gather yesterday and only had Salmon and salad! Yayyy was easier than i trough cuz my closest friend is on diet too so I don't felt alone )) MFP is the greatest help I ever had to change my life style and it's paying off. I had no idea how bad my eat habit was before I tracked it down, so socking but a wake up call! I'm so thankful for this community too for giving me the motivation to go on!!!2 -
so...rest day today. probably won't even break 5,000 on fitbit today...and most of yesterdays steps didn't "count".

Well done @gam3rguy. Sweet momento! Did you have to run through fire or anything crazy like that?
After a very disappointing day yesterday- wrecked my diet and laid around like a sloth all day- I picked myself up today and decided to keep going.
