    I started with walking its a great place to start if you dont like working out. I can deal with sore legs lol. first I did my pace then started push to had an ad2 half mile till I got to 3 miles. I've lost 25 lbs doing this I can burn 500 to 700. In a walk depending on how fast my pace is or if Ive added some dance moves lol.

    45 with 90lbs to lose just to at the low side of my BMI range. My daughter graduates next year and would love to have 2/3rds of the weight gone. Go to the gym 3x's week and doing more in the yard to keep me going. After she is gone it will be empty nester for me. Always put my kids and ex before me and now it's time for me. My kiddos are both so supportive and are great encouragers. I never tell anyone if I am excercising or dieting because then it comes with the hundreds of unwanted questions. Doing his for me so that I feel better about myself and future

    After gum surgery when I wasn't logging I can feel myself backsliding. Got back into logging today. Was a little over my calorie goal but I limited myself to eating too much savory rather than sweet which is easier to control. Yesterday I had a sandwich for lunch which I don't usually and I craved carbs the rest of the day. Best to just stay away. The nicer weather is making exercise easier at least. Keep up the good work everyone

    Count me in! I'm tired of being a yo yo. Have had success and failures along the way. I am a work in progress and am refusing to give up.

    Not sure if you were geared towards only the ladies but I just turned 40 and most recently had a not so good doctors visit so I need to get going!

    Hi! I'm 43 yrs old, and I have about 65 lbs to lose. I go through spurts where I am highly motivated and successful, and then I will be busy and "fall off the wagon." My current motivation is a family vacation to Hawaii this July.

    I was hoping to find others in he same situation. I'm looking forward to getting healthier with all of you

    had 3 biscuits I shouldn't have had today. Got out the packet to make sure I logged them, and had a fourth. Oh well tomorrow is another day!

    I'm 46 and have been up and down with my weight since 2005. Lowest was 152, everywhere in between, highest was 258. I've recently lost 23 pounds through walking and watching my diet. Recently, I've found it a tad bit harder to stay motivated. I've suffered the loss of my brother, moved, staying with my aging parents to help care for them and started a new job 2 weeks ago after having the same employer for almost 20 years.

    I'm looking for friends to help motivate and keep me on track! Add me!

    I just saw a pic of myself taken yesterday and cried for an hour. I can't believe what I've let myself become.

    I can so relate to that. At least you logged them! Every day is a chance to start fresh.

    I am 42 and need to lose 40+++ pounds. I could use some motivation. I feel like I stay the same weight whether I eat healthy or not....whether I exercise or not. I need to stick with it for the long haul.

    Just found this thread. My story is very similar to many others. I am 40, almost 41, married for 23 years. I have a 13 years old and a 21 year old. I started this journey (this time around) at 214.9 pounds, currently at 198.9. So happy to finally be in ONEderland. But I have probably 45-50 pounds to go. I have already dropped from a solid size 18 into a 14 (that is loose). Have the size 12 jeans hanging on the wall in the bedroom so I can see them when I work out. Just a bit of extra motivation. I could use all the friends and butt kickers I can get. I really need Jillian Michaels to come scream at me some days.
