Hi, I'm Lezlee. I'm in my 50's and the only babies around me are Grandbabies or fur-babies. I work from home 4 days a week, have a 2 hour commute to the office on the 5th day then work retail on the weekends. I used to think the 20 hours of on my feet with movement would keep me in shape but the weight snuck on. 5 years ago I hit 200 lbs, got down to 124 & back up to 150. My ultimate goal is around 120.

Hey there my name is Julie and I would love to join in! I just turned 40 and have struggled with my weight and body perception most my life. I want to be happy and healthy no matter my weight, but know 30 pounds less would help me feel so much better. I also want to set healthy examples to those around me. Being more consistent and active are the things I need to work on. I could use all the support I can get.

Hi folks, I just joined too. This sounds like a doable goal.

My name is Kenny. I am 41 and disabled so I don't have the desk job holding me back. I have battled my weight most all the time I have been disabled. My meds cause weight gain. Some worse than others. Lately I have been 220-230 but have been as high as 270. Yesterday I got on the scale I had gained 10 pounds to 230. So here I am looking for anything and everything to get me going and keep me going. 200 here I come!

I too am a little late to the party. It looks like this is a pretty diverse group with the same goal in mind. A little about me: I am a 58 year old grandma. I work 5 days a week on my feet but have a tendency to set on my keester in front of the computer after work and snack on all the wrong things. I've lost about 10 pounds over the last year thanks to the new diabetic med my doctor put me on. I've actually felt good enough to float the river with the grands a couple of times this Summer. It was such an eye opener to hear the oohhh and ahhhhh because they couldn't remember me EVER going. How sad is that. I want to make memories with them. I don't want all their memories to center around me sitting in a chair in front of the computer. I want to make memories with and for them. 30 pounds would put me at a good weight.......lets do this.

I started with this this group but went awol! I'm back on track doing low carb while focusing on eating vegetables and am down 10lbs! 1st goal is to get below 200, currently 227.8, ultimately want to get to 165-170.
