So, I've been on and off for a few year with mini losses and regains. (MFP could make so much money if they would charge to "reset" your account!). I've been trying it alone and now i feel like having friends to vent frustrations and motivate and swap ideas with would be the key. Please add me if you feel the same

    You can add me if you like. I'm 53 and aiming for 48lb. I've lost 16 of them so far (MFP doesn't know about the first four) or rather I had lost 16lb at the start of this week. I am on the last day of my holidays and due to return home to the scales tomorrow.
