Hi, I'm a young 52 yrs old and I need to achieve the lower end of my healthy weight. This means losing 20 lb by Spring. This is a healthy goal but aggressive too. Anyone else have to lose 15 or 20 lb?

    I need to drop 15-20, hopefully by June. I am also in my young 50's and very motivated to find some other people who will rise to the challenge! Do you have a plan in mind?

    I will be your buddy! I am not in my 50's though, I am in my late, late 30's. I have a little bit more weight to lose, as I have 25 pounds to go. I started in September, and have lost 11 pounds out of 35 thus far. I wish you well thru the holidays! Let me know if you wanna be buddies on here. :):)

    Okay, office party happened today. All my gifts from all coworkers, secret Santa, and the boss were all chocolate food items. Plus, they had Olive Garden cater and then brought in a huge cheesecake. The only thing they had to drink was Hawaiian punch or Coke. Omg. It was a feast. What am I going to do with an entire jar of hersheys chocolates, a dozen donuts, a pie and brownies? Yes, I did indulge in some of them. Ugh. Then, we are working longer hours over the holidays so working out isnt happening. I come home and head straight to bed. Trying to lose weight during Christmas is like trying to stay under water and not come up for air.

    Hi! Please feel free to add me as a friend as well. I have 16 lbs left to go.. not as easy as it was 10 years ago! I can always use more support on here (a few of my past buddies fell off the wagon I think).

    Hi I'm 51 and my long term goal is 30 lbs. My near term goal is just to eat better, food plan, (be accountable for my food consumption and nutrition) and exercise more. I signed up for my 2nd round of Boot Camp and have plan to lane swim at the local pool. I will send a friend request. It's great to have support with like minded people so it doesn't feel like you're doing this alone.
