    Lol!
    We did a local event a few years ago, and I rocked the kid’s course with my son. The other two courses were a bit too intimidating for me as a newbie back then. It was a proud moment! :)

    Thank you! This is #7 for me

    That's awesome!

    Hello! I'll be 41 in September. I have very active kids - 15 yo girl and 5 yo boy. I've lost and regained back the same 30 or so lbs my entire life. Looking to make a permanent change and keep it off this time around. HI!

    It's not a cheat day (like it used to be) that's a free for all, but I do usually eat less "nutritious" stuff, although not in massive volumes on one of my weekend days. I also use it to try different ways of cooking (Indian, Thai--and the obligatory full fat coconut milk). So yes, I cheat but not in a grand fashion. Oh, and I eat way less raw vegetables and seldom eat oatmeal on that day.

    I totally didn't set out for it to be a cheat day but damn I skipped cheat and went straight for gluttony. !!!!!! I am not unhappy about it but I have shocked myself with how overboard I went.

    Happy Super Saturday. I know we all don't check in on the weekend.Just wants say thanks to all my friends on mpf .Helping me to make better choice. I was feeling down and wanted to eat a whole tray chocolate chip cookies.I was about to eat my emotions. I STOPPED. I made a choice not to. Its crazy how people you never have met in real life can help each other . Good luck to all and have a good weekend.

    Hi! 37 year old here who is just getting started on mfp (and getting started on losing weight in general.) I've been doing pretty good food-wise and less well with exercise. Today is a cheat day since a friend is coming into town, so it's Thai food time. Yesssss.

    Good evening everyone. I am 2 months shy of my 49th birthday. About a month ago I decided that I was tired of being sick and tired. After about 30 years of drinking soda, eating bad food, and generally abusing my body, I just stopped. I downloaded MFP about three weeks ago. It's a bit silly that I find myself being accountable to an app on my phone, but I really do think about what MFP is going to say when I enter my foods after each meal.

    Since starting (weighing 219 at the time), I've dropped 12 pounds. I drink mostly water, which is probably making the biggest difference in my progress. I do eat one meal a week that is just decadent - my reminder to myself that things like pizza and Chinese takeout aren't off the table forever.

    This is also my first post on MFP. Nice to meet you all.

    Well done.. and welcome :smile:

    Happy Sunday to all of you! Mine has been a crazy one so far. Got my grandson for an overnight stay (20 months old) and he decided to get GoGo (what he calls me) up at 4 am! On my second cup of coffee and without even thinking about it-have ate a few things I shouldn't. Well, have to count them and get on with my day! Here's to staying in control the rest of my day.... :)

    Good morning!

    Hi everyone! I’m Chrissie, I just turned 50/40 (50 is the new 40 so I’m told LoL) Time to bounce back and re-set! I did real well at one point, totally clean eating, exercising, and logging in MFP, I had about 8 lbs left to goal and felt awesome and healthy, BUT, lost my motivation somewhere. And believe me I looked everywhere! It definitely was not on the couch or under the piece of cake that I ate! LoL What I did find is 26.3 lbs! Uggghh I wasn’t looking for that!

    I’m real excited about getting back on track and making some new friends. I could use some help finding my motivation and accountability, hopefully being able to give some in return and making this journey fun!

    Original starting weight - March ‪2015 193‬
    Lowest weight - December 2015 153.7
    Currently- 180

    I can't deny it any longer. I've gained weight. I lost more than 100 pounds about 15 years ago when I was in my mid-30s and managed to keep it off all this time. But it seems the minute I turned 50 last year, the weight started creeping back. This time it settled on my lower stomach and hips which is not where I typically would put on weight in the past. My pants don't fit and I feel sluggish and tired. No matter how much I exercise (and I've kept up a daily 30 minute 4 MPH treadmill routine since I lost weight the first time) or how much I tried to eat right, I've managed to gain 20 pounds in the last 8 months. So, here I am, back on the calorie counting/diet train. This time feels different, however. The issue is that I am a 5 foot tall, 50-year-old woman. My metabolism is non-existent. How am I supposed to lose weight and keep it off? I don't think I was eating that much when I was gaining weight. I've managed to lose 3.5 pounds in 5 weeks by eating less than 1200 net calories per day so I'm on the right track but I'm worried I won't be able to keep it off. Will I ever get to eat chocolate chip cookies again?
