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.8 -
Good Morning All. Happy Friday. How many out there use one of the days of the weekend as a "Cheat 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.
Sounds like its time for a long run2 -

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.... 2

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- 1804 -
Happ Sunday all current M ages and welcome all you new M agers .Kind of overcast here today in notheast. Hope you all are having a good weekend. Good luck all.0

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?1

Morning all! and happy Monday...lets have a great week!2

Yay it's Monday!...said no one ever, especially in NJ. Had a good weekend and no cheat meals, plus maintained the gym routine. I saw an error in content above: 50 is not the new 40, because I'd be 46 and I'm only 36 so 50 is the new 30. I also like to add that 56 (even though I'm only 36) is one of the best years fitness and health-wise in my life, so keep working at it because you've got plenty of years to be the best you can be. Carpe diem!1
