Hello,
I’m new here. My goal is to lose 20lbs or so. I am in need of some motivation to keep active. 💪🏼🏃🏻♀️6 -
Hi
I am not new to MFP. I am over 60. I lost 40 pounds slowly on here during the economic downturn by exercising an hour a day and logging. Then I started working and commuting again which was the main problem before and gained it back. I had 2 jobs for a while. I now have a stable wonderful job, stopped the gain and started to lose. Then my scale became unreliable so we got a new one recently and it is measuring me back to where I was! I am glad to know what the story is and I can do this again. I had even started a great thread that became a group but it has died out and I miss the support.
I have a lot to lose. I like to lose it slow and healthily and my focus is my health and improving fitness. However I want to lose the scale/switch gain fast. I luckily didn't have any injuries or health problems until 3 years ago I threw out my knee and they said it was arthritis and said no deep knee bends or running. I was doing interval runs several days a week then. Then I broke my leg 2 years ago. So I am working to get back to where I was before. I go to aquafit 3 days a week and walk when I can. I just got an exercise machine for those days when I can't walk. I am from Seattle and we had a few weeks of smoke from forest fires this summer and we couldn't exercise outside. Except for fires our air quality is good.
I already have started to get some of those scales pounds off and I know they are real. Hope all have a great weekend.4 -
Wecome Kari. No need to thank us Canucks for the smoke.1

I had friends visiting BC around then and was surprised they went with the fires but they said it wasn't a problem where they were. However it made me wonder where the smoke from our fires was going. Maybe to Oregon. My boss comes back to work Tuesday. She was on Vancouver Island. I want to hear how it was there. I heard they had a fire as well.0 -
54. Have been logging and losing since the end of April this year of '18. So far 34 pounds down and a lot more to regain my college physique. Married 26 years this past June. Three kids the last of whom is a senior in high school. Fighting the good fight and here for the challenge ahead. Winter is my nemesis. This year will be different!

Just browsed and found you all. I'm Barbi, I'm 51 years young but feeling much older. Married for 30 years in December, blessed with a beautiful 28 year old daughter. I have rottie lab mix pup that just turned 12 years old, 3 kits - Jazi, Chip and Jake. I work in the Pharm arena (pharmacy) and LOVE the water, any water, pool, ocean, lake, rain. It calls me.
I have been on MFP off and on for several years. In the beginning I was very dedicated, lost over 80 lbs then somewhere along the line I lost my footing. I relapsed, I stopped trying. I fell into depression and I gained weight. A lot of weight. Here I am, ready to commit to losing it again.2 -

Welcome! And prepare yourself, as the process goes on, to very gradually start feeling younger again. It can happen!
Best wishes! :flowerforyou:2 -
Great to have you onboard. Nana_Booboo xx1

I am committed to losing what I gained too. I love water too and aquafit is my main exercise. Live in Seattle so I get the rain too.2 -
Hi all. I've just committed to MFP and am really hoping it can help me achieve my goals. I have seen some amazing success in these posts so I have hope. I am 55 (as much as I don't like to admit it ) and have a lot of weight to lose ). I've tried before with another program and the weight comes off so slowly that I give up before I have really seen any benefits. I'm going to really try not to do that this time as I want to do this. My first goal is to lose 10 pounds by January.4
