    Is it too late to join? I'm starting over again myself. Lost 30 pounds last year and then lost my way over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then January came and went. Then I noticed it was the middle of February and I still haven't done anything! Have been trying to find the willpower to just get started again and finally drew a line in the sand and said Today is the day. Starting slowly.

    I hope that you will find us to be supportive. I'm the sort of person who sits and researches and reads around a subject, and the latest research shows that willpower is over-rated. The real secret of thin people is that they don't have the "naughty" treats easily to hand, and most importantly don't buy excess amounts of them for a celebration. So it's fine not to have the willpower, as long as you don't have cupboards full of temptation..

    @MountainTopMom I'm sure it's such a bittersweet time. Hugs and love to you my Colorado Friend. I agree that age is a state of mind and the healthier our bodies the younger our minds - Seize the Day <3

    I’m in, will be hitting 50 soon enough! Been using this app for over three years and sometimes the struggle is hard! So I decided to start a new and create a new profile. Fresh start, fresh goals! Hopefully this will be the kick in the *kitten* that’s needed!

    Snowy, rainy here in Ohio. Temperature has been below 0 to over 60 in the last month. Crazy.

    Snowing in southern Idaho today, too. I have to remind myself that snow in the winter turns into water in the rivers in the summertime.

    We"re getting snow here in New Hampshire overnight into tomorrow making the morning commute not so fun....I like that reminder @alteredsteve175 that the snow turns into water in the rivers!!

    Stay warm!

    Hope everyone’s having a good week so far. No snow on the coast, just some rainy days and colder temps. It’s suppose to be 70 tomorrow, so that’ll be great. 😊

    Ok let’s hear from everyone, I finished under my calorie goal with 38 remaining and walked 3.02 km’s yesturday. It was hard fighting that urge to go over my cal’s but, I held the temptation off!! Day 2 of the fresh start begins!! Everyone have a great day!

    Great job brother, you stuck it out.

    I'm totally dialed during the week, but weekends can be a real struggle. For me personally I try to think in terms of food substitution vs, food denial. Some days though.. it's a full time job to not eat what I want.

    50 isn't so bad, and I try to remind myself of what's more important, this peanut butter sandwich (insert any food here), or do I want to look a certain way, or achieve a certain goal.
