Wow - I'm so glad I found this website! I mean, it can't get any easier adding up calories, protein, fats, etc. in order to review and plan your meals! And message boards, too! Wow again! Are there any other 50 year old women out there who want to "lose a little" but do more in the maintenance department? Are you a busy woman who needs to find time to exercise, like me?

    Disclaimer: I am not 50 or a woman, but I agree it is easy. :laugh:

    How long have you been on your weighloss journey, Slumdog? hahahaha Well, I'm hoping that I'll be shouting a Jai Ho! in a month or two in celebration of the loss of some poundage over here!

    Well, you're the prime example of being friendly and supportive! Thank you so much for the warm welcome - it's like I've found another home here! I'm not much of a blogger or message boarder, but I can see that I may be a bit more active in posting than I have in the past.

    Hey Mars... I began MFP in November. It is overall health for me, but really starting with my weight and O boy! has it ever been a learning experience?!

    It's interesting and educational when women speak about weight loss and fitness (colon cleansing, detoxification, water weight, walking, calories...) as these words/terms normally aren't in a man's dialogue. When I speak about all-around health (colon cleansing, detox, calories, walking) all my husband hears, I believe, is "blah blah blah"! So it'll be enlightening to hear about a man's journey through lifechange (diet and fitness).

    I'm sorry... I tried to read that, and then when I got to colon cleansing... I only saw "blah, blah, blah." LOL

    I must say, I'd be offended if pretty much all of my friends weren't that way too. :tongue:
