in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, happy to be here and hoping to stay motivated. I’m fifty and have about fifty lbs to lose. I’ve been on the weight gain journey for about 6 years now. Moving, knee injury, and entitled attitude (if I want to eat it, dammit I will) and stress have all contributed to where I am now. This thing called “old age” is creeping in, lots of new aches and pains, planters fasciitis, pre menopause, etc. and these are things I know a thinner body could manage much better. I also have an amazing 2-1/2 year old grandson who I’m fortunate enough to spend every weekend with and he’s running full force now! Did I mention I can’t run?! Anyhow I’m pretty down to earth and don’t take myself or this thing called life too seriously but I’d like to stick around as long as I can. Hope to meet people who will walk this journey with me and enjoy a laugh or two along the way.

    Hi there ... MFP was not working on my phone well about 2 years ago so I deleted it. I need to start tracking and decided to give it a go again and low and behold - it works much better! I am 45 and have 29lbs to lose. I hear you about aches and pains and menopause - certainly adds challenges, but we can do this!! Hope you find MFP really helpful - it really helped me about 10 years ago and I am really looking forward to getting healthier again. Take care!!
