in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. I am 53, Canadian & intend to lose 50-60 pounds over the next year. I am an emotional eater without a lot on my plate (no pun intended)…

It won’t be easy, but I feel crappy. Tired, Sore yada yada yada…. Not super motivated by my appearance, which used to light a fire under my butt in the past.

Physical and improved mental health will be my priorities. Tend to be exceptionally hard on myself - an all or nothing type. So I will be working on that also.

Humorous, love my kids, friends pets etc …. If you can relate and hope to make a life style change - add me as a friend 😊

    Same! Just a few years older... best of luck to you, and to me. It's not going to be easy, but it WILL be worth the effort

    I'm 71 and trying to lose 50+ pounds once and for all!! I've yo-yo dieted my whole life, and am an evening snacker. It's harder to carry the extra weight now and I'm constantly tired. Looking forward to some new friends & some motivation. Happy New Year all!!

    I am a 52 year old Australian. I have around 22kg / 50 pounds to lose.
    I have had some scary health stuff going on over the post two years, so followed up lock down with a desk by the fridge, with a period of excessive eating. I love to walk everywhere but have just been eating way too much.
    I have been discharged by all my medical specialists so no longer have that distraction as an excuse. I plan to track everything I eat in 2024 and get back to a better BMI.

    Good luck with your journey.

    My name is Jane, I live in North Carolina. I will be 65 in 2 days and I could copy, paste your post.
    Emotional eating, fatigue, feeling crappie, etc.
    The worst is being hard on myself tripping down guilty lane. Would love to lose 50+ lbs. this year.

    Hi, also a mom, emotional eater, with 50+ lbs to lose. My goal is to change my focus this year, push through the hard stuff, and get back to moving and eating well. I would love support buddies.
