    Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

    Happy new year everybody!
    Currently at my heaviest weight. Got to my lowest for my 30th birthday and then spent the last decade gaining it back + a little extra. It’s been a tough few years but ready to get back at it! Hoping joining this thread will help me get back on track!

    Happy New Year! I was in this group the last 2 months and I am happy to be here again!
    I am 37 years old, 5'11" and currently 208.8 lbs. I will weigh in every Friday.
    I started MFP on 10/27/23 and I have lost 15 lbs since then. Each mini goal I hit I will reward myself (pedicure or new outfit, etc.)
    My goals are to lose about 2 lbs per week, track and weigh my food every day, go to the gym 3-4 times per week where I will speed walk 1 mile on the indoor track and do weight lifting for 45 min split into back/biceps, legs/abs, and chest/triceps.
    I wish all of you so much success! 💓
    CW: 208.8
    1st Goal: 208.0
    2nd goal: 198.0
    3rd goal: 185.0
    4th goal: 172.0
    UGW: 165.0

    Feeling motivated today. Last night i felt like having something else before bed, which would have taken me over my goal. Not because I was hungry but because through habit. I managed to resist. Made my lunch for today which I enjoyed today.

    I got up this morning not feeling as bloated. I'm making my lunch ready to take to work with me tomorrow at my desk job.

    What are people having for lunch? Today I had white boiled rice with sweetcorn and salmon fillet.

    Tomorrow rice , sweetcorn with cayenne peppered chicken, carrots and asparagus.

    64 y.o male in my 2nd year weight loss journey! Whereas I lost 40 lbs. in 2023, I still have 42 lbs. to lose! Will be engaging in intermittent fasting and a hybrid low carb. diet. I fully recognize my journey is much more than dieting, as it is truly about developing a lifestyle!

    Would like to support others who find themselves in a similar position as me.
