I just turned 51 and I have been fighting 50 pounds for about 10 years. I need some ideas and support as to how i can finally battle this weight once and for all. I am hoping that I will be inspired by many of you. I can't seem to exercise enough and don't make good eating choices. I look forward to the friendship and support.

    Welcome! This is, IMHO, the best lifestyle change. I've been doing this for 2 months and have dropped nearly 26 lbs and 17 inches. How? More output, less input. I'm not only making better food choices, but when I seem them on my diary, I see exactly what those choices are worth. Some of the calories will scare you!

    Feel free to add me....I'm in this for the long haul.

    Hi Hon do the best you can and start out slow. Exercise is important to weightloss so find something you enjoy doing. I will be happy to join your friendclub on MFP I need all the support that I can get as well. By the way my name is Kristal

    I would love to add some of you as well if that is ok? I just started on here yesterday. I am determined to start making better choices and get fit. I just started a 6 month process of looking at and preparing gastric bypass. I would love to avoid bypass so I am getting serious and have heard great things about this site. I am loving it so far!! I love how you can see exactly what you still need in way of protein, carbs, etc. Or rather what I have already eaten too much of in the case of yesterday. :)

    It's good that your daughter's wedding is coming up, so now you have the opportunity to set fitness goals for yourself and a year to reach them! And that's how it starts. It's all about the MFP math - calories in and calories burned. My only advice is to log everything, even on the bad days, and find a way to get out and get active at least 3-4 times a week. And be patient - it's healthy, and it works, but not super fast! Add me if you want support. :smile:
