I'm a 56 year old male and I'm ready to lose some weight. I got married 31 years and almost 50 pounds ago. I just joined yesterday after thinking about it for about 3 months. After all, I don't need help, right? Wrong. I'd love to lose 40 pounds, but ANYthing would be great.

It's been helpful just being able to view the calories on different choices just after one day. I hope this can be a great success story because it's getting hard to take a deep breath with these extra pounds in the way.

    I am 45 and have lost 42 pounds since July. It helps to record all the food that you consume. It shows you where the calories are and what you need to eat in moderation. Good luck and happy losing!

    Feel free to add me.. I may be quite young but I have a lot to lose. I log everything I put into my mouth and often I try to plan for days ahead of time. I have two kids and a husband who are relatively picky eaters so my challenge is enjoying lower calorie recipes that taste great. If you would like some ideas give me a holler!
