    Hello, I am 53 yrs old with 58 pounds to lose. I live in the country, we have two calves and laying hens, and I like to put in a garden. I worked 22 yrs in a hospital now stay at home since hubby had a stroke and we have a 9 yo daughter. I was able to quit smoking 2 1/2 yrs ago and now want to work on getting the extra weight off. I joined ww but couldn't stand paying the 40 dollars a mo. for the online tracking system. So glad to find the MFP for free. Also just joined this site and would love to have a buddy to talk to during this journey. Happy Black Friday.(Does shopping count as exercise?)

    Hi everyone, My name is Cindy and I am 53. I am a recent graduate of being laid off from my job. The good think about that is I can focus on exercise and eating healthy while I look for a new job! I joined MFP in July but have not lost very much at all, hopefully that will change. I live in Illinois and now it is cold so I go to the fitness center and workout on the Wii at home. I lift weights with a trainer 2x's a week but will probably have to give him up soon due to funds.

    Wow! Just joined today. I feel like I've hit pay dirt! This is great! I'v been reading many of the post from all of the topices listed and I see several people like myself want to lose around 50lbs. I hope we can be an encouragement to each other and learn some new tricks along the way. I've really been struggling to lose the weight. And, have gotten discouraged too many times to count. I'm hanging in it to win it though! I have not given up yet. Just wish I knew what works.
