    I'm with you dude. I'm 51 and in the same boat. It's amazing how simple it becomes when you log in everyday and track your meals and exercise. Hope to see you at the finish line.

    Congratulations!

    I'm in the same boat at 56. Started to become complacent and then didn't like what I was seeing in the mirror. Started the first of January to really begin the journey by tracking what I was doing. Still have a long ways to go but we all have to start somewhere.

    :bigsmile: :glasses: i'm 57, too..........and decided last summer I'd had enough of being a chunky Gramma!

    Life is good at this age................I am healthier and happier than I've been in a long time! You can DO this, my friend. Take your time..........you spent a lot of years getting to where you are, so make positive moves but DON'T overdo!

    Much success to you :bigsmile: :glasses:
