in Introduce Yourself
Hi I am determined that this time things will be different. In the past I have lost weight and then put it back on. I read that being in a supportive environment helps with weight loss so any support I can give or get would be gratefully received.

I am female and just over 50 which is shocking to write as I don't feel it and am finding it harder to loose weight. I realise that I need to exercise more the trouble is fitting it in.

    Hi there!

    Well I can honestly say this site can solve your problems. I started 14 month ago and have lost over 100 pounds by just keeping check of what I am eating and about an hours walk every day. All you need is motivation and the want to lose weight and realise that you can be whoever you want to be and if that is 25lb lighter then you make it happen! Stay in the green on your daily calorie goal and do not deprive yourself of your favourite foods, just simply eat fewer of them, throw vegetables and fruit into your diet and hey presto!

    Feel free to add me if you like, I am only too happy to help :-)

    I'm the same with losing and then putting on, I've always thought the difficulties not in losing the weight so much as keeping it off. Feel free to add me

    Hi there! I am also in the UK........I'm in Kent, where today it was sunny but as the day progresses its becoming overcast and cloudy......just in time for my outdoor exercise.

    I hope you don't mind, I've sent you a freind request : )

    I only joined MFP on Saturday altho I have in the past been a yo-yo dieter. SO far I've filled in my food diary online everyday and its making me more conscience of what I eat and how much I exercise soI'd say so far so good for me.

    Good luck with your weight loss, I have no doubt you will achieve your target with lots of friendly support here.

    Jo.

    Hi - know what you mean about not feeling 50! Best of luck with your weight loss - I've been on here since around the end of June, have lost 35 pounds and still have a stone to go, by keeping track of what I eat and exercising - I have had personal training sessions which I only meant to have to give me a kick start but now feel like they're a necessity! MFP is great for support and for keeping your eye on the ball - even if it goes off from time to time this site helps you get back on it again. Feel free to add me as a friend - that goes for anyone else really - I still appreciate all the help I can get and will be happy to support other wannabe weight losers

    Hi I am from the UK and live in glorious Devon. I am 67 and really do not feel it, though I am carrying a lot of weight around, but things are going to change, and I am so pleased I found this site, purely because I downloaded an app for the ipad what luck that was. Add me as a friend if you like.
