Hiya,
Looking for an accountability partner for a 15 lb loss over the next 2-3 months.
I'm female, 54 and looking to get into summer shape so it's not another fat summer.
Anybody interested? Women only please.

    YAY! Let's do it! Maybe we can get a little group going.
    First, congrats on 27 lbs gone! That's a great accomplishment.
    What plan are you following? I'm loving the food and exercise tracker here. Love that I can check in from any device.

    I'm basically vegetarian but eat eggs and some dairy. I did Fat Flush last year with great temporary success but calorie deprivation is no way to live long term. I ended up going crazy and gained 15 lbs in a month and have kept it on since Sept. Time for it to go for good. AND learn how to eat properly without starving once and for all.

    I only just turned 40 so I didn't make the cut ;) but I wanted to wish you well in your journey =) Age doesn't make us fabulous, how you move what you have and think with what you've got makes us fabulous ;) And in my books, having what it takes to turn your health around and get in shape is pretty darn fabulous lol

    Good luck ! You can do it!

    The more the merrier!!

    Agreed~ Age is just a state of mind. Some days I feel like a teenager. Some days, not so much.
    What generally makes the biggest difference for me is how well I'm eating and exercising.
    It's nice when everything is humming!

    I do 30 mins on the treadmill 5-6 days a week. Trying to include some strength training.
    I tried Wii Fit but I didn't love being reminded that I missed a day or 2...
    I find I have to do something first thing in the am or I don't do it at all.
    What's your favorite exercise routine?

    I would love to be a part of this group. I'm going on 52 years old and was losing weight consistently and tracking on MFP until I started menopause a year ago June 14. Since then my weight has stalled and out of frustration I've gained 10 lbs of it back. I recently switched to vegetarian lifestyle to see if that gets me back to losing again. I have been eating healthy no processed food for awhile now, I think it would be nice to be part of a group of 50s and fabulous.

    LOL. Proof reading is over rated. Actually, i kind of like it. But if I were a plant, I'd forget to water myself.

    Eh, that doesn't sound right either....

    51 here and I just started about 2 weeks ago. I've lost a few pounds, but need to be accountable to someone. I was almost to my goal with weight watchers when I stopped and thought I could do it by myself the rest of the way. I then had to have foot surgery and was not able to exercise like I should. One year later I'm back to where I was. I would love to lose about 20 lbs this summer!!!

    I always have trouble with evening snacking. lately I have been wanting some chocolate, so I bought some dark chocolate bars and have small square, usually that helps my craving.

    Same here! I am trying the jello sugar free snacks (only 10cals per serving) with a tbsp fat free whipped cream. While it's not as good as chocolate (sigh!) it has helped me when those evening cravings hit!!

    I have to really be careful about eating later in the evening because I will get reflux. That will go away when I lose some weight but for now I dont have much choice. I guess thats a blessing in disguise. :) Hope you are feeling better.
