I like your post title - yep, quite a few of us find that friends are required....much harder road without them. Sending FR. :)

Tail end of my 40s at 49... ***sigh*** 22 pounds lost, 10 to go. Feel free to add me too! :)

1. Being hard on, and hating yourself, will get you nowhere except deeper into the hole. 2. "Why" is often a useless question - you might drive yourself a bit nutty trying to figure that out and in the end all you'll have is a theory. And does it really matter? If you find out why, will it change your behavior? Probably…

You can add me if you'd like. 1/2 way to my goal & will not give up! :)

This is awesome! Thanks for posting!

Turning 50 in November...49 was tough enough! Also started needing to lose about 35-ish pounds. Half way there! Feel free to add me. :)

Congrats on the upcoming wedding - you've got enough time to make lots of progress and be a gorgeous mother of the groom! Feel free to add me for support and some butt kicking! :)

Happy Monday, Cindie! :D Feel free to add me if you'd like some company!

Welcome! I've had back issues in the past - fortunately no longer. Broke my collarbone badly about 10 months ago and am just now getting back to the gym - although not as serious as back surgery, I know the depression associated with inactivity and it's pretty common after any surgery. Feel free to add me!

Hi. I'm doing well with the weight loss, but sustaining it later with healthy eating and staying active is harder. I'll send a FR with instructions on how to do it so you can add people.

Welcome back!! Sending FR. :)

Hi. Would love more friends in my time zone! Sending friend request.

I agree with Adam...this will work if YOU do the work necessary. There's no right or wrong way - just read through the sticky posts on the forums and you'll get the hang of it. Friends help a whole lot. Add me if you'd like. :)

I like my fitbit for the motivation to move more, but not so much for measuring distance or calories. I have to do additional comparisons, but I'm pretty sure it underestimates distance and overestimates calorie burn, at least during a purposeful (for exercise) walk. But I still wear it every day, and still strive for at…

Congrats on losing the 36 pounds! Definitely learning quickly. Be patient with yourself in reworking those thought processes - it's really easy to fall back into old ways, but once you've learned something, you really don't unlearn it and any slip ups become easier to deal with. Stick with it - you're gonna continue to do…

Still behind - thank goodness for vacation starting Thursday. I'll catch up!

Islandic yogurt, hummus, frozen fish - the mahi mahi, tilapia, and hake are all scrumptious. Squash, Brussel sprouts, fresh or frozen chicken breast, ground turkey, all sorts of salad stuff, protein bars.... That's my typical shopping list. Have fun!!

Catching up - only a couple of miles left to get back on track B)

Welcome! Feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me!

I've been here several times, on my own and with friends. Friends make all the difference in sticking to it. Feel free to add me!

Still behind, but slowly catching up....but it's gonna rain again next week. :| ETA: Darn it, just realized the goal was 160, not 150 like I thought. Better get moving!

Best to you! Since you have a legitimate medical concern, are you working with a nutritionist or doc? Feel free to add me for support!

Welcome Katie! And hi everyone! Feel free to add me for support.

User name caught my eye too - love it! If you're looking for supportive friends, feel free to add me!

Falling behind - lots of rain! Guess I will have to hit the treadmill if it keeps up

Welcome! Feel free to add me - on every day :D

In for another month. Going for 160 in December. Only about 10 so far - rain!!
