Welcome back and best wishes to u!

I am 50 and I have 2 adult children. They have good habits and are encouraging me. I don't know why this is so hard, but it is.

Good luck, Ann! Feel free to add me. I have lost and gained and lost and gained. But, I'm never giving up.

Wow, Kali, I just read this thread. Super job! You must feel amazing!

I'd love some friends. It does help make you want to log in :)

What great goals! I wish you the best of luck. I'm from Canada, so exercise for me is indoors for awhile. Wish I had your nice weather!

I am 50 and would love to call that middle age. Never know! I have been doing MFP on and off for years. It only works when I'm "on", so I intend to stay. Feel free to add me.

Hi, I'm turning 50 soon...a few months away. I lost 50 lbs a couple years ago...gained back all but 10 lbs (which, in itself is a success...at least I didnt gain it all.) Recently getting back to it, but I've set my goal low, so that I can achieve. I need to feel successful to motivate myself. After creatively logging my…

I run because my iPad fits perfectly on my treadmill and I can watch Netflix without binge-watching in front of the TV.

Hi...I'm 48...lost 50 lbs, then I gained back 17...I'm in this for life, as I'm not happy with the alternative (not logging and gaining more weight). I have a ways to go still, but I know that it works! Idk if it's different after 40, but I know how pain, hormones, and stress can take its toll. I try to exercise every day…

I've taken so much time off from logging in the last 4 months, that now I feel like I better get on track more than ever. I'll be logging over Christmas, but I won't beat myself up if I go over. I just don't want to gain any more!

my goal...just to kick this crazy sugar habit. I can't seem to get enough. I'm tired too, so I'm sure that's a big part of it. I have sloughed off the exercise, too, and need to get back in! My goal for the month is to regain those healthy habits!

I am just getting re-started. Today was my first good day in awhile! I've put on some of the weight I lost, but I am determined to lose it again. All the best to you!

If you eat 2200, you will likely maintain...so, 1500 is a good number, depending on the amount and type of exercise you do. I'm also 5'5 and I burn 1650ish on a sedentary day and 2000-2500 on regular days with some exercise. Best of luck!

I also struggle with feeling of remorse after a bad meal or bad day. I like your positive attitude. It's great to have goals. Try not to punish yourself for indulging. I know I do that, then another binge follows. Sometimes it helps me to treat not just each day separately, but each meal.

Hi there...I have been MIA for some time now...I have gained back about 5 lbs in the last month. I need to get back on track. Barb, I just had gallbladder surgery last month. One attack came on so fast and furious that I ended up going to emergency and it was taken out immediately. I was hoping it weighed about 5 lbs :),…

I'm in...I have been at a standstill since Christmas. I need a push. SW 250 GW 150 CW 209 To wonderland...10 lbs Thanks for doing this!

i love mine...it's a freespirit...ive had it for about 15 years. yes, there were long periods of time i didn't use it. i keep it in the living room now, and on weekend mornings i will sometimes watch a whole movie on the bike. i usually break a sweat after 20-30 min...you can change the tension. It's a recumbent bike, so…

Hi Jordan, I came here a few years ago, got tired of logging and gave up. I continued to gain weight. I rejoined last July after hitting an all-time high at 250. I'm down 40 lbs. I have been hovering since about November (due to lack of motivation). At least this time I didn't quit and I've only gained about 3 lbs. I'm…

You seem to have such a great attitude...that can go a long way. you can do this! you will be amazed at how good you feel.

ss about your funeral...the other weekends sound fun...ive been slack with the logging and slacker with the junk food. tomorrow...im going to try to cut sweets way down! flag day is getting scarily close.

a healthy lifestyle does take commitment...ive been mostly maintaining since Dec, but i want to get motivated to lose again...its hard when life gets in the way

im not saying u do this, but for me, i get frustrated after a few days of no progress or gain, then i binge. i know it's balancing out the few days of good work i did. ive lost 41 lbs so far, and have been "stuck" here since December. I'm trying to find a way to trust the calorie numbers and stay within goal.

go for a long walk and build up your calorie bank. then have a healthy dinner

how would that mess up your count?

congratulations on losing 40 lbs!

turn down the tv so that you can only hear it if u aren't crunching :)
