*my name is Bitta

I'm 53 with three M's also. I have three kids out of the house and two teenagers. I love to hike, camp, and bike. I've been hampered the past year when my hip gave out. I'm in line for a hip replacement but would like to lose some weight pre surgery so here I am. I teach so am shooting for summer surgery. Looking forward…

I'm new to this group and excited to be here. I've been off and on MFP for several years. I'm 53 and would like to lose weight to become healthier for hip surgery. Bitta in Chicago

Just for today, I'll track everything I eat.

Very inspiring!

Big difference- keep it up! You’ll bethrilled!

You are lovely! Thanks for the inspiration!

That is awesome! I would be interested in how you altered you diet to be that successful. I know you are not supposed to lose weight for a specific event but I have something in late August that I’d love to lose weight for (and continue afterwards of course). Will you share your calories or what you cut/included to aid you…

Way to go!!

Congratulations! You look great and perfect for summer!

You are positively glowing now, you look fantastic! You must feel so much more energy. I’ve got roughly the same amount to lose as you did. How long have you been working at it and how did you go about it? Amazing!!!

That’s awesome!! Loose pants are a great feeling- especially with summer coming!

Good for you! It is amazing how people can plant perceptions in your mind. Keep up the healthy lifestyle!

Fantastic! Way to get to it!

Wow, thanks for sharing! You are a huge inspiration and what a big difference six well spent weeks can make!

I'm in...I've had success on MFP too but last quarter of 2016 was really hit or miss.

Fantastic life change! Good news with the organic switch!

Major difference, keep it up!!
