I loved reading the posts here. I am definitely over 50 (will be 60 this year) and have close to 80 pounds to lose. I would love to add more MFP friends. Feel free to send me a friend request. This is my year to lose weight - I'm determined. I may not be completely at goal at the end of this year, but would like to be…

I have always wondered why it is easier to grab junk food while stressed than it is to grab a piece of fruit or a ready made salad. :) I recently bought a Magic Bullet and have found that making a smoothie makes a quick meal - plus I get a lot of extra fruit and vegetables.

Lagopus, just curious - where do you live? I live in Alaska. I was wondering as you posted about seeing the Northern Lights. Sue, from Alaska

I would love to join your group. My name is Sue and I will turn 60 this year. I have always struggled keeping my weight down, but the last few years my weight has ballooned up quickly as a result of my response to a lot of stress in my life. I haven't managed how to deal with stress without turning to comfort food and the…

Please feel free to add me. I have gained a lot of weight the past few years as I have gone through a lot of stressful events and I have not learned how to deal with stress without overeating. I have always struggled with keeping my weight at goal, but now am the heaviest I have every been and feel unhealthy. I have close…
