I'm 71 and trying to lose 50+ pounds once and for all!! I've yo-yo dieted my whole life, and am an evening snacker. It's harder to carry the extra weight now and I'm constantly tired. Looking forward to some new friends & some motivation. Happy New Year all!!

Hi Ladies! I'm over 200 pounds again, right now at 216.4. I've been a yo-yo dieter all my life and an evening snacker with a sweet tooth. I'm getting older and finding that it's much harder to carry the weight now. Constantly fatigued & need to get this extra weight off!! Hope we all can be friends! Happy New Year!! 😊 :o

@namelesshere You'll get plenty of inspiration here at MFP! Logging all my food seems to be the only way for me to lose too. Good luck and prayers that the cancer is gone soon!!

Welcome back, Steve! Take care!!

Congrats on the 2 pounds gone!! Woohoo!! Yes, I find that rotating what you eat really helps, and I too love all the tips on good healthy low-cal. foods! I think you're doing just great, Mary, and love hearing all about your journey. I just love that we can encourage each other here on MFP! Helps so much!! Good luck all!!…

Bless you Mary!! Yes the more you lose the easier it should be to get around! I always envision for every 5 pounds lost, that's a whole bag of sugar I don't have to carry around anymore!!! You'll feel lighter in no time with your daily swims!! Good for you!! Keep up the good work my friend!!

Wow--you're doing great!! I always tend to starve myself....and then give up and gain everything back! Much better to have a plan that's manageable for life. Congrats to you! Gives me a lot to think about!

Hi Mary! Thanks so much for your comments! I had forgotten the "diet soup", how could I??? LOL That's a good one--I'll make some this weekend with some leftover cole slaw mix. I love the shredded cabbage and carrots in the soup--makes it even more delicious! Please add me as a friend! I'd add you, but I'm not very good at…

I've never considered that sleep would make a difference in weight loss, but it makes total sense. A person would be able to make better decisions about what and how much to eat if they're well rested. I'll keep that in mind going forward! Thanks so much! Good luck all, and have a great day!!

Thanks so much for the info, Steve, and for the encouragement! Much appreciated! Have a great day!!

I like the idea of finding folks my own age too!! It's so encouraging to hear all the stories and get some new ideas. I too am very uncomfortable with the extra pounds. Need to lose about 40 lbs! :/ But I know I'll feel so much better if I just do it, and MFP really seems to help!! Good luck, and Happy New Year!!

When I cut out sugar "for a while" last year, I felt sooooo much better!! It really motivates you to eat better! Good luck and keep at it everyone!! :)

I'm going to try freezing the protein shake as well. I'm an evening snacker, and LOVE chocolate, so that would fit the bill!! Also, logging my food intake is key for my weight loss too. Good luck everyone!!

I'll be 67 in February, and need to lose about 40 pounds! Yikes! But I was on here in 2012 and did really well, so I'm really getting serious about the weight loss and getting healthier. Please add me as a friend! Thanks, and Happy New Year everyone!! :)

Your story is similar to mine. I haven't been on for a couple years, but I really need to get serious! I need to lose 40 pounds too!! I'd love to lose it by May 1st for an upcoming vacation and anniversary, but that's probably unrealistic. But, I'm committed to doing my best! We can encourage each other!! :smile:
