2013 is my year to reach goal. SW 157.2 CW 151.6 GOAL WEIGHT 130.0 (maybe lower) 1/1- 151.6 lbs 1/8 - 150.2 (loss of 1.4 lbs.) 1/15 1/22 1/31

Hi, I am going to send you a friend request. I don't know what a pole class is as I have never tried it. Maybe that is too advanced since you are just starting. Does your gym have the weight machines? If it does, then you could start by working with the upper body machines one day and then work the lower body ones. Gain…

Forgot to mention, I have 4 1/2 oz. of chocolate flavored rum most every night. I mix 1 1/2 oz. with diet lemon/lime drink. That will make 3 drinks. I love my adult beverages, I won't sacrifice everything I enjoy. Got to have at least one guilty pleasure.

I will stick to what I cook at home. I normally get into serious trouble when I eat out. I have very good intentions, but the smell and sight of all the "not so healthy and fattening foods" weakens me every time. So, for me, it is better to do what I know will work, eat at home. I keep things cooked and ready to eat, that…

1/1- 151.6 lbs 1/8 1/15 1/22 1/31 If I lose 5 pounds a month, then I would be at goal weight in only 5 months. Even losing a pound a week would get me to goal in 5 1/2 months. Anything that moves your body is activity. I try to get to the gym 3-4 times per week. When weather is permitting, I walk in the park, which is also…

I want to join in because I need lots of motivation. I will get to goal this year. I am a skinny person who has accumulated insulation. I am 68 but very active physically. Heck, age is a number marked by years lived. But, a true age is how one feels. Based on that, I am an awesome 44 year old. SW 157.2 CW 151.6 GW 130.0…

I've lost a newborn. But I am just getting started.

Hi, I am 5' 3" and would like to join. I am probably your oldest person participating.

I am in for the challenge also. CW 155 GW 149 5'3" tall 67 yrs. old

Congratulations, you have reason to be proud of yourself. Keep up the work that you are doing and you will reach your goal weight next year. Think positive. You have shown yourself that you can do this. If you slip and fall....GET UP and start eating healthy with the next meal. Do not wait until the next day, do it now.…

Oh my goodness, you are amazing. You look awesome. Congratulations on your success. You can be a role model for a lot of people, especially when they say it can not be done. Enjoy every second of your new healthy body and all the added bonuses it brings in confidence and self-worth.

Far too many of us suffer from emotional eating. We know for the most part what we should do but saying and doing is too things from different ends of the spectrum. MIND OVER MATTER is what it all boils down to. Our minds have to take control of our body (matter) and stop the impulsive or emotional cravings. Cravings pass…

Hi, I am 67 which is quite a bit past your age, however, struggling with weightloss show no age discrimination. Feel free to add me.

Starting again here also. Will not wait until Jan 1 to get this carb addiction under partial control, gotta do it now.

Way to go on making the decision to get healthy and fit. Same desire here and have managed 2 good days. Now to keep the motivation going. We can do this, we are woman and we are strong.

I have family visiting in 3 weeks that will make it tough. They eat one meal while planning where to eat the next. Then family will be visiting for 3 days for Thanksgiving, so a lot of eating will be going on then as well. I am just going to have to get a grip and watch the portions.....exercise....and say NO to sweets. I…

Just starting today with myfitnesspal. I am 67, semi-retired, physically fit and about 20 pounds overweight. A bad reflection in the mirror yesterday sent me over the edge....can I just say.....sumo wrestler's belly starting me in the eye ::sick:
