Hi gang. 51 and been on and off this site for 4 years or so. I do best when I stay on track and log... looking to connect with others and help keep me accountable. Wish I didn't love food so much. Been battling weight for pretty well all of my adult life.

I am an Occupational Therapist in a busy hospital. Love my job, never boring, always meeting new people.

Amazing - you look so happy! Congratulations and so awesome that you have been able to maintain your weight loss!!

Yes, I can relate to stress and wanting to eat to help feel better - I think this is a pattern for many of us. Sometimes, the best thing is to "fess up like you just did and move on!! Try not to let a bad day turn into a bad week. You can do it!! Take care and start again tomorrow!!

Amazing transformation - congratulations!!! And yes, you look so much younger! I love your smile in your after photo - you look very happy. Well done!!!

Request sent!

Yes, Mom over 40 here too. I am 47 with 4 kids - 19,17,13 and 8. I started MFP just before my 47th birthday just over a month ago and I have lost 15.5 pounds so far. Gained and lost so many times, I have lost count. Seems when I gain, it goes higher everytime - so no more. MFP has been my lifeline in helping me track my…

Yay for regular store shopping. Have a great Halloween!!! I love dressing up too!!

Hi Jess, Here in Canada too. I so can relate to your post. I too dieted before my wedding (some 22 years ago). However when that goal passed, there was no real incentive to keep the weight off and I gained. I have also gained and lost so many times, I have lost track - after each of my 4 kids, high school reunions etc. I…

I am only into this one month, so I haven't quite figured out my splits too well between meals. I try to log things when I get home from work and then see what I have left for supper. Hopefully I haven't gone too overboard. Just a couple of ideas for snacks that I do: cut up some cucumbers and tomatoes and just eat them -…

Another baby boomer here too - well the tail end of it anyway. I will send a request.
