Good morning! This is my first time posting in a thread, not sure I’m doing it right but here goes! I have been on MyFitnessPal for many years. Lost 50 lbs back in 2012 using it and tracking everything. Wanted to be healthier and smaller turning 50. Been off and on since and have gained back weight and stayed around the…

Thank you for posting! This is absolutely true and what an encouragement :-).

That is an amazing accomplishment, big congrats for your hard work and perseverance!!!

Magnificent!!! You are doing sooo good! Congratulations!

Wow! You have done and are doing an awesome job! Your hair looks amazing cut shorter!

That is fantastic! What a difference!!! Congratulations!!!

160

Awesome thread! I will be 50 tomorrow and have lost 52 lbs since Nov 2011 and have met some fabulous encouragers here on MFP! I am feeling sooo much younger, have lots more energy and am starting to "look" normal again. I still have 60 lbs. to go, but what a difference!!! You can do this and it is sooo worth it! I am…

What an awesome idea!

Thanks for the info, I just changed my settings also. I try to keep within my macros that I had set, try to watch my sodium (yesterday was a total bust!). I think the logging has helped so much in seeing just how much was in everything I ate as far as the macros go! Will have to see how this new setting goes :-).

Awesome job! You look amazing and the dress is gorgeous!!! Congrats!!!

You look fantastic! Love the haircut!! Congrats!

That is soooo awesome!!! Congrats!!!!

Sounds awesome!

Don't give up! I am about to be 50 and have been doing MFP for a year now and so far have lost 46 lbs! It is a slow process for me only because I have been doing it slowly. Am at the stage now where I can finally see in my mind where the exercise/weight lifting would benefit me greatly with the flab/skin stuff! You can do…

Thanks for the explanation! I struggle with seeing the weight gain after working out and never stick to it because of that. I've stuck with my logging this far, I need to just do the exercise consistently and not worry about the scales for a couple of weeks. HARD for me to do, but I know it will be better for me in the…

I have found that since I inadvertently stopped drinking diet cokes (just trying to get in enough water a day did that!), i no longer have that awful bloaty feeling and stomach issues! It's amazing how much better I feel. As for the taste, not sure, it's ok, but the after effects are just not appealing to me anymore.

I can now wear my old clothes in my "other" closet! I can cross my legs :-) My bras that I just bought a couple of months ago are now on the last hook, some of my old bras are too big now too! People are really noticing!!

that picture is definitely worth a thousand words! WOW!!!

Hahahaha! I thought I was the only one! That is an accurate description of me right now! I've lost about 45 lbs. My clothes are fitting great but underneath is sooo not pretty! However, I haven't execised much or lifted. I started out at 280 and am now 235 and am 5'7" 1/2. I was wondering the same thing, looking at it, it…

That is just incredible! You look fantastic!!! So what did you do to lose that much weight in 18 months?? Inquiring minds need to know :-)! So happy for you!

I just honestly didn't think at my age and as much weight as I had gained that I would EVER be able to lose it. Wow, was I wrong!!! So thankful :-). Still have a ways to go but, wow! Still can't believe almost 45 lbs is gone in a year! AND, I am heading into menopause. There is life after 40! and 45, and hopefully 50 :-)

I have a hard time with bread and potatoes, and cheese, and brownies... wow, more than I thought! It is so much easier now that it is just me in the house, don't have to have all that stuff here. I do eat my potatoes with dinner, try to switch up with sweet potatoes, but still crave reg baked potatoes, with real butter. I…

North Georgia! About an hour north of Atlanta. Grew up in northern Virginia. Am loving this Fall weather right now, although my Virginia family and friends are not right now! Yikes!!!

tilapia salad mix cherry tomatoes spinach or kale green onions sweet potatoes/white potatoes (i know sweet are better for ya, sometimes i just want my reg ones!) frozen peas greek yogurt coffee creamer balsamic vinegar/olive oil (i know it's really two but they go together for my salad dressing)

All the time!!! :-)

Definitely :-)

Hi! I'm Theresa, from North Georgia. Have been on MFP for almost a year and have lost 44 lbs so far.

I am single, two grown boys, one in college and one…
