  • Thanks, MzKlutch... I'm enjoying this thread quite a bit. Seems that folks here are quite supportive. Stef, (not that I'm an oldtimer, but) I joined WW back in early 2008 after being overweight-to-obese for most of my life. I lost the first 35 lbs just eating better, and then I started running (really a slow jog). I'd…

  • I'm 41 and working to get (back) to the neighborhood of my goal weight. I'm a college professor and writer--working on a book about vultures (if you think YOU eat junk, etc). My research has me doing a lot of world travel, which is great for my mind but not so much for my waistline. I'd put back on nearly 20 lbs of the 57…

  • Absolutely treated differently. When I lost nearly 60lbs and started a new job in a new city, I was treated much differently than I had been before at new jobs. People wanted to have lunch with me, for example (few people invited me to lunch when I was a size 18). My coworkers threw "welcome night out" parties for me--that…

  • Not new to MFP, but new to making friends here. I'm 41, and nearly 8 years ago, I lost over 55lbs. I've kept much of the weight off since then... but in the last year, the scale just kept creeping creeping creeping until I had grown out of all but my roomiest clothes. I've recommitted, but also moved to a new state (NY)…
    in Hi 40 and Fabulous! Comment by devakali November 2014
  • Hello MFPers, I'm back after a hiatus of nearly 2 years... that gained me nearly 20 lbs! So... 9 of them down since coming back and I would love some pals to help with motivation. Please add me!

  • Hi all, I've been on MFP for close to a year, off and on. I lost 50 lbs a few years back and have been working to keep it off and lose about 10 more. Everything is more fun with friends, so feel free to add me--I can use workout motivation and healthy home-cooked food ideas. C
