You have found the answer on here; no diet, just keep a food/exercise diary. People encourage and support you! I have lost 12 pounds even though it has taken 50 days, this is huge for me! YOU CAN DO IT! I AM HERE 4 U!

I am 52 and find it so hard to lose weight now during menopause. I used to be able to eat anything and I jogged daily. Then I started having kids; four. I get so discouraged sometimes but since I joined myfitnesspal, it has been so much easier. I lost 4 pounds in four weeks but yesterday I overate and I know I will pay for…

Awesome! keep up the good work! Thanks for inspiring us! You are pretty brave to post pix but then you are a LOT younger than me, lol. and it is ok:-)

I AM 52, OFFICIALLY GOING THROUGH MENOPAUSE, AND AM SO GLAD TO FIND MFP AND THIS THREAD!:heart: I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted growing up and was skinny. Then I took up running in my 20's and could still eat a lot and be slim. Then I got in car accidents and couldn't run. Then I got married and had 4 children.…

For now I am weighing myself every day because I gained weight by being 'in denial'. If I overeat one day, I don't weight myself the next day. But I get right back on my diet and weigh myself the next day. Did that today and I didn't gain or lose over 2 days. But, hey, I just started, just bought a scale, so it is trial…

sorry this is too confusing for me; didn't grow up with computers. Anyway, it is still a great idea!

Count me in!

This really encourages me! Congratulations Cynthia! More fun being a mother of young kids when you can keep up with them! I know cuz I raised 4 and it was easier when I was thinner. But, thanks to all the support on here, like you, I know I can do it. Thanks for sharing and God bless you and yours!

I have lived with back pain before so I can relate. There is a lot of good advice on here; especially about talking to your doctor about exercise you can do and recording everything you eat. I am a Christian and will keep you in my prayers. God bless you!

New to MFP and loving it! Thanks for starting this post! For me, my goal is to write everything down I eat, no matter what, and to stop eating a couple hours before bedtime. I also want to try not eating in front of the tv so much. I grew up being able to eat all I wanted and was skinny. As an adult, i was a runner. Then I…

@queendebor; thank you that encourages me too! Don you are doing fine, and have lost over a pound a week! Congrats!

Thanks for being honest about the bad days. We all need to encourage each other to keep going! I am proud of you! Congrats!

YOU HAVE SO INSPIRED ME! That is the weight I have been in, although I am a lot older and have 4 kids. Anyway, I am so happy for you! Congrats!

YOU GO GIRL! CONGRATS!

Congratulations and Merry Christmas; great gift 4 u!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I am so sorry to hear that your Christmas is not good. My kids went to live with their dad this past summer so it is going to be hard for me. I do have a husband though. But, I want you to know that the Lord Jesus Christ has a better life for you, as He had for me. I used to blame Him for my problems until He came into my…

Congratulations! you go girl! :happy:

Praise the Lord sister and thanks for the encouragement. I need to lose 45 lbs. My struggle is in the evenings when I like to relax, watch a little tv, and snack. I quilt some to keep busy and I am trying to eat less in front of tv. So, would you pray with me about that? How about you, what is your struggle? I love how you…

Hi! Feel free to email me at: wendi.mrst@gmail.com anytime. I need to lose at least 45 lbs but I think anything over 5 is a lot! God bless you!
