i so enjoy the British sense of humor!

68 - and I really surprised myself! Some were so close in points!

Welcome! The site and its members are great motivators so you are well on your way to success! I lived in Mason for about 3 years - miss the area ;( Karen

I agree! How could you NOT see the changes!

You just really bummed me out!

WOW! Great job. I suggest you change your profile picture ~ beautiful!

Well said!

Wow. I guess at this point in my life (48 years old) I have accepted who I am and am not nearly concerned about what others think as I used to. When I was your age, this situation would have bothered me tremendously. With age comes wisdom (hey, there is an upside to getting older!) and I have the confidence and serenity…

Good luck! I am in the Shenandoah valley in Virginia. This is a great forum for support so stick with it!

I am doing this mostly for myself. My husband is a good motivator in the sense that he keeps himself in shape. I also think me being a good role model for my children - I want them to have a life than always includes exercise and a healthy eating style. Never heard of Tesco so it's something I'll google. Thanks!

Good luck! You've got to have faith in yourself.

Twenty pounds since August?? Celebrate that huge victory and hunker down and commit to fighting the battle some more. Wouldn't you hate to see all that progress go to waste? Keep strong!!!

Good for you for taking charge of any weight issue you have. You will meet lots of different people on MFP who are always willing to provide motivation ~ good luck!

I am by no means an expert but losing 20 pounds within 4+ months is certainly doable.

I just have one question . . . where are you hiding the 56 pounds you want to lose???? I don't see how that could be possible! There wouldn't be anything left of you!

Wow - the weight loss really shows in your face as well! Great job!

Incredible! But what is really inspiring is your attitude ~ congratulations!

Welcome! It stinks to be middle-aged in terms of our weight, doesn't it??!! What kind of logic is it that we are finally accepting of WHO we are but now the physical WHAT that we are is going to pot! The treadmill/elliptical is a great way to start. Good luck and feel free to friend me for support!

Welcome to MFP - there is lots of support here. Good luck! Feel free to add me as a friend if you need a cheerleader!

Good for you! The vast majority of the people head to the gym to get in shape and improve their health - the last thing you should worry about is people looking at you. I know that when I am in the gym and I see someone who obviously isn't familiar with with the routine I applaud them for making the effort! Keep it up and…

Congratulations! Stick with it and you will do well.

Oops . . . eating PROPERLY!

You bet! I haven't been eating or working out lately and was shocked when I got on the scale tonight! SW: 123 GW: 115 - 118

SHBoss 1673 - I enjoy your posts and concede that you are much more informed than I! I am in the position of being a small person who is just looking to lose those final 5 pounds and struggling. My diet was wonderful until my husband returned from overseas after an absence of 3 months and then hosting guests for about 3…

Wow - very impressed!

WOW - great job!

Count me in! I am only working on about 3 pounds, however. I also had a lousy October month and am looking forward to getting back on track!

I wasn't involved for the October challenge but am geared up for November! for November, kvr413: lose 10 lbs, thanksgiving included, which will put me at 169!
