Snap! I'm in exactly the same position. I'm pretty sure it's doable though... well, I hope anyway!

Hi, I just came back here last week after a 3 months absence also, and have about 10 lbs to lose as well, so I know how you feel. Come on, WE CAN DO IT!!

Cool and misty IRELAND! Am I the only one here?

my calendar age: 44 Real age: 37 Apparently I too need a dog... do you think these guys are really advertising dogs?

Oh I know how well how you feel! I'm 44 and, like yourself, am about 10lbs over my ideal weight. It just seems to have crept on since I turned 40! I'm finding it almost impossible to shift, I do walk quite a bit, but not enough apparently! Good luck with it anyhow

yep, normal when you have only a small amount to lose, I see from your profile that you are over half way to your target. weigh to go!!! :smile:

Don't worry too much about the scales, remember your weight can fluctuate by quite a bit from day to day anyway. I weighed myself Monday morning - 140 lbs, this morning I weighed 133 lb! Believe me there's no way I lost that amount of weight in just a few days, go by how you feel and how your clothes fit etc. The scales…

bump!

Ha ha! great idea, I'll have to use that one if Im ever asked!

erm... with a digital camera obviously, lol!

Well done, btw, a tip for adding photos to your profile when they are in print format and you don't have a scanner. Take photos of the prints!

I've never been on one of these site before but i think this is brilliant! I love the food diary element, so much handier than trying to tot it all up myself, also the message boards, great feedback and support

I feel your pain! A full month and I haven't lost an ounce...so frustrated after stepping on the scales after a full month to see no change in my weight, do remember that from day to day your weight can fluctuate a lot... also as someone else mentioned, muscle is heavier than fat so that might be the reason. Don't get…

Yeah, I have recently purchased a cross trainer (elliptical) Haven't had much time to try it as I have been doing a LOT of walking recently. I do quite a bit of hill walking/hiking...

so true! Thanks for all the encouraging comments...

This is pretty much why I joined here! Never had any problems losing a few pounds in the past, I'm now 43 with about 14lb to lose, been dieting and exercising for a full month now with NO results, so frustrated. I didn't weigh myself for that entire month until this morning, I could cry :cry:

Hi everyone, just joined this site, don't have a huge amount of weight to lose, about 14 lbs, been trying to shift it for about a month now to no avail, must be that old middle age spread I reckon!!! Any advice much appreciated...
