Hello... I'll be 51 in about exactly 2 weeks and started this again on December 3rd. This will be the 3rd time I will have lost 50+ lbs. The first time, it was just under 100. The second, right about 50, and this time, my goal is to lose about 60-ish. As of right now, I'm 15 lbs down from where I started. I am determined…

Wow! Jealous of everyone here! I'm down 15 so far, and can still wear the same jeans. They're loose, and very comfy, but so far, no need for new ones yet.

I'm actually doing both right now. I've lost and gained weight using so many tools, tricks, programs, (including both MFP and WW), that I've actually lost track. I find that both offer different things. I like the local accountability that WW offers. I like the fact that meetings exist, that I have to face a person when I…

I could have written your post....but not so eloquently! I'll be 51 in February...and a few weeks ago, I just got fed up! The week after Thanksgiving, I looked at myself through REAL eyes, not excuses, and decided that I am NOT going to go the way of so many relatives...old, debilitated, helpless as they age. Beginning…

I used to cardio-kickboxing religiously 6 days a week, for about 10 years. Class began at 5, it took me 5 minutes to rinse my face, brush my teeth, put my hair in a pony tail. It took me another 15 min to get to the studio. I had it timed to the second! I'd sometimes sleep in the workout pants I was going to wear, and…

Thanks so much for all the advice. I'll just keep going and see if it works. Am still a few days out of my first (self-imposed) weigh-in/check, so we'll see if I'm on the right track. Thanks again for the replies!

Good luck! I can completely relate to the lose it-gain it cycle! Please feel free to add me!

I'm between 5'3 and 5'4. At my recent lowest (after children) of 150, I was about a size 6. Not sure why that is...I would expect that to be much bigger, at that weight given how short I am. I'm now at the beginning bits of menopause, and I'm thinking I'll be happy with around 165-170....but I'm optimistic. i just want to…

I think she's rather inspirational, to be honest. I know it's not quite the same, but this made me think of a poster that was used by the para-lympics a few years ago. It was a double amputee with artificial limbs, running...with the same slogan, "What's your excuse?" I have to say that this has motivated me to get off my…

WOW! What a crappy experience to have, and how revealing of the ugly those girls carry inside themselves. Though not quite the same, I had a similar experience yesterday, which motivated me here today. Hang in there and celebrate yourself....you've ALREADY won by not letting them take you down :)

Hi.. I'm new too! I created a profile almost 2 years ago, but didn't follow through, since I was a WW member, and was doing GREAT! But, of course, I stopped following, stopped paying attention, and gained it all back. I've done this so darn many times, and am sick of feeling the way I feel. If I could have once lost 80…
