I really need this challenge! This is probably my biggest downfall when it comes to weight loss. I will begin today, June 4.

That's what I do...I log my strength training under cardio.....I researched on how many calories are burned depending on what weight/strength training exercise I am doing.....I have this info saved....so on the days I do strength training, I log it under cardio....hope this helps out....

Hi, I'm new to this thread. Glad I found it. I like the Spring Challenge folks are on.....I have been doing my own weight loss challenge. My highest weight: 250 (last summer)...I've been on a roller coaster for months but got recommitted back in January.....Mar 9: 216, Mar 16: 214.6, Mar 23 212.6, Mar 30 214.....My goal…

I have recommitted as well and I have a Fitbit!

Yes...I need support & encouragement!

Hi! I'm from Texas too! Welcome to MFP! I hope someone can answer your question...I have a Fitbit and MFP can link up to Fitbits (but I have never gotten it to work yet).....I wish you the best on your weight loss journey...If you want to be MFP friends, let me know! I always need support & encouragement.

Great job and congrats! Keep it up!

Gymraven.....I know where you are coming from! I have steadily put on weight since my forties....I have bad eating habits that I need to change!

Hi everyone....trying to get myself back on track.....I like that I can communicate to other women over 50...we know about the struggles of losing weight at our age and the aches & pains we have!! I need motivation and support....Please "friend me" if you need a support partner.....I know I need support friends!

ME:0 LNS: 1 1-1

I'm starting this late but I just found this challenge! My biggest problem is late night snacking!!!! for my first night, last night: Me: 1 LNS: 0 My LNS 0 is only because I went to bed early! Otherwise I probably would have eaten something!!

Sian, So many of us are currently in "your shoes" or have been there.....I have been inspired by reading all of the replies to your post. You can do this.....we can do this.....We are all on this journey together and the journey doesn't stop once the weight is lost.....our journey continues because the majority of us must…

I am back as well.....Let's do this!!

this all sounds so much like me! I am on and off....I get so disappointed in myself! I need a support group of folks who understand the ups and downs of this weight loss journey!

I want to do this!

I'm 53 but folks usually think I'm about 40.....no grey in my hair yet....good genes! Thanks Mom and Dad!:smile:

Good for you eappel61! Wish we could see more activity on this thread! it's hard to keep "fit after 50"!

I'm from the Dallas, TX area....and I need a kick in the booty myself to get myself back to exercising. I've been good with my eating and so I have lost a little weight since the holidays...But I need to get off the couch and back to exercising...when it's cold outside I just don't want to do much of anything! But I am…

Former Marine....well, "once a Marine, always a Marine"! My weight came on after getting out and it's been a struggle ever since! Let's be friends! Being a Marine, knowing how we are trained and what's instilled in us through bootcamp and our time in The Corps, it's very hard dealing with being overweight......Semper Fi!

Marine.....(Semper FI fellow Marines!)....when I got out was when my weight started creeping up! It's hard to deal with..Marines are suppose to be "lean, mean, fighting machines!"....but this Marine ain't so lean anymore..:(...but I'm fighting to get back in shape and lose this extra weight.

Great Job! You inspire me! My weight loss is very slow but I will not give up!

Welcome back! I am bad about getting and off MFP myself. This is a good place to be on our journey of weight loss...we always know where to come back too for motivation and support! I wish you all the best! Let's stay on track and on MFP!

I've been in "your shoes"...so many of us that struggle with weight loss do get depressed and unmotivated...but like others have said already...You have taken the first steps by being here and also admitting being depressed and not motivated. You need to some "self-talk"...You can do this....little by little....Get on that…

Married at 19...first child born I was 20 2nd child I was 27 3rd child I was 28 I'm from Texas I am 53 now, and a grandmother

Mesquite, TX (near Dallas)

I can relate to all of you! I am so tired of being overweight....struggling to find the time to exercise and everything else we all deal with on struggling with this weight loss.....We can all do this with the support of each other!!!! One day at a time,one pound at a time....

I do! I'm on a good routine during the work week and then weekends are busy and crazy and I just can't seem to stay focused and on track like I do during the weekdays. It is a huge challenge for me! I don't get totally out of control with my eating but I'm not as good as I shoud be....
