Financial Assistant @ State University. Love it 99% of the time. :wink:

Same boat here only my vice is having a couple beers a 3-4 times a week. Mainly on the weekend, but occasionally my hubby and I will sit on the deck after work and have 1-2 beers before or while supper is being prepared. I have switched to a low calorie beer (64 calories) so that has helped. I thought I would have to give…

The big 50 is January for me. Hoping to reach my goal before then! Started with 30 extra pounds, have lost 11 of them so far. Good luck on your journey, you can do it!

Welcome to MFP! Anyone needing encouragement and giving some in return can fell free to friend me.

Wow, what an accomplishment! Way to go and way to show us all it can be done! Congrats!!!

Bump for later

It sounds like you are worn out physically and emotionally. You need to take some time for yourself and find something to help you relax and reflect. Instead of laying around on your day off, get up and take a walk. It doesn't have to be a power walk (unless you want it to be) but just get out and be by yourself. It would…

Add me too if you like. I am here to encourage and be encouraged to lose weight. Do mainly walking, a little lifting and some ab work. Need to lose, tone, firm etc...:happy:

I just stumbled across (and joined) this group today. I am 49 and think I was in denial of the fact that age is catching up with me, along with all the lovely events that come with it. Aunty Flo still visits me regularly and I am not absolutely certain that I have entered the menopausal stage. But I have noticed that I do…

I log as I can throughout the day. Can't plan ahead, things never seem to go as planned! :smile:

Welcome to MFP, feel free to add me.

My brother in law answers by saying "Hell no" instead of Hello. :-)

We can all use friends and encouragement along the way. Sending a friend request.

Too funny!

Feel free to add me, I try to be supportive and give encouragement. Always looking for new friends!

Feel free to add me, I love to give encouragement and get some back!

Wow, excellent results! You are an inspiration to the rest of us and proof that hard work does make a difference. I start and then stop 30DS, I really need to make myself stick to it! WTG girl, looking great!

Wow, I had no clue! I usually have a fat free yogurt for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Guess I am doing this all wrong. I'm sure there are plenty of websites that could help me learn more about nutrition, I just don't have time to "surf' the web to look for them. I am not a label reader either, I will have to up my…

Good advice for newbies. I'm fairly new here also, less then 2 months and still learning :-) I have learned a lot from these msg boards/forums and appreciate all the help and encouragement I see on here.

We really need a LIKE button, or better yet a LOVE button! Great words to live by, we are all special in our own way.

You look great, an inspiration to the rest of us!

Great job, you look fantastic! Keep up the good work, it looks great on you!!!

Too funny! MFP needs a "like" button!

I work the same schedule and try to get in an hour of working out before I go to bed. I do 30 minutes on my Gazelle and then some Kettlebell work along with sit-ups etc on the exercise ball. I live out in the country so I can't turn around and head back to the gym in the evenings after getting home. Feel free to add me,…

Welcome aboard, feel free to add me too!:smile:

Feel free to add me as a friend, we all need all the help and encouragement we can get! I'm new on here (1 month) and still learning the ropes.:happy:

Getting old beats the alternative! I will be 50 in January and some days I feel like I'm 20, some days I feel like I'm 80...usually after a day of acting like I'm 20. LOL Age is just a number, live life as if each day is your last...some day it will be! :flowerforyou:
