Yes!!! I’m starting over today 05/27/19. I have got to lose weight. I will be going on vacation in June and can’t let that be an excuse not to start. I have to make a lifestyle change, which is to eat clean, exercise and stay motivated!

Thank you all for great feedback!

Great job! You look great and I bet you feel fabulous!!!

Good for you! Awesome on losing the 23 lbs!!!! Take it one day at a time! Welcome back!

I will be 50 on April 1st.

Diet and exercise. That's it. Walk, run, elliptical, treadmill, swimming, aerobics, any cardio exercise that going to get your heart pumping for a good 20 to 30 minutes. The core exercises help with strengthening muscles in stomach and you have to lose the fat first to notice. I think you all ready know what you have to…

I will eat a PB sandwich as a meal with a cup of skim milk. I use the Nature Own Wheat bread 50 cal a slice and one tablespoon PB with Welches grape jelly. These are the brands I use. The bread is real important though because its 100% wheat bread (no bleached flour) and only 50 calories a slice. Its the only bread I use.…

People aren't applying for a job on here. So what, some don't spell well. There may be a reason. They just want to lose weight like the rest of us not for you to correct their grammar. You probably right about jobs, but jobs discriminate against fat people too. If you don't understand them just move on. Good grief!

Wow, you look great!

Hey there. I looked at your diary back a few days and you skipped lunch and snack a day here and there. You need to eat at least every 3 to 4 hours. You also are exercising a lot which is great, but you need to up those calories up. Good luck!

Go buy your own snacks and foods you like to eat. Contribute to the meal and your mother might like some of foods you come up with being that she also goes to the gym. Keep them out of sight whatever it is she buys. Surely she's not buying Twinkies or something, LOL. Do you have siblings in the house too? You will need…

Natalie: Why don't you fill out your profile and maybe people can take you more serious.

OMG! You look great!!!!!

You are not eating enough.

Once a week in the morning.

A loss is a loss. Good for you! Keep up in the good work!

OMG! Stay away from McDonalds!

I am 49 woman and will be 50 in April. Totally understand! Would love it if you add me as a friend!

I did it for a bit. It got too complicated with the new program and I can get the same support here on MFP for free that I did there. Its a good program I suppose if you want to continue going by points When I found out about this, I cancelled. I am doing great here.

You don't need to be on an extreme diet. Be positive! You are being realistic because your are right, you cannot survive on an extreme diet! Don't say diet. Its healthy eating. You need to try to change your eating habits first. Follow the MFP, fill in all your meals. Eat three meals and your snacks. Figure out your cals…

I would continue to weigh at least once a week. Just continue doing what you are doing. Watch your sodium something we all need to do anyway! You never know, it might not affect you in that way anyway. Great job on an 80 pound loss!!! :smile:

I am 49 years old at 5'9" tall and need to lose 36 pounds. I am concentrating mostly on losing a few pounds, but want to get into weight training or strength training along with it. You might want to concentrate on that more building more muscle and take measurements as your weight may go up, but you would be building more…
