What has worked for me (besides just being here on MFP) is being active. Just as others have already noted, I have made it my goal to walk EVERY day whether it means an extra circuit around the park with my dog or a jog around the park while hubby and dog play or a walk at home DVD or walking around the block on my lunch…

I'll be 49 on the 28th of this month! One year away from the half-century mark. :ohwell:

Happy Birthday to you, too! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile:

Happy Birthday! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

Oh my...reading what everyone else is doing makes me feel like I need to do more! But I'm going to keep to my modest plans and just try and add an evening workout if I can, rather than set myself up for failure. So here's my schedule: Monday: AM Leslie Sansone 2-mile walk/PM Debbie Rocker Walk Video (45 min) Tuesday: AM LS…

I'm almost into 50s and fabulous (one year and 25 days from the big 5-0), but feel free to add me! My goal is to be at a healthy weight while still in my 40s! :wink:

Hello all, So glad to be a part of this amazing group! I have loved your introductions. I will be 49 in a few weeks, have been on MFP since August and my current weight is 187. My ultimate goal weight is about 130, although like others, I will re-evaluate when I get closer to goal. For this challenge, I have three goals:…

I wasn't part of your first 50 days, but may I join you for the second 50? My goals would be 1) to be more consistent with exercise (thinking about changing my schedule to accomodate a morning workout), 2) to plan better for the day so I don't snack on the wrong foods at work, and 3) to lose 10-15 lbs! Please let me join!…

Fantastic job! Congratulations! And, by the way, you are ROCKIN' that dress! You look beautiful, confident and happy!

Not that I particularly care, but am I the only one who not only has NEVER watched Dr. Oz, but also has no idea what he says that we should not be listening to? No need to enlighten me. Just find it fascinating that so many people know people who watch that stuff.

I vote long (just above knee) with really amazing heels! It's sexy and looks fabulous on you! Now go find the right shoes! :)

Bravo! Thanks for the reminder that no matter what the obstacles, we choose to take action or make excuses. Awesome accomplishment. You look absolutely fabulous!

You look fantastic! Congrats!

I found some great songs on this list: http://www.npr.org/2012/01/13/145185920/the-ultimate-npr-workout-mix

Congratulations! What an accomplishment! You look GREAT! Keep up the good work!

AWESOME! and you probably gave the sales lady a story she can share for a long time! Great NSV...you totally deserve it! Thanks for the inspiration. I started at a 24, too. I hope someday to have similar results!

YES! As others have said, you need to just do this for you. You deserve to be happy and proud of what you have accomplished. That being said, I totally understand what it's like to have others mock you, especially family. We all want support and encouragement from our family members and loved ones; when they are…

Welcome back! Glad that you are concentrating on you because you deserve it! One day, one step at a time. You know how to do this because you've done it before! :) Friend request sent.

If that's an NSV fail, then I want to FAIL, too! Great job! Agreed that it sucks you can't wear the bikini, but just think how much fun shopping will be! CONGRATS...great job! You have every right to be proud of your success! Flaunt it in the new bikini you purchase!

I love that you are taking one step at a time and that you are now doing this for you! Your husband and you both need to do this for yourselves as well as so that you can have a long and happy life together! Feel free to send me a friend request; I'd be happy to support you on this journey!

College app season...I say give yourself a break until the end of the month! You've already done an AMAZING job, so you know how to do this and how to take care of yourself. But sometimes, taking care of yourself means being kind to yourself. Do the little things to keep yourself reasonably in check as others have said,…
