Hi, I am in my 50's and looking to lose about 50 lbs. It's not only body image, but health. I need to be more active and am looking for friends who know what it is like to not have the metabolism we use to :) Feel free to add me! Best of luck to all!

There are some great hints and tips on here for getting back on track. I am starting to use some! Let's keep this moving forward!

Start with something small, like walking and increase your time and pace. Definitely try to find something that you enjoy or semi-enjoy. Once you start incorporating it into your day, you might enjoy it more than you think! Best of luck!!!

Hi there! Unfortunately during the summer I threw caution to the wind, which certainly didn't work, so I and am trying to get back on track as well. Anyone can feel free to add me. Giving support and receiving support is one of the keys to success! Best of luck to everyone trying to get back on track!!!

Welcome back! I know what you mean about routine. If I plan and organize I can be, lets say, just about perfect; however, as soon as something slides out of place it is so easy to fall back into old habits. I am trying to shake the bad summer eating habits and get back on course. Best of luck to you on your journey. Feel…

Hi, Welcome back! I certainly understand -- I have been here for a bit and have had great success; however, fell back to unhealthy eating during the summer. Feel free to add me!

Sorry to hear about your set-backs, but glad to see you have come home to MFP. You know this works and we are all in this together! Best of luck on your new journey!!!

Mini goals might be a good idea. I always have full steam ahead long term goals! Thank you!

I love how you give yourself mini goals at the gym -- 200 cal's before I leave!!! Great idea! Thanks!!

Yes, I do enjoy exercising. When I am at the gym, I absolutely can't get enough and I thoroughly enjoy it. It's getting to the gym that's the tough part right now. Thanks for reminding me how much I enjoy working out!!!

You are certainly in the right place. Everyone you touch here understands the hard work and dedication it takes to make a healthy life style change.

There are so many different forms of exercise. Find something that you enjoy and do it -- dance, play, whatever. I Use to say I didn't like exercise, only because it was easier to just go home. I now stop at the gym on my way home from work and have incorporated it into my day -- I love it! I have so much more energy, and…

Hi there, another emotional binge eater; however, I am in control and have been for over two months. I was so out of control thinking about food every waking minute that one day I just sat there and cried. I hated myself -- the way my body looked, the way my clothing fit and if I kept eating I was going to have to go up a…
