We can do this in 2018!! I am a 52 year old mom of three 11, 7, and 3. I work full time and stress constantly, so I have used food as my drug and I want to get healthy this year for my kids. We can do it!!

You are not alone, my friend. Here's to getting back on the wagon!!

is this still an active group? I am doing CIZE and want to share with others who are doing it!!!!

I need more partners so I would like to add you. I also need motivation. Have only been doing this three weeks.

GOALS: -Implement a weight-training plan to supplement the cardio -Lose at least 6 pounds this month (Sep) -Start doing some of the workouts with my kids to be a good role model for them (I am an older mom. At 50, I have three kids ten and under) and I really need to get over the exhaustion excuses and do more activities…

I agree with allaboutthefood. The thing that keeps me vegan is know the suffering I am no longer contributing to. I had been vegetarian for about 22 years before I went vegan 11 years ago when I just could not stand the thought of these baby cows being ripped from their mothers and manhandled and abused at birth. Every…

I am in the same boat. On board with you, sista!! We can do this thing!!

I am 50 and really struggling with no metabolism to speak of!! It is so much harder at this age. Would love to have you as a MFP peer support. You have done fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM A LOT OLDER THAN MOSST PEOPLE ON THIS SITE, BUT WOULD LOVE OTHER ACTIVE FRIENDS BECAUSE I PLAN TO USE THIS TOOL IN MY 50 POUND WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY (sorry about caps!!) :)

I love seeing more vegans on here!! I am struggling trying to lose over 40 pounds so I can start living a healthy life and do more for animals, the planet, and my family. Please add me, anyone, if you are interested. I am a 50-year-old full time working mom of three. I am raising three vegan kids and have been vegetarian…

Hello fellow vegan! So glad to see you here. I am a vegan who loves food and I love to eat a lot, so now I have nearly 40 pounds to loose. I am glad I am not the only vegan on here!!

I juiced for ten days and it was AEWESOME!! I went off the juicing to attend a birthday party out of state, but I am planning to return to it next week. I haven't felt that good in year, and I lost 12 pounds!! (unfortunately, wI did not break the fast right and I ended up putting a lot of the weight back on, but I figure…

I just joined tonight and I work nights. I get off work in ten minutes and it is the end of my shift. That is why I am up so late!!:happy: SO far, I really like this website. Lots of support here I see.

I;m the queen of generic. The only brand name I demand is Starbuck coffee--ate all other brands. I am a coffee snob!! :happy:

I feel so sad reading your story!! :sad: My husband is the opposite. He actually likes me at this bigger size which doesn't give me much motivation to want to change. But I will take that over what you are experiencing any day. As far as divorce, I had a horrible first marriage and gained a ton of weght bc of depression…

I've been vegan for seven years, but not a healthy vegan all the time. II often fall into the pit of too many processed and refined foods and the weight starts to pack on. Right now, I want to lose about 50 pounds and I am just now getting started on this journey--need support!!:happy:

I would love to be added to your friend list. Please add me! I need the support, too!!:flowerforyou:

I did the Insanity workout for three weeks last year and I got incredible results!! It is the hardest workout you will ever try. I got interrupted and stopped doing it (life changes--moving, etc excuses) and now my DVD is in storage until the spring, but, when I get it back, I am going to start doing it again. I highly…

RIGHT ON!!!

I went veg in 1986 while I was in college and read Animal Liberation. I could not stand to read about the slaughter of animals and could hardly believe what I read in those pages. I was horrified and traumatized. I always liked all foods--even the taste of flesh. I went veg ONLY because I hated the cruelty required to…

That is a good idea to pinpoint your weaknesses and then eliminate them gradually from your eating. For me, I really don't have one particular item that messes me up. It's just processed food, in general, that leads me to be triggered to keep eating unhealthy foods. I eat probably 80-90 percent processed foods and very…

One of your mates is my inspiration--Joe Cross. I just watched "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" and I am going to embark on his method of good health. I have ordered a juicing machine which is due to arrive this week. I know it is going to be very hard, but I am looking forward to a change in my life and I am trying to stay…

Please add me, too!! I am a lot older than you, but I do have 50 to lose and I am just starting for this new year. Would love to know others and keep connected with others who are suffering out here with me on htis very difficult journey. My name is Peg and I live in Colorado!
