Yeah!!! Congrats!! You look awesome!

All the answers have been great! Suggest family time for fun fitness stuff, take the kids to a park and let them have fun and run around with them or all walk together. Maybe you take the kids out and just tell her she deserves some alone time to DO NOTHING but focus on herself; not to clean house or catch up on laundry,…

51 years young here! Time for me to lose this weight for good that has been coming off and going back on for years. I believe I have lost the same 20# over and over and gained it back once again. NO MORE!!:happy:

Lincolnton, NC here

any way possible! Love avacados! Really good on a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion or on a BLT. In a fruit salad it gives it a creamy, buttery taste, especially with mango, strawberries and pineapple. Ok, so now I really want some!! lol

5'10" and 186 lbs. right now. Trying to get back to 165. Eating 1200 cals/day and exercising. Want to lose the weight by June for daughter's HS grad.

Yellow lab, Maggie who is my walking buddy. She is so happy when I get home from work; nothing better than that unconditional love!! 2 cats too: Evie (Evinrude, cos she purrs like a motor!) a calico and Kia (Perovskia- Russian Sage) a Russian Blue.

I can totally relate! Hypothyroid and peri menopausal here too. I am on meds for the thyroid and have been for the past 20 years. Weight loss is slow, but you can do it!! It will stay off if it is lost slowly, as opposed to quickly. I have lost and gained back the same 20 lbs over and over, but I'm determined this time to…

YEAH!!!! The first pound is on your way to renewing your life! Divorce stinks - been through an awful one 5 years ago, and it will get better! Just stay strong and keep doing what you're doing for Kim. It's time for YOU now!

You go girl!! I'm Judy, 51 years young and live in Lincolnton, NC. I am here to stay accountable and lose about 20 or so lbs. The same 20 lbs that I've gained and lost over and over since I had kids (they are 22 and 18!) I want it off for good! Comfort foods!!! They are the bane of my existence! I love all the sweet and…

Me too! 5'10" and 185 lbs. Want to lose 20 lbs or maybe a little more. You and I can both do this! Just stay accountable and keep your goal in sight. Before long, we will weigh what we want to weigh!

Hi to all! I'm Judy from NC, I work in the local schools as a child nutrition manager. I'm 51 and have 2 children (22 and 18). I just began MFP about a week ago at the urging of a co-worker and so far I love it! I have about 20 lbs. to lose and the food counter here makes it easy to keep track of all the things I eat and…

If you have kids and want a great family vacation, both of the FDR resorts are awesome!

Hi, I'm Judy! I'll be 52 years young in July and I want to lose about 20-25 lbs and get back in shape. I have found that the older I become, the more difficult it is to lose weight. but, I'm not going to give up this time!!

Welcome!! I just joined a few days ago and the foods section where you can type in what you ate and find out the cals. is great! Quick and easy and it calculates cals for you! Don't be afraid of failing! We are all here for the same purpose; to get back in shape, lose weight and improve the quality of our lives. We'll get…

Hi! I'm 5'10", Mom of 2 children: 22 and 18 yrs. 51 years young! CW:185 GW:165

Yep, me too! Have been hypo for around 19 years. Weight loss is extremely challenging, even though Dr. says my hypothyroidism is corrected by my meds. I had been on the same dosage since the beginning, but in June he reduced my meds to "try to make the thyroid work harder". I have gained 20 lbs since June and have been…
