Hi Kristina! I am no where near college, I am in my early 50's and lost 40 a few years ago, and gained it back. Its so much harder this time!

I'm with you! I lost over 40 in 2011 and now its all back - time to do this again!

I'm with you! Let' do this :)

Good morning everyone, I've been gone from here for a while, but I am back with all new motivation! A little background - I am divorced, have one teen that still lives with me. I went through a nasty break up 2 years ago, and it just sent me into a funk. I'm excited to be back on here and highly motivated. Looking forward…

Hi Ladies! I am back after being gone for a few years and with new motivation! I lost the bf that was making me crazy, and it literally has taken me almost a year to find myself. Not a good thing for a single mother of 2 teens. Anyway, I have quit drinking and need to gt exercising, as in 24 days I will be in San Francisco…

I started it several times and NEVER got past L1D5 - I hope with support and motivation from this group I can at least get to L2 this time!

I don't really fit your parameters, but friend me if you want - I want to lose about 40 pounds, and a lot of it is health related...okay realistically 50/50, I know I need to lose to be healthy but a lot of it is vanity. I'm 50 (ugh) and on here just about every day, you can pm me or talk on the boards. I'm totally with…

Me too - so I started making wine cocktails, 2/3 sparkling water and 1/3 wine. Saves on the budget too!

Just for today: I'm putting ME first!

That's awesome - Congratulations!!!!

Hey, we have a great group of over 50 ladies, y'all should joini us, its the "50 plus and growing better challenge"

What app are yiou using? OP, I weigh ervery day, and was frustrated because my scale jumped 5 pounds over what I weighed last Tuesday. But we just have to keep at ir, its balanced by the days where I weigh less than I think I should, Hang in there!

Thank you for sharing your story.

Anyone can add me - I just turned 50 and need to lose 40 pounds. At my highest I was over 212 pounds, now I'm at 179 and still workinig on it. I am on every day.

I bought the dvd but haven;t even lookeda at it yet - what does it involve?

That was amazing, and so inspring! Thank you for that. I wish it could be required reading for everyone struggling both ways. The goal is just to be healthy and happy.

Exactly! OP, you have my support!

I probably need to buy osme work clothes, because the ones I;m wearing are now too big, and I think its making me feel thinner than I really am! I need to get some that will be a little tight so I can keep progresssing

I wamt to be 140 by the end of October. Giving up is not an option! Even on zero weight loss weeks!

I stopped losing weight when I started running, but I could see a big difference in how I looked, Keep at it, your body will catch up, and mentally its great !

what is "NSV"?

Great post!!!!

I'm trying to lose 40 - when I lost weight before, I did what you did, got halfway and kind of stopped, and then let the weight creep back on. This time I have created a spreadsheet with where I want to be each week, and also the dates so I can see my progress to the goal. I beleive this is going to be very effecyive at…

I hope everything is going better for you now.

LOL!!!!

I knew I needed and sort of half attempted, but then my BF had a health scare and lost 40 pounds, making him weigh less then me! Plus, we are both over 50, and we want to be healthy together. So I am very serious about it now. When I get frustrated, he motivates me.

Don't give up! You hit 210, and you will see 209 if you stick with what got 14 pounds off. You can do it!!!!

Every day, and I have a spreadsheet that I use to track and also have weekly goals for the nexxt 6 months on it.

If he only quit smoking in February, he needs to stay focussed on not picking that habit up again. Give him a dew months of not being a smoker and hopefully, when he is feeling better/healthier because of that, he will decide to make other changes. My BF quit smoking oafter years of it and gained 30 pounds. He wasn't going…

My favorite!!!
