Great work! Congrats on your determination and success!

I would love to join you in this journey - I sent a friend request! :D

Great dedication!!

You can add me as well! I try to be a support for others, and could definitely use encouragement myself!

Thanks for your post and encouragement.

You don't worry about that idiot!! You're doing awesome, and you know it, and that is what matters. One day at a time - and you can do it!! Please friend me if you'd like - I can use all the encouragement I can get.

I'm glad to be your friend if you'd like - I can also use support and encouragement!! You can do this, and I'm proud of you for getting back on track. That's the first step, and the most difficult one.

Thanks for sharing your journey - it is inspirational! I'm sending a friend request, as I, too, can use additional support, and hope to be a support and friend to others. May God bless you as you heal - inside and out. You're doing GREAT!!!!!! :)

I'm older than you (52) and I had lots of trouble with my knees, feet, etc. when I joined a gym a few months ago and began walking on the treadmill. I found that a stationary bike works well for me - they have some at my gym that fit my larger behind!! While I still have some aches and pains, I'm able to persevere, and I'm…

I'm sending friend request, and hope we can encourage each other. I'm 52 and would like to lose about 60 pounds. It's SO very true that it gets more difficult to take off the pounds the older we get. But I'm trying!! Best wishes to you!!

Pretty and healthy girl!!! Congrats!

You are such an inspiration to us all!! Thank you for sharing your story!

You can do this! (Oh, and so can I - I forget that sometimes.) I'm proud of you for getting back on track. I LOVE mfp - it is a huge help to me. Please include me in your community of encouragers!

Wonderful work!! You should be so proud of yourself and your accomplishments. I think the most difficult thing is to keep on keepin' on when you're at a standstill. And you did it!! Congrats!

:flowerforyou: Hi! Although I don't have quite as much left to lose as you, I'm more than twice as old, so I think (?) it's a bit more difficult for me. That said, I struggle ALL THE TIME, and can also use some encouragement. It looks like you're off to a GREAT start, and I'm happy for you. Congrats, and keep up the good…

Sounds wonderful!! Definitely going to try this over the weekend! Thank you!

Congrats to you! I'm sure you've worked very hard for your success! I wish I could say I'm in Onederland! And one of these days, I WILL!

I LOVE honeycrisp apples - but I HATE the cost! I buy one only occasionally - as a treat!! The rest of the time I settle for other types.

You can do this. Believe in yourself & set small goals. It IS really difficult when we see others that are losing weight, and it may seem easy or fast for them. HOWEVER, if they are starving themselves & the weight is coming off too quickly, it will come back on! Eat healthy as a lifestyle change - you're doing great with…

SO proud of you & your dedication to health. I've got another 50 pounds to go. Add me as a friend if you'd like!

Wow - your story moved me to tears! You have shown remarkable courage and strength! I will try to remember you & that strength when my days are tough. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all!!

I'm so proud of you for beginning this new lifestyle! It DOES get easier with time. For now, just go one day at a time. You can do this! Add me as a friend if you'd like. Best wishes!!

I'm a grandma, too - and welcome to MFP. It has definitely helped me stay focused. Best wishes.

I'm sorry you feel so alone. Have you considered checking out a gym, maybe like Curves? The motivation & support from staff and clients there are awesome! There are all ages & sizes of women at Curves. Just a suggestion! Hope you find peace and support.

My 50-something year-old body has this issue from time to time... :( I agree with other posts - I LOVE the fiber one bars - they are yummy, 90 calories, and they WORK! Best wishes to you - and your little one is precious!

So happy for you! Congrats on your accomplishments!

Wow! You're amazing! Congrats and best wishes to you!

I think it took lots of courage to write what you did, and I'm proud of you for that. I think it takes a "one day at a time" mentality - we are addicted to food, just as alcoholics & drug addicts are addicted to their poisons. My suggestion would be to commit to myfitnesspal - but don't tell anyone - for now. Use your…
