Hi Everyone! I also have over 100 pounds to lose and could always use additional support and encouragement. I have been at this for 167 days and have taken off 40 pounds so far. Would love to help others along the way with some new friends. Will add you all. We can do this.

Hello ladies! I just ran across this thread for ladies that are 50 and over. I just recently turned 50 and hope you have room for one more here. :) I have been logging on MFP for over 100 days and have dropped 25 pounds so far. I have found out the older you are the slower it comes off which is discouraging at times but I…

You look marvelous! Thank you for sharing your success it gives those of us hope that are still working towards our goal. Applause!!!!

Very inspiring, keep up the great work. I will be watching for updates!

Hi there! I have about the same amount of weight to lose as you. I am 50 years old and have been here over 90 days. Trust me you want to lose it now because as you get older it comes off much much slower. Cut out all fast foods and soda. Make small changes at first and keep adding smaller changes as you go, it all becomes…

Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing!

I'm in. I have a Fitbit flex and sad to say have only hit 10,000 steps one time since I have had it. I have been close several times. Going to push myself this month. Thanks for the discussion forum!

Thank you for sharing your story! My daughter is struggling with PCOS as well and struggles with her weight. I will share your story with her. You are an inspiration to many!

I am like a lot of you, it isn't the water drinking that is the problem it is taking the time to use the restroom, especially at work. My doctor told me the only time your urine should be yellow is in the morning. She also shared that in order for water to become waste (urine) it has to attach to bad cells (sugar, fat,…

Hi everyone! Would love to join in on this encouragement and support group! The more the merrier! I am trying so hard to make this a way of life and not a diet. Slowly adding working out and exercise. SW: 357 CW: 342 GW: 180 I want to get down to 180 and then re-adjust everything. Looking forward to meeting new friends! Jen

Hi there! I am sure there are several people on here that can relate to you and your life story about weight. I know i can. I am going to be 50 next month and have well over 100 pounds to lose. I would love to help encourage you. I have been at this for a little over a month and I can attest that journaling your food…

Hi Linda, I started off needing to lose around 177 pounds and have taken off 15 in the last month and a half. Would love to join your encouragement team. Jen

Way to go, thank you for sharing your progress.

Awesome and inspiring video, thank you for sharing. God Bless, Jen

I am right there with you, needing to lose a whole person and probably a quarter of another one. I have been eating healthy and logging everything I eat, which has helped tremendously. Making me very conscious of what I eat. I just started working out as well. Would love to join your team of motivators and encouragers! You…

You look fantastic and you are an inspiration! I am so looking forward to the day that I can do such a story. One pound at a time. Awesome job!

I am new as well and also tired of being tired. I started out at 357 and am slowly taking it off, 8 pounds so far. The important thing is that we are here and are wanting to become healthy. Looking forward to our journey! Jen

Thank you everyone for the friend requests, words of encouragement and motivation. I am so looking forward to getting to know new people, have fun, and meet goals together. What a blessing this site is! Jen

Hi Mike, I am new here as well, under a month and have been lurking around myself. I started off at 357 pounds and like you have had to take it very slow due to joint, foot and ankle pain. I have made it up to 15 mins on a treadmill and push for an extra minute each day of use. I try to go every other day. I am also…

Hi everyone, I am Jen and I am new here. I have been using MFP on my phone for the last two weeks and have been logging faithfully for the last 14 days. I am committed to this new lifestyle and plan staying with it. I have been obese pretty much all my life and frankly I am tired of it. I turn 50 in less than 2 months and…
