Hi everyone! I'm Dani, and I just turned 49 last month. 2022 has a lot of upcoming changes for me--I'm finishing up classes to make a career change, so will be starting a new path soon! Once I get the new job, I'm hoping to start planning to do some remodeling and updating in my house, so need to get my life and finances…

Ok here we go! I am 48, 5'3" and I really don't want to be fat at 50, so I need to get my butt in gear and get the weight off! My goals are simple--Eat Less, Move More! I try to remind myself every day that I am worth the work it takes to get healthy and fit. I recently started trying to follow a Mediterranean diet--move…

Hello Everyone! I'm Dani, 48 years old, 5'3", divorced mom of 2 almost adult kids, and I have decided that I want to be "Fit By 50"! Starting Weight: 222lbs Goal for May: lose 1-2lbs/week (if more falls off, so be it!) Ultimate Goal Weight: 125lbs My daily goals are to drink more water, move more, and to be more mindful of…

HI everyone, I know that April is almost over, so I'm just going to jump in where I am and be SO READY to start fresh with you in May! My current weight is 218, my goal weight is 130-ish, and my first small goal is to just get below 200lbs!

I can totally relate. I eat when I'm bored, or stressed, or whenever! I have all good intentions when I wake up every day--drink more water, eat less, move my *kitten* more, be more mindful and purposeful of what I am putting into my body to fuel my day--but I still find myself grazing all day on junk or just overeating in…

I totally can relate. I have all good intentions when I wake up in the morning--limit snacking, make good healthy food choices, drink a lot of water, get up and move my *kitten* during the day--but then I find myself grazing on snacks through the day and eating whatever I feel like. I KNOW what I need to do, but I need to…

I am trying to find my motivation again. I was down 12lbs, and a few have crept back in. I am starting from today (again), so my mini goal is to lose 10. Then I just need to do that 8 more times, and I'm at my goal! :)

I weigh daily because it really does help keep me motivated. If I only do it once a week, then I tend to slack off for half the week and then panic/starve/workout like crazy the couple of days before the weigh-in. If I do it daily, it helps keep me on track every day.

Excellent! I have 16lbs to go until I hit ONEderland. I can't wait to not see a 2-something when I get on the scale!

I want to just stay on track and keep doing what I'm doing. Every day my mini goals are to eat better, eat less, move more. Drink more water. If I can keep it up and stay on track through the holidays, I will be in ONEderland by Jan 1. Fingers crossed!

I've been dealing with some rough stuff in my personal life, and as a result, haven't been logging, have been eating like crap, and hardly exercising. Thankfully things are getting back to normal. Hope everyone has a great week!

Good morning friends. I have been a slacker--had a rough couple of weeks personally, and ate too much and was lazy too much, but things are back to normal now. Hope everyone has a great week!

Good morning! Hope everyone has a great day today!

Bleh--yesterday I ate all the things. The scale screamed at me this morning. Going to drink a metric butt-load of water today, get some exercise tonight and fingers crossed for tomorrow.

UGH--Had a crap day yesterday and ate some feelings. The scale went back up today, and damn it was ugly. Today's a new day, right?

I'm in--A bit late, but still plenty of time! Starting weight:224 (as of 1/1/20) Goal weight: 174 by the end of 2020 Current weight: 217 Total weight lost: 7lbs This week's successes: Started logging food consistently and didn't snack as much, drank more water. This week's challenges: Yesterday had way too many tacos and…

Sounds like everyone is doing something productive and/or fun this weekend! I spent about 90 minutes at the gym, then came home and got to work on a paper for my class. My big Friday night is laundry and studying--this sucks! :)

My big Friday night is laundry, and working on papers for my class. Whoop-dee-do! I'm living the rockstar life here!

Happy Friday! Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

Happy Friday! Anyone have any fun plans this weekend?

I fully support petty revenge as a motivator! I'm of the same mind--the wedding I'm going to in October? Ex-hubby will be there too, and I want to be a damn BOMBSHELL in my dress on the arm of my handsome new fella. :smile:

Congrats! That's a great accomplishment! Keep up the good work! My "shoot for" goal for 2020 is to lose 75 lbs, more if I can manage it, but my "settle for" goal is 1lb/week. Feel free to add me and let's kick 2020's butt!

Hi, I'm Dani. 47 years old and I have been over 200lbs for years. I would love to be a part of this group. I have so many reasons for wanting to get down to my goal weight! I want to be healthy and strong. Right now I get winded walking up the stairs sometimes and I know that my BP is high and I'd like to avoid having to…

Hey all, I'm Dani. I am 47, and a former healthy person. I know what I need to do to be healthy and lose weight--it's the follow through and motivation that gets me every time! Feel free to add me. I need all the help I can get!

Wilmington, DE!

Hi, I just found this thread. I'm Dani, 47 years old and tired of being fat, so decided to finally get serious and do something about it. I'm keeping things simple. Drink more water, eat less garbage, move my butt more, go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and stop mindless boredom eating! I'm 218lbs, and my ultimate goal is…
