Hello everyone, I am 63 years old and I need to get serious. I have been on MFP since July 2012 but I was only serious about it for the first six months. I lost 20 lbs. but when my weight loss stalled I became frustrated and didn't stick with it. I keep playing at it but every few days I seem to give up and eat what I…

Thanks for sharing your very inspirational story. You have a wonderful attitude about the journey!

I'm in. I really need the accountability to get kick started again!

Very inspirational! Thank you for sharing. I hope many are encouraged to change their life the way you did!

Diana, you know I am interested in hearing these answers. I have been so frustrated with this plateau. I am bumping to come back and read more.

Tausha, that is one of the reasons I began this weight loss journey. My blood sugars are now down in the normal range. My husband is diabetic, although very slender. I went through all of His classes and learned that even a 10 pound loss can help. You just need to keep logging faithfully stay at your goal and it will…

Thank you for being so honest and willing to share your story. You look wonderful! You should be very proud of what you've accomplished! It breaks my heart to hear you put yourself down so and have such little self confidence when you should have so much to be proud of. I hope the fact that you're having so much…

Hi, I am Renee. I will be 60 years old this month ( I just can't believe it!). I tried for 10 years to lose weight with a low carb method but I could never stick with it. For 5 years I added going to the gym 4 or 5 days a week and still no results. When I joined MFP I couldn't believe how much more I was eating, even at my…

I really needed to read this thread today. I recently increased my calories and I need this encouragement to stick with it. I was one of those people that tried the low carb plan without success. For 10 years I was not eating enough calories. Five years ago I began regularly going to the gym and making the situation worse…

Yes, but not for long! We are both 5'7". When we married 21 years ago he weighed more than me. I have 27 lbs. to go to reach my goal.but only 22 to weigh less than my husband! I will also be in the Normal range.

Congratulations! You will be happy that you learned how to control your weight at a young age!

I've lost an average 2 year old. I'm usually very careful with children :)

Yes we did!

Thanks for the time spent on helping us. I probably would not have lost during the holidays without the accountability. Good luck to all of you on your journey!

Wow! You have done a fantastic job! Congratulations!

I would like to join in the 1 -5 lbs. group! I've been in two challenge groups that fizzled out before they were finished. I'm looking forward to one that actually lasts until New Years! Renee

I never wanted to spend a lot of time thinking about food. MFP has changed that for me. I now think about it, because I'm logging it, but in a good way. I feel empowered to have control of what is happening to my body. I don't deprive myself anything, but I do have choices to make to make room for treats. It has become…

What an accomplishment! You should be very proud!

Read the Success Stories. Nothing is more motivational than to read how people like you and I have been successful!

Where is everyone? I lost .4 lbs. this week. Not a lot but it is in the right direction. It has been slow for the past couple of months so I have changed my settings to lose 1.5 lbs a week. It has cut my calories by 140 per day. I hope it helps. Have a great week!
