Thanks for the intro! I can relate, and also know that you can do it!!! Sometimes the small number of pounds at the end is the hardest, but having a reasonable timeframe will help you be successful! A pound a week is do-able and needs to be seen as progress in the right direction. A pound is a deficit of 500 calories a day from what you're doing now. A 500 calorie reduction isn't much for most. You can do it!!!

Way to go and welcome!

Hi to all , Today is the first day on this journey. 20 pounds I would like to lose by the end of the year sooner if possible. Trying to get started. did Zumba and logged food and water so far today. I am 60 years old and have been married for 41 years. have 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Love to dance and to travel. Want to finish what I started. I lost 120 pounds and have gained back 20. I NEED to get those 20 pounds back off. It is so much harder this time around. Being older and the metabolism is not working as well as it should.

current weight: 142.0
