Need to lose 70lbs. I am finally serious about this. Am over 50 so need people I can identify with. Hope to hear from you.

Me too. Need to lose 40 lbs. It was 30 lbs last June but keeps piling on. Time to get serious.

I'm sure you already know this, but I try not to think about the total loss and just focus on 5 pounds at a time. 40 sounded like an impossible task, but I knew I could do 5 pounds!! Positive self-talk is very helpful, too, for me at least!! Good luck!!

That does help. I'm focusing on dropping a size at a time, not really the weight.

I find that focusing on the result doesn't get the job done. I need to focus on what goes in my mouth and being consistent with exercise. Turning over a new leaf here...

Good for you JLT! We're all different so different things work for all of us. I didn't gain over the Turkey Day weekend, I actually lost, so I'm feeling great!! I know for me, every pound lost just makes me stay on track!!

Hello everyone. It was a wakeup call to realize which group I belonged in. I've been over 50 for a year and a half and I still can't make it seem real to myself. I've just lost a little over 50 pounds but I have a lot more to lose. So I'll be around for awhile.

I'm new here too, and I also need to lose 70 lbs. I find the older I get the harder it is to come off. But, I really need to get this weight off! I need all the help I can get. I also will be around for awhile.

I'm new, and encouraged by what I see so far. I used to know how to lose weight, and then I reached 50. Now, I seem to need a new plan because the old one doesn't work anymore. Eat less, move more ... just doesn't seem to be enough. Anyone got any tips?
