    New here......

    hi there,
    I'm Mimi and I live in NJ. I've tried every plan there is to lose weight and have never made it very far. In fact, I always seem to regain anything lost, plus some. So here I am, trying something new...AGAIN!! I'm hoping for the best and so appreciate all the good info. (and good people!!) on this site. I feel like this time could be different. For one thing I'm 55 years old so it's really TIME to get it together!! So I am hoping for the best....I need to lose at least 50 pounds...have been at this for about a month now and have lost about 9 lbs. In fact, for the past week or so, I keep gaining and losing the same pound over and over again...!! Waiting to make it an "even 10"!! I look forward to speaking with you all again!
    Thanks, Mimi

      thanks so much for responding to my post....!! One day at a time, I guess!!! It's crazy how I want it to all be DONE (ie: at goal) IMMEDIATELY when in fact it took me years to "attain" (hahah!) this weight! Patience is not one of my best virtues....!!!

        Mimi...I can't image there is one person on here who doesn't want results faster than what we get, so you are in good company hon!

        You are so right, it took awhile to put this weight on so it will take longer to get it off. Funny how unfair that is. One can gain 10lbs in a week (well I can) and to lose that same 10lbs can take me forever, as evidenced in my signature!

        But, this is my Way Of Life now, so I just push through, struggle, get frustrated, find my way back and start again and again and again. I'll get there!

        Happy to have met you! There aren't a lot of us more mature (50+) ladies on the board...some but not too too many. Although I'm 50, I don't feel a day over 30 and I can attribute a lot of that to low carbing!

        's you and have a great day! xo Kath

            hi Hippocampus!!
            Many thanks for your reply. You're right...every pound in the OTHER direction is worthwhile. I am just so TIRED of spending so much energy lamenting about my weight, hiding my weight, feeling hindered by my weight. It's never been together for years...so this is a new chance to try yet again!!
            I appreciate your writing me!!!
            Thanks again, Mimi
