To all PT Diet Buddies folks, and anyone new who may want to join

I just joined too, but I'm wondering if a 50 year old can loose weight? I took a look at some of the before pictures and all these young ladies looked good to me, I know one thing it is hard for us older people to loose the weight. Really nice looking website, like I said you are a very talented young woman.
Haven't posted anything yet, I will try and post tomorrow.

Of course a 50 year old can lose weight! My mom lost 25 pounds in the last 6 months. She's not 50, but not that big of a difference. Sure its much harder than it would be for say a 21 year old, but you can, with determination, and with working hard.

Trayi, having lost weight at 50, yes you can. Having subsequently gained it back and now that I'm speeding toward 60 and trying to do it again, I have to say it gets even harder. Trust me and do it now. I'm over at the other board but haven't posted recently, obviously because I haven't made much progress. It will really be nice to have someone in their *mature years* over there with me. I'm not going to give up.

Thanks Rachel.
I guess we can try together, everybody over there are so young looking and pretty. I will try not to give up and be over there shortly. Thanks for your encouragement.

Can I join? I really don't need to lose weight but I really, and I mean, really need to get in shape! The other day I went to run and I just ran up and down this little strip twice and the next day I ached so bad. I was really sad because that means I am really out of shape. I already eat healthy, I just need to exercise. And that's where I really need support, I need someone to yell at me everyday lol so I can get up and do things. I have my Tae Bo tape here but I don't use it often. Can you fellow PT'ers help me?


I want to build muscle and get toned, especially in my tummy area. After having a baby it's just not the same, hehe. Next month I am going to California to visit my family so I want to look a little healthier.

I know, that was my sentiment exactly!

Well, that does it. I've just got to join now. Something got to chance and only I have the power to do it. I'm in folks.

Shoot: I registered but the password is being sent to my home email address. Will have to get it tonight.

I'm hoping for lots of support. I've got a lot to lose and I need a good kick in the butt to get started.

Thanks PCB.

Just thought I should bump this up. Does everyone that joined want to get back to this? It was really helpful. Personally, I'm still working out........still on track......just not posting there as no one else is.

If everyone else wants to get back to this, I'm ready.

I've been checking the site every few days, but there have been no entries since Jan. 14th. Maybe everyone is waiting for you, Popcornbird?

I seem to have given up on you guys, haven't I? I just haven't had much to talk about in the ways of dieting and such lol.

[catnapper]

Oh this is exactly what i need! I forced myself out of bed this morning to walk the dog, and it'll help to have others to talk with.

*leaves to sign up*

Not only you.........all of us! I haven't posted there in months! We need to get back to it. I'm off there right now.

You have done a great job, popcornbird! The site looks great.
I am obssessed with my weight and count everysingle thing that goes into my mouth, keep a journal of what I eat, work out everyday, run and walk with Drake multiple times a day. I am in good shape, but it is an obssession

[cubby31682]

I have posted there a few times but then I stopped because I noticed that I was the only one using it. I will be right back into it though.
