I am turning 50..yep FIFTY in fifty-one days. I don't think I am going to make my birthday goal, but as long as I am working downwards I am fine with that. I can't believe I am fifty though...just practising saying that I AM FIFTY. My maturity level tends to hover about oh 35 years younger though LOL
I just turned 22 on July 29th. Reading this thread reminds me that I'm still one of the babies around here!
I looked on my profile and realized I have been a member of this site for 3 years, 5 months, and 22 days. And I actually weigh MORE than when I first tried to lose weight the healthy way (via Weight Watchers). I always sabotage myself in some way. But I come on here and there is always someone to give me hope that I will succeed. Hopefully another birthday won't pass with me in my current state.
I was 18 when I joined this site and even then I wished that I had started earlier!
I turn 40 in about two weeks. It's the official beginning of what I call "JoAnne 2.0". There's so much I haven't done in my life because I've always been overweight. Well, not anymore. I'm getting rid of the weight, then I'm living the rest of my life on my terms, doing exactly what I want!!
35. But I keep telling my kids I am 25. The tend to share with all the other parents my age. And many around here(my community) started young so I am the old mom with grey hair and they are still 25 and get to go out Sat nights for a party. I havent figured that part out since we are always struggling to find a babysitter!
I turned 22 back in June. But if you ask my fiance Im more like a 3 year old. I hope to stay forever young in my heart. And so far I have. I know Im not really old yet but I want to keep that childlike happiness and enthusiasm.
Pandora I know what you mean about the wrinkles filling in....I have always been seen as younger than I am but even with a few pounds lost I see the wrinkles starting (I tend to lose weight in my face first).....I'll be 60 in October and have lost large amounts of weight before, the last time being almost 20 years ago....
26 years old *sigh*
Started on the healthier road jan 07 a month before my 25th bday.
Still wished I'd started years ago though... ahhh regret you little gem
EDIT: Dagnamit where's my ticker disappeared to! I know I'm intermittent with posting but argh lol I feel a bit naked without it
