    Hi all. I,m 48F, 2 kids, PT work, lost 49 pounds so far, 35 to onderland. Trying to stay around the 1200calorie mark and get some sort of exercise each day, whether it be mostly walking but sometimes swimming and low impact cardio. I need to get this off once and for all and I,m the only one who can do this for me. Looking for some more friends here, I am regularily on MFP, logging food and exercise each day, looking to have and give motivation and support. Feel free to add me.

    Been on before and back again. Been 23 days now and back on MFP for 18 days. I'm a Mom of 3 - 5, 10 and 13, work full time and well you know how it goes. Looking to connect with more for support. I'm here to help and willing to give it. Join me on my journey and I'll join you on yours. I'm doing this for myself and no one else. I've got 50lbs to go and I'm down 6.4 as of today. Look forward to this year! Let the <3 begin!

    Hi! Big year ahead. Turning 44, kids graduation, cancun vacation, wedding with a group of super fit people. I want to like howi feel & my photos. Current 5'7", weight 186, looking for 160/155. Absolutely obtainable. I have always toyed with MFP but need to stay focused for the next 104 days and beyond. I need food guidance with easy to prepare family friendly meals, and accountability & motivation. I enjoyed all posts and they helped me this morning. ..keep them coming!

    I am also 44, mom of three active boys. I work full time and try to juggle a home and happy life :). I never had much trouble keeping a low weight, as my metabolism was always high. This last year however, things have changed. Having a tough time here. Maybe we can help support each other. I just joined here and for the life of me, cannot find the "add a friend" button. Do you mind adding me? I will keep trying to feel my way around here. Looking forward to connecting with like minded friends

    Hi I am 40 hope that's close enough! I have 4 children the ages of 21, 19, 16 and 12! I have been down this road before where I weighed 211lbs and got down to 155lbs. I kept that weight for awhile then got lazy and comfortable again. I gained back to 191 lbs and have lost 8 lbs so far. I get lazy during the winter and work hard during the summer. I had always been skinny all my life until I hit 30 and that's when all my weight problems began. So for 2 out of 10 years with me being 40 now I was skinny and the 8 years I have been overweight. I hate being over weight and out of shape! I defiantly know that when I'm over weight I'm short of breath climbing stairs or anything with real exercise. But as I loose weight that gets better and better. I work in cardiology so I know and see on a daily basis of what being overweight does to your body as a whole. I think to be a good example for my patients I need to be fit myself so when I educate them on the fact that being overweight can cause serious health problems I don't look like a hypocrite!

    Hello, just learning how to navigate through this app. I am 44 and mother of three, 22, 20, and 17. I too find that the older I get the harder it is to stay fit and lose weight. I find I can try hard and lose maybe 5 pounds and one weekend gain it all back. My daughter is getting married this summer, which is a huge insentive for me to get toned and lose some weight. Been 12 days on this app and been using Jullian Micheals Body Revolution DVDs which I love!
