    I am struggling with weight now that I am 39!
    I need some accountability with eating. My workouts get done but lately too much coffee with creamer and grains ( bad ones) have been my best friend. It is cold and I am stress so I seek them. I need help and a place to report daily!!
    I use Garmen tracker to track activity!!!
    Any accountability partners here!! Seeking a lady who is where I am!

    I understand how you feel , coffee is a sort of comfort beverage. I had to break my craving for my coffee. You need an accountability partner , I'll help any way I can :)

    You can send a friend request if you like it's easier to work on fitness goals with others than try it on your own.

    I'm 47, and have about 13lbs to lose. For once in my life I'd like to get to my goal and stay there! I've lost the weight before and enjoyed being able to wear anything I want, but I relax too much and slowly but surely the weight goes back up.

    Anyway, I'm determined this time to enjoy a healthy new figure and stay active in MFP for good.

    Anyone can feel free to add me! :smile:

    I am 34, work full time and am a mom of two kids (4 and 6)...would love some accountability buddies! Have been trying Intermittent Fasting (16/8 - where you don't eat from about 8pm until noon the following day), and that appeals mentally because it reduces the time I focus on food choices and helps make me less obsessive with food. Hoping to lose about 10 lbs. and keep it off...no timeline but it would be great to get it off by "bathing suit season" and keep it off for the rest of the year.

    48, 3 grown up kids, I lost my weight (exercise, sensible calories and eating 6 times a day protein based meals) and maintained so far for over a year (after 25 years of fail I might add) Now want to increase muscle and lose body fat (tone) I have learnt a lot the last 2 years. Trying to give up sugar and cut dairy and coffee, carb cycling and relatively clean eating. I lift weights 4 times a week. I am a google addict and am learning new stuff every day. Tonight I discovered I am an esomorph and need to do more cardio, yuk. I am always happy to have new friends feel free to add.

    I'm new, too, going through some tough times with sick loved ones. I'm 5'6" and recently saw my weight jump to 155 for the first time in my 60 years!! I've NEVER had a weight problem, not even after 4 pregnancies... What has menopause done to me??? I've lost 4 pounds rather easily using MFP, but I need to lose another 15 or so. Stay with me, friends!!

    I'm in! I am also 39 and a new mommy. I gave birth last August and although I've lost most of the weight I do need to lose about 10 more pounds. I am flabby/lack tone and frankly not very healthy at all. I like sugar a lot - too much! The sad thing is I played 4 years of high school volleyball and 2 years of high school softball and I have never felt more out of shape than I do now. I'm ready to make a change for me, my son and my husband. Glad to "meet" all of you!
