Hi all.
I am a 44 year old working mom mom of 2 teenage boys. I did the WW thing, which worked great for a while. Lost 69 lbs in 2008/2009, but then after a couple of years of keeping it off, have gained back about half of it. I am currently determined to lose 23 lbs to get back to where I want to be. Thought I'd give MFP a try.
I used to enjoy excersing, but now find it a chore just to get to the gym. Looking to find others who are finding that losing weight after 40 is harder than it used to be, and who can share some ideas to get moving!
Would love to find a group of folks to support, and be supported by, to help us all succeed.
Determined to lose this in time for our annual family portrait, which we take in December, in front of the castle at Disneyland.![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Feel free to add me if you are looking for the same.

41 here. You say you have teenage boys.....do you by any chance have an Xbox with Kinect? I love mine......don't really like the gyms by me, but I have some really good workout games and have been having good results. Feel free to add me!
BTW - I am a single, full-time working mom to an amazing 9-year-old daughter!0 -

I turn 43 next month. I also have 2 teenage boys. I thought it would be difficult to lose weight since I'm "over 40" now, but it really hasn't been that hard. Tracking my food on here has helped tremendously. Eating more veggies has really helped me not to feel hungry. I'm getting ready to add exercise today. I hate the gym so I'm starting the 30 Day Shred today. Also, a trick my parents taught me, I've been using a salad plate for my meals because it really represents what a serving portion should look like.0

I am 42 and have lived for the past 25 years in Germany. MFP has helped me lose over 25 pounds and I have a good 10-15 pounds to go. I like encouraging people and commenting on their success/posts!
Add me as a friend if you like.0 -

Hi I am 43, two teenagers aged 19 and 16. I work part time 3 days a week. I have been doing mfp since half way through April. I have lost 11lbs so far and just aiming to loose the last 6 or 7 lbs. Its great to have support, my hubby and 19 year old have been on this site too, so we are all supporting each other. I love exercise too and find going to the gym with mates give me the motivation, if I don't do the gym hubby and I go for long walks, hoping to get started with a bit of jogging, running soon to try and flatten my tummy. Good luck x0
