Hello. I'm 43 with 2 girls (12 and 4) happily married for 15 years in September and needing to lose 19 more pounds by September. I've been fairly healthy up until I turned 40. I've always been overweight. But it seemed like at 40 my body said "I'm going to start rebelling now." So here I am at 43 with high cholesterol. I really started to focus on changing how I look at food and exercise. Eight pounds gone since March. I can and will lose the rest.

I just joined too, same age as you (43). I'll send you a friend request. Looking for some diet buddies to do this with.

Hi. 44 here and my body decided diabetes was the choice for me. Lol. But been on MFP on and off for awhile now. Decided to stick with it and down 2 sizes in my jeans with 12 inches in total gone since january. Now no signs of diabetes but still want to lose about 40 - 50 more pounds. Welome! We all could use all the support as well as give it.

When I was pregnant with my second girl I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Not fun. I'm not a fan of needles.

Sounds like your doing great. Keep going.

I'm noticing my clothes fit better, my joints are so achey and I actually have more energy.
