Hiya.
Im in my mid 40's (!) and would like to find others of a smiliar age to give and receive support and encouragement.
I dont have a support network (my OH can pretty much eat what he likes), and all my friends are not in the same country as me.
Id really like some help on my journey to a healthier, lighter me.
Cheers
Jo

    Hi there, recently turned 46! Joined myfitnesspal just this Monday because I've gained a little bit of extra weight lately and can't figure out why! Thought I better start tracking what I'm eating to get to the root cause.....happy to be part of the "middleaged peeps" group ha ha.

    Hi Jo!

    You are definitely not alone! I have the "privilege" of turning 50 this year, and to ease the pain I'd like to really get in shape. I've got about 40 lbs. to take off.

    Hi I'm 46 been losing weight since january and have lost 24 lbs so far, only recently joined here so ticker shows only 3lbs still have a fair way to go to get to a healthy weight roughly 33 or so lbs will decide on a taget nearer the time. It would be lovely to have support from others as my oh has never had a problem with his weight and doesn't understand how hard it can be to lose it. onwards and downwards :-)
