I am looking for midlife friends too. I have about 20 - 25 to lose but at age 52 it might as well be a gazillion. Anyone can add me.

It's totally possible. It's taken me awhile but I've managed to lose almost 25 so far.

I'm 37. Probably almost in the middle of my life. I'm not living to be 100.

Hello welcome

You can do it

Feck it, if I could, anyone can

Most important thing is calories: weigh all your food (no cups), log accurately..double check cos MFP database is inaccurate in the extreme, use the recipe builder, this gets easier and quicker

Progressive lifting ...see Strong Curves, New Rules of Lifting for Women ...protect your existing muscle..it's important for bone density, looking tight and taut and getting your body back

Don't make excuses ..age is not a factor, your willpower and stubbornness and commitment is

Good luck all

If you can't bring yourself to do free weights yet then do a decent bodyweight programme

But it all comes down to calorie intake for fat loss so don't forget your calorie counting

Anyone looking for friends and inspiration add me.... I have been strictly eating the past Three weeks because I need to get my cholesterol, blood pressure and pre diabetes down before march. I am trying real hard to eat correct but I am struggling with workouts. Need to loose about 25 lbs by March.

I'm 51 and 167. I'd like to be at 150. I find it very difficult to stay away from sugar and simple carbs. Looking for inspiration.
