    Hey all, I just turned 40 and have decided that I need to do something different. I've been overweight my entire adult life and I'm just done with it. I'm done having kids now and have finally recovered from weaning and post-partum so now it's time to focus on myself a little. I need to lose over 100 pounds so if there's anyone out there in a similar boat feel free to add me I could use the motivation :)

    Hey there, I'm 46 and back at it... My weight has gone up and down my whole, entire life. I get to a point where I'm at goal and I think, "Oh! I'm cured!" And then I stop tracking, start eating crap, skip workouts. You'd think I would know better by now. Anyway, here I am near 160 and I have finally come to accept that I will need to track what I eat my whole life. Because if I don't, I'll keep telling myself that eating, "just this one thing..." about 6 times a day is okay and then getting upset with myself when I am back to a place where I am uncomfortable with my body AGAIN. I also have a 14 year old daughter and would like to role model a decent, rational relationship with food. I also go back and forth between "everyone should love their body the way it is" and "I don't love my body the way it is." Sigh.... Anyway, I would love to make friends with you all and help support you on your journeys as well. Anyone else figure they are going to have to track for life? - Jen

    Why does no one wants to be their age? I don't mind being 47. I don't feel 47, I'm told I don't look 47. It's just a number really. I know lots of 89 year olds you'd never guess are 80. I say be proud of your age because we all get older.

    Good point.. ok.. I AM 57, and I'm looking forward to being 58 next month! I want people to look at me and say that... you sure don't look 58.

    Ya surprise them. Be proud of your age you've put in those year experiencing life. Ya it comes with aches and pains but no reason at all to be ashamed of aging since it's something everything on the earth does. And heck if people say I don't believe it then more power to you but I do often wonder who decides what certain ages look like. Maybe I look 47 and those who look it when I supposedly don't just look older

    Love that attitude, Tony! I agree - the best compliment you can get - "You don't look that old". HAHA! :D

    When you state your age as levels it sounds much cooler. You gain experience and then level up. 😜

    53 and was in great shape until all the surgeries came, the last one being a hip replacement! Robbed me of all my hiking, dance fitness and activities in general! Looking to get back into condition with my new hip - feel free to add me (need the encouragement).

    Oh!! Is that the age when hips need replacing?! I'm just sort of grinning and bearing it, but my hip sure is no good now.
