Women in their 40s!

I'm a man in my 40's, this thread caught my attention mostly because I'm a man in my 40's (sorry not sorry, lol). I'm just getting back started and would love to connect with anyone looking for some new friends to help with motivation and help keep this at least a little fun. Don't worry, I'm married so I don't want to date you but I might flirt a little and tell you that you look nice or 'good job' when you're doing your thing.
Have a great weekend ladies! I hope to get at least a few friend requests, sense of humor required.

Hi, all! I’m 40 and looking to lose 10-15 lbs...in one butt cheek. 100 overall. I lost 80 lbs after my third kid was born but life got in the way of keeping it off and I gained it all back and then some. I want to get back to feeling physically better! Support is key. Laughing together, venting together, sharing tips, all that. Hoping to find others in my same boat! Happy Friday! 1

Happy Friday! My gusband’s been away this week, so it’s been a real challenge to get some exercise in, but managed 2 runs & a walk. Hoping to get something in sat & Sunday too
I need a new scale. Wondering if it’s worth buying a more expensive one or should I just see what I can find at the thrift store? Have a great weekend!0 -
Hello all! After three years of pursuing a master's degree, working full time and being mom to two and foster mom to one I have definitely let myself go. Time to get back on that horse and get strong again. I can't believe how much my muscles have disappeared! TBH... I hate exercising. It's a real challenge to get myself motivated to hit the gym. Looking for help & motivation here - losing it in my 40's.1

I'm 41 and just hit 10kg (22lb) loss so I thought I'd have a dabble with the community and see what others can teach me as I move on in my journey. I'm from Manchester UK and please feel free to add me1

Hi all, am turning 40 this year and finding it so hard to lose weight compared to my younger days! I gained 6 stone in my last relationship and desperately trying to get it off! Was 19 and a half stone and now 16 and a half but finding it tougher now. So have started a fitness programme lifting light weights which is really helping. Add me to help motivate each other! Lets fight the fat! Emily1

Hey ladies! I'm 41, and need to lose just under 50 lbs. I've lost 20-40 a few times and gained it back.
Now I'd like to use MFP to track more accurately and also to give and receive support! Please feel free to add me! 2 -
Feel free to add me. I've been steadily exercising and logging since January, and have a fiery motivation to reach my goals, and see others reach theirs. We can do this ladies!3

Hi all
I decided at Christmas that enough was enough, weighing in at 15st 1.
Started dec 27th and have lost 2 st 6, down to 12st 9.
I can’t lie, it’s been tough. I avoid treats at all costs. 1 biscuit is never enough and I can’t look at a crisp!
I’d like to get to 11st. But I know that a plateau is probably just around the corner and I’m dreading that.
If I offered two tips they would be
1. Drink loads of water. When you think you’ve had enough, drink more! I’m drinking around 3 litres over 12 hours. Be careful to space it out
2. In the early days I took a gluconamman supplement from Holland and Barrett. It’s a plant fibre. Take two half an hour before a meal with water and it helps you not to overeat.
If anyone has any tips for me plateau wise I’d be very grateful. I can’t exercise sadly. I have arthritis all over and fibromyalgia Swimming is an option but I’m terrified of water!
We can do this. Good luck1 -

Well said Suzy!
Or maybe lighten up...a little friendly banter mixed in with support can be helpful for some folks. It’s not for everyone which is fine. Just having a little fun, not that serious.

mcbeef29, sorry, but I, and some of my other friends on here, have had some real creeps messaging us. It's got my guard up. It's just not what we're here for on this "Women in their 40s" board. That's probably why you got crickets here. Hope you find a good group of friends -- my group has been invaluable to me!3

Angela, Glad you liked the 2 ingredient dough! It will no doubt be a staple in my meal planning!!0

Hi! I'm 42 and looking to lose around 70lbs. I'm getting married in August and bought my dress 7 years ago so it doesn't fit. My short term goal is to get to a point where I can at least get my dress altered. I could use more friends.3

I’ve already sent friend requests to several of you. Anyone else, feel free to friend me! I’m 47 and want to lose about 50 pounds. I just restarted on MFP on Friday and have lost nearly 3 pounds so far. Whoo!! I still have a long way to go, but having MFP friends on the same journey does help.2

Hey Ladies! Can I join you?? I REALLY need some friends on here!! I am 44 and am trying to be healthier. According to my dr. And the charts I have 70 or 80 lbs to loose but I am trying to not focus on the number on the scale, just learning to eat healthy foods and healthy portions with healthy attitudes. I am tracking to make sure I am getting all my macros in.
My biggest struggle right now is getting my excersise in. Being a busy mom and working from home makes it hard to find the time and the meds I am on really zap my energy.
I could use some friends to help motivate me and keep me accountable so feel free to add me!!3 -
I'm 43 and have lost 100 pounds. Feel free to add me here [personal details removed by mods]
I'm currently trying to gain strength and balance that with doing some distance running. I'm a single mother of 2 teenagers - so cooking and eating well with the family is always a challenge!3 -
I'm 44.. Single Mom of 5.. I need to lose about 20 more lbs
I go to the gym regularly, but I just want to EAT!!
I'm really trying though.
Any of you ladies want to add me, please feel free to do. 2 -
