    Hi Kim, thanks for joining our group! Congratulations on your weight loss — very inspiring! I'm going to confess that I'm focussed on that delicious looking pizza slice in your profile photo ; ) One of my favourite foods but it's off the menu for the next 90 Days I'm afraid!

    Hello!

    I was not sure if this group was for people over 40 years old or for people looking to lose over 40 lbs. So I joined anyways:) I am looking to lose about 95 more pounds within a year.

    Starting weight 256
    Current Weight 235
    Goal Weight 140

    Motivation:I am a single mama to 2 beautiful boys with LOTS of energy and I want to be able to keep up with them. I am from Buffalo MN. Want to become healthier and feel good about myself. Also another big motivation is my 10 year reunion coming up this next June. :):) Excited to learn more about everyones journey!

    Hi!

    I'm Cheryl, 46, in Ohio.

    SW 198
    CW 165
    GW 139

    I was sick of what I saw in the mirror and hiding in pictures. I just joined a gym (it should be illegal how much I paid) $60 for an entire year for my family and I, my employer paid the rest of it. It's a small gym and classes are extra ($18 per class per quarter) but I've been whining that I couldn't afford a gym and I wanted to lift, so I'm doing what I can with what I have.

    My motivation is what I see in the mirror, while I love my new body, with the weight loss comes flabby parts, I want them to go away!

    I've also been running, my goal is to run an entire 5k on October 22, I've already registered and I'm working hard to reach that goal.

    Hi,

    CS here

    Age: 50 (I hope i made the cutoff LOL)
    Male
    Location: NC

    CW: 188
    GW: 153

    I am trying to lose weight and get fit the "right" way by using MFP. I am not really concerned how fast i lose the weight. I just want to be super fit and healthy.

    I really am into running and am planning to run my first 5K in years in November.

    Also trying to seriously incorporate lifting into my fitness routine.

    All about encouragement so that we all meet our goals!

    Hi,
    My name is Steven
    I live in Australia
    I don't turn 40 until mid year 2014 but this group seemed right for me.
    SW 142kg (313lb) - 12Aug2013
    CW 122kg (270lb)
    GW 85kg (188lb)

    I gained my weight, 52kg (114lb), from October 2010 until August 2013. My goal is to return to a healthy weight and live an active life during my 40s.

    I have been using MFP for a week and it has complimented my training and diet goals.

    How's everyone doing on their quest for "Buff"?

    Are your bulges shrinking? Feel free to share your tips & successes. Since I've REALLY been focussed on clean-eating lately, I've pinned some great recipes on my Pinterest page. Feel free to check out the recipes at: http://www.pinterest.com/excentricvic/boards/ But you may NOT want to look at the recipes posted in the "SINFUL RECIPES" board : ).

    Happy Shrinking!

    V.
