    You can add me... I just turned 47. I was nearly 160 and worked my way slowly down to 137 and holding. I desperately want to lose at least 2 more and then may try to get down to 130 which I haven't seen since high school.

    I'm 45 and I would love to be friends with someone in my age bracket.

    Oops, wrong account. This is mine: KeriA

    I just started with MFP so I haven't had time to lose much yet. I show 2 pounds but I actually had 2 pounds that I didn't know about when I started :ohwell: so I have lost at least 4. So far this site seems to be working for me. I started exercising more a few years ago but the pounds weren't coming off although my clothes felt better. I am over 50 and am trying to get my metabolism to speed up. I am hoping this site will help me by helping me eat the right amount and lose slowly enough to keep my metabolism up and keep the pounds off. Hopefully it will lead to eating healthy too. Anyway I have enjoyed the support here too. I have tried the blog feature just a bit. Have you? Add me ..I find that friends here have helped me.

    Hi Becky! Congrats on making the decision to be healthier! :) Seems we all are in the 40's on this thread! I just turned 43 and made the decision that I was NOT going to be overweight any longer. I want to be around to see my grandbabies born!! I love MFP! It has been such an eye opener for me and has motivated me to make the necessary changes to be healthier. I'm sending you a friend request...we can motivate each other! :) Good luck!
