Hello fellow 40-Somethings!!

I'm new to your group and my 40's, having just hit the big 40 this past week. I've been using Fitness Pal for about a year....Ok, I started using it a year ago and fell off the wagon. Just got back on right after my birthday and I'm ready to go!! Already down 10 pounds!!

I'm a single mom to an amazing 5 year old and I work an overnight shift as a Public Safety Dispatcher. So nothing about my life is normal or routine, which makes the weight issue even harder. I gained almost 100 pounds during a difficult pregnancy with my little guy and just never lost it. Now it's time. I'm getting older and I want to be able to enjoy my kid...So here we go!!

    HI all, I also just joined this group last weekend, and I too just cancelled my Weight Watchers membership. I am hoping this sight will help me stay accountable for what I am eating. We all can use support and motivation so please feel free to add me! Congrats on losing 10 pounds!

    Yep, I just woke up one day and my clothes didn't fit anymore. I swear I've been bamboozled! I'm trying to click my heels three times and it ain't working. I'm still in the same bad dream where I'm 45 pounds heavier than my old "fat girl" size. I would love to be that "fat girl" again. :sad:
