    I joined the site back in January. I am just now figuring out the message board and friends. I started this site so I could track my calories each day as I try to lose weight, but have really enjoyed the message board and posts as well. I have 4 boys (a 16 and 3 year old and two step sons that are 15 and 17). I had my last son at 35, and I am having a hard time losing the last 20 pounds from pregnancy. I never had trouble in the past losing weight or maintaining my ideal weight. Now, I am really struggling just to lose a few pounds and keep it off. I am sure my age has a lot to do with it too. I have been back in the gym now for 2 months and watching my calorie intake, but progress has been slow. I enjoy reading everyone's posts and topics and could use the support.

      I just started today and have a goal of losing 50 pounds. I will be 50 this year and it is finally time to lose the weight. I can use all the inspiration and support I can get. We can support each other on our journey.

      Mom of 2 boys. You can do it just be patient. Ppl say it's better to come off slow than fast because its healthier. Good luck!!

      Hi Chrissy, This board is great and the members are wonderul. You're right as you get older it gets harder to lose weigt. When I was young and would hear older woment say it gets harder I was skeptical and thought they just didn't try hard enough! LOL Well the laugh is on me now! I am living it now but I'm sure if we keep at it, it has to come off sooner or later!!!

      I'll send you a friend request. Good luck with your weight loss.
