    Obsessive is a good term - being 51 and a menopausal maniac everything becomes a bit obsessive. It is sooo hard to take off weight now - mostly because I love a good glass of wine, or two or three and anything carb related. Glad to connect to women my age!

    I am close to 49 with thyroid problems. I would love to blame it all on my thyroid but I can't. I know menopause is causing havoc and all those hormones don't help an emotional eater. This is a great idea getting a group of women together about the same stage of life to get through this journey together with. Friend me and together we'll win this battle.....

    Hi, I'm new here but in the same boat as a lot of women our age! I'm 45, and in menopause (surgical~since age 38). Age, combined with NO hormones makes it awfully difficult to lose weight....but mighty EASY to gain it! I'm married, have three sons, and I also have a full time job. I've started a "new year, new me" attitude, and would love to have some friends here. I am eating healthy, and have joined a gym with my husband (and I'm going!) Please add me, and anyone else here can too! I just joined this site yesterday, no friends yet but hopefully that will change!

    SW: 174
    CW: 168 (6 pounds...woot!)
    GW: 140 (?)

    Hi All,

    I agree with everything all of you have said:) I am 54 from Colorado and would love to connect with other women :)

    I've lost 8 pounds so far...a little frustrated that it's not more. But I need to get more serious.

    All friend requests accepted :)

    I'll be 45 this year, and it seems like my metabolism has deserted me! I'd love some support from peeps who understand the changes that come (literally and figuratively) with being this age. And I hear you about friending men - I don't mind it, but it certainly isn't why I am here. DH is just fine, thank you kindly. ;) Please feel free to add me!

    I am 45, been on here for a short time. The people on this site are wonderful, very supportive, and helpful. My deal is some weeks I'm all for it, exercising, eating right then there are those weeks just want to sit and eat. I think once you get going its easier, and with friends to kick you in the butt you'll be fine. So add me. :drinker:

    Hi, I too am over 45 and find it difficult to lose weight. Sometimes I'm very good and other times I'm not so good at all. I've just decided to join the myfitnesspal to see if that motivates me so I can see what I've eaten and how much exercise I've done - when I do some. So here goes, Im hoping that I'm going to be feeling better about myself in a few weeks time when i'm several pounds lighter. Good luck to you too.

    Hello, I am new to here too, I am 45 years old and I live in Hertfordshire UK, I stumbled on this site through my phone and joined, I think it a fab way to track what I eat each day as I was manually writing everything down.
    I haven't really looked around much on the discussion boards but I am a loking forward to doing so.
    I am a single parent, and I work full time, please feel free to add me :)

    Hello ladies,

    I'm 51 yrs young, 4 pregnancies, last one was at 42 yrs old. I've always been on the thin side but have found at my age the belly fat is here & hopefully not to stay. I've not gone through menopause yet & based on what my mom has told me I may not even notice. I'm 5'5" 133lbs & hate exercising! I will however begin walking 20 mins every other day & I lift 5lb weights 3x a week to help with my arms. I am in contact with a weight trainer who swears it's what we eat in our daily calorie intake & not so much the exercise, although, she says exercising is the added benifit to look good. So here I am trying out this calorie tracker. I just want to lose the middle fat without having to go see a plastic surgeon. I don't smoke or drink (sometimes a Miller lite maybe 2x a month) I love everything chocolate...everything! My friend has asked me to try a drink called Body by Vi for 90 days & swears I'll lose the weight...we'll see. And, I also have a son-in-law who is a reg. dietician so wish me luck.

    There, I've said alot. I wish for all of you to end up healthy & in the dream shape you so desire...WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!

    Yes, I just started, and I would like to have some friends to share this journey. I need to lose 25-30 lbs, and it is so hard to go it alone.

    Hi Ladies! I've never really had weight issues until I hit my mid 40's. I quit smoking in 2009 and gained about 10 pounds from that. I was doing well with the food tracking and working out but then fell off the wagon a few weeks ago. Seems I lose and gain the same 4 to 5 pounds. It's frustrating. I can use all the help I can get and would love to return the favor! :)
