    hi there! I just discovered this site from a cousin of mine. I think it's pretty cool.

    but, after reading other peoples thoughts, I don't see anyone else join for my same reason. I NEED MORE ENERGY! I am turning 40 this year and having a really hard time with no energy. I am tired ALL the time. I know I need to get back to exercising more and that should help, but I just got to starting working on it. Anyone else who is close to 40 found these changes going on??? Help! I need advice and anyone - feel free to add me too.

    I'm right there with ya. After 3 weeks I have already noticed a difference in my energy level. I do take a Stress B-Complex Vitamin daily though so that helps with the energy level also but I was having to take that way before I started this journey.

    I had that same problem for a while. I didn't even have the energy to start working out!

    One day, I decided to just start with walking. Just through the neighborhood. A very slow walk, looking at houses, talking to people. I was tired and hungry when I got back and started munching . So I figured, if I'm going to get hungry from doing this, I may as well get energy food. First thing I did was replace all the the chips and cookies with fruits and crunchy veggies. Then I cut out fried foods and swore of ALL fast food places.

    My energy came back quick and motivated me to get in better shape. And I am glad I did!


    I hope that helps

    Hi, I am 40 and my son has just left home so I am feeling a bit sad but also thinking I might be able to do this for myself now. I have tried it before but just on my own... so it would be good to have some 'friends' in here. I would like to be connected with people so we can motivate each other, celebrate the highs and work through the lows. So, please add me as your friend :)
  • Feel free to add me. I just started this up. I am a father of 3 (47 yrs old). Love the Detroit Lians now that they have picked up 2 of my Boise State players :)

    Hi I'm 47 married with 4 boys down here in Australia. Feel free to add me. Hope I can post in here
  • Hello! I'm 44, mom to 3 (8, 12, & 18), married. I just started today, actually kind of enjoy counting the calories instead of figuring the Weight Watcher points! I'll need to do a lot more activity as I am hungry, and I'm not sure if 1200 calories will do it. Lots of fruit and veggies, but I am a hungry girl!

I seem to find myself finding excuses NOT to exercise...it's too hot (from Texas so it's hot alot)..I dont have anyone to watch the kids...or since it's fall...the games are on all weekend long.

    41 with 2 daughters and a beautiful grand daughter. Really want to get into running as soon as I can work up to it because I have 60 lbs to lose! eeeeks! So yes Please add me
  • 44 yr old Mom of two teens here. Need to get back to the gym and I'm starting tonight with a Core Circuit drop in class. Would love friends to keep each other motivated and even challenge each other. I have about 20lbs to lose... they have been stuck on me for three years now and everytime I lose them, they crawl back on my body during the winter months when I crave those warm comfort foods.

    you can add me. 46 and have 4 wonderful children. Baby graduates Saturday. My hubby is looking forward to grandchildren but i am not ready for them until I am at least 50, maybe by then I will have lost all this weight and will be a great-looking grandma, lol
    anyone fell free to add me, I can use all the encouragement and accountability i can get.


    Being a gramma might just help you with your goal. My mom lost about 30lbs when I had my daughter. She found something that made her happy. She lived with me at the time and it was almost impossible for me to get to do all the mommy things I wanted. It really made my mom happy, she didnt like raising her kids that much she claims my daughter as her 7th kid. lol

    Feel free to add me if you'd like
