    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 :)

    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!

    Feel free to add me. I just turned 43, mother of 2 beautiful kids ages 10 and 2 (got a late start) and i work full time at a desk job. Looking for friends for motivation and support!! 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.
