I desperately need some motivation! I've been doing everything right but the scale says otherwise. I'm a lifetime WW member (since 1993). Was never overweight until I had twins when I was 20. Joined WW at 28. Now I'm 48 with 10 extra pounds that have come back and they don't want to leave. The first week on here I lost 3.8 lbs. and was really pysched! I've even been exercising, walking and doing the 30-day shred. I just feel depressed because when I weigh, the scale is going in the wrong direction! I even put my new exercise clothes on today and NEVER did anything! I'm really down in the dumps.
It is really common to gain weight when you first start working out......did you take measurements? If you didnt you should start now! I started Insanity on April 9th, been eating healthy and I have lost 2...count them TWO pounds, lol, I have however lost 16 inches....one pant size and feel better.....I think I might just throw out my scale it's really pissing me off!!0 -
I am 40 and in need of some motivation....We could help each other0

Hi There
I'm 41 and just switched back to calorie counting and there for MFP from slimming world and much happier doing it this way. I'm nearly at my goal weight, another half a pound to go but will still need to watch what I eat to maintain it once I get there - or maybe even lose a couple more :happy: Look forward to seeing you all on here :flowerforyou:0 -
I just joined today and can really use some buddy support. Will be 48 in a little over a month and have struggled with the weight loss yo yo all my life. Am hoping that this time I can finally get it off and keep it off.0

There a couple of groups for over-40s that I've come across:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1611-fabulous-and-fit-to-be-40-s-and-50-s
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/2379-fabulous-40-something-ladies
I hope those links work!
I'm 48 and was slim for most of my life, but became very overweight a few years ago. It's great to see other people closer to my age!0 -

+1 for that! Still not quite come to terms with it...0 -
Im 40, started this in January and quite a few of the friends I had then have now left or been inactive for over a month! Could do with someone who is really going to stick this out on my friends list!0
-
I am 42 and getting older has really made my slow metabolism almost non existent!!! I stay around 1200=1350 calories per day and workout on average 5 days per week and I can't lose a darn ounce!!! If anyone has magic answers or just wants to motivate, PLEASE friend me! So over it! I am looking to lose 10-15 pounds.0

You and me both..haha:drinker:0

for anyone in their 40s who would like to add me feel free!0

I'm 41. My first 5K is this coming Saturday - it's taken me 7 months to be confident enough register for this event. I'm so excited. I'm here everyday, giving all kinds of support. Add me if you'd like. : )0
-
41....and finding it hard, like most of us...to lose and KEEP it off....
anyone looking for support....same as i can feel free to add me!!!0 -
I'm 40 and have 90lbs, give or take, left to lose. You can add me if you like as I haven't done that and am not sure how but sure could use some support so I don't "fall off the wagon"0
-
Also, over 40..... I am 42 and can use all the motivational friends I can get. I just have a few pounds to go but even maintaining takes discipline and motivation. A healthy lifestyle will be something I will need to stick to for the rest of my life so I am here to motivate and can use the motivation in return. :-)0

I am 46 and I would totally like a motivational buddy.. having a really hard time seeing results staying at 1200 calories fairly meticulously. Please do add!
You may need to up your calories. I had the same issue when i was @ 1200 intake..but wasn't losing...Within a week and half of upping to 1560 i had loss 3 lbs... try it for a couple of weeks and see if that helps

45, turning 46 in June. Slower metabolim, strange aches and pains that linger for days, clicking in the joints and bad eating habits developed over the past 25 years. I know how it feels!! Add me if you're looking for a motivation buddy.0

I am 41. Add me as a friend; I can motivate and need motivation at the same time. I eat too many sweets!0

Hello I just turn 40! Married with 2 girls, Really need the extra motivation and push of others!0

I'm 40 and new (again) to MFP. I use it religiously and lose weight, stop using it and gain weight, come back and lose weight... you get the idea. I am currently on and losing weight. I joined the gym a week ago and signed up for a 10 week challenge, hoping that would be a great way to get started off right and (hopefully) stay that way. Anyone feel free to add me. I would love to find some new friends who are struggling with the same issues as me. Last Monday's weighin was 192.2 and today was 186.6. Feeling the changes, just have to stick with it!0
