Hi everyone! I just started using the web site. Can anyone point me toward some motivation groups that are for the 40+ crowd or for people wanting to lose 100 or more pounds? Thanks for helping get me pointed in the right direction!:smile:

    Not sure about those over 40 wanting to lose 100 lbs, but I am 41 trying to lose. I did lose 33 and still have 12 to go. I lost most on the South Beach diet. It worked really well and I have kept it off for 3 years. The last 12 are stuck. That is why I came here. Trying to cut calories to see if that helps. I will start with exercise as soon as the kids go back to school and I will have my mornings free. Maybe it will be gone by the time I turn 42 in October! Good luck. I really like this site.

    Hi. I'm 47 and over the last 3 years I've lost 95 lbs, mainly by writing down what I eat and exercising. I've been on the Atkins diet, which gave me a ton of energy, but now and then I did need carbs. After losing 45 lbs on that I switched over to the Sugar Busters Diet, which has worked very well. I do love my carbs! :)
    Good luck and stick to it. It gets frustrating at times but just hang in there. It's worth it!!
