Hi everyone,
I'm 3 weeks in, so I'm still a relative newbie, and I'm definitely looking to add some friends. Really, I'll add anyone who is a daily user looking for support, but I am hoping to find some folks that are over 40, with 40 or more lbs to lose on their journey.

I'm 47. My starting weight was 180.2, my current weight is 170.8, my goal weight 130-135. I eat and exercise, and its working!

Denise

    All above and those to come, I'm 57 and log daily, I'm at goal weight (have lost 97 as of a week ago) Happy to share my diary and exercise plan. Just send me a note with the FR, just a word of caution though, I'm a retired Soldier, a Former Army Master Fitness Trainer, so my motivational advice is sometimes frank and direct, and i do not suffer wining or excuses well.

    I'll be 41 next month and I have about 70-75 to lose although if I go by those dr charts I have 100+ . My doc told me to think back to a weight i was very happy with and go there so 170 it is. Feel free to add me.

    Hi Denise, My name is Maureen and I am new also. I just started using MFP yesterday. I am 45 years old and I am a yo yo dieter. I just recently gained 40lbs. of my 70lb weight loss. I am so mad at myself and I understand now how truly hard it is to lose weight. I used to be able to drop weight fast and now that I am in my 40's I see it coming off painfully slow. I never want to be in this position again! I want to lose the weight and KEEP IT OFF FOREVER!!! I am truly motivated this time, but like I said it is slow going. My current weight is 208 and I have been excercising and dieting for an entire week and not a pound dropped. I too could use a friend to help me keep going.
