    Hi, I'm 41.. and I've had my up and down years.. these last 3 years have been especially hard with the birth of my son... I just haven't shifted the weight like I did with the other two kids. I was 27 and 30 yo when I gave birth to my first two kids. I need to loose about 8kg to be comfortable.. and get rid of the love haddles. I'm excited about discovering this new website.. and would love to make some friends who are traveling the same journey. :smile:

    Hi,
    I can totally relate! I have lost and gained so many times, I can't even keep count anymore. This time is definitely different though--I've lost 56 lbs so far with another 40-50 to go. I am so ready to have the life I always imagined--the time is NOW. Always happy to meet like minded people on this journey so definitely check out my profile and add me if you think we'll be a good fit. And either way, good luck!

    I am 44.
    I was was 190 back in 2005 and gained 30 lbs over the next six years following my deployment to Iraq. I got motivated when I was about to be given a company command. I dropped 25lbs in three months. I gained back 15 of that over the next 18 months. I got motivated again back in July of this year and dropped ten lbs in a month and have kept it off thus far.

    Although i would like to get down to 190 again, I am not really focusing on my weight anymore but rather focusing on ability. I want to have better endurance, strength and flexibility. I dont want to be a "hard body." I want to be a healthy average joe.
