Women over 40 looking for support

finallyhome2019

Hello to you All!

I am looking for some support and motivation from other women over 40 who have chosen to embark on the same journey - losing weight, getting healthy and making friends along the way!

I am only on day 5 of my new journey and have already lost 3.5 lbs! Not a bad way to start.

Please let me know if you would like some encouragement to keep you motivated - I know I can sure use some!

Thank you!

Michele

Hello, I'm WAY over 40:) I would like support also. My doctor says I need to lose about 20 pounds, so here I am. The holidays are always hard. I was a baker for 16 years and I still do a lot of baking......and eating at home. Hope to hear from you. Would like to add you as a friend.

43 years old here. Would love support from others who can relate to the struggles of losing weight as we get older. I know it is a lot harder for me now than it used to be. I have birthed 9 children so I estimate that I have lost around 450 pounds just in baby weight over the years. I am currently 185 and need to get to around 150! I need all the help I can get.

Add me, too. I am 58 and have been down this road many times. I used to run 5 and 10k's and now find it hard to go on a hike. My motivation is a new granddaughter and a daughter's wedding in October. Need to lose 40 pounds. Down 4 this week!!

I am way over 40 also. I lost around 35 lbs on this program. Went off when my husband was seriously ill and put about 15 back on so here I am again. I sure can use all the encouragement there is. I saw today that this is rated as the number one diet program, so I am hoping to be one of those success stories.

Michele,

I would love to be your friend and hopefully we can be a source of encouragement for each other...I am older than you, 63...if that is not a problem. I am just trying to take off 50 pounds but mostly learn to live a healthy lifestyle. Good luck on your start and I wish you continued success.

HI! Over 40 and have just got out of my exercise routine about a year ago.. Looking for some motivation to get me off my butt..lol
I love to cook, so i make some really yummy stir fry's that are pretty healthy but have just not figured out a way to get motivated about a new fitness program.. HELP... I use to always care about my image but stuck in neutral. Would love any tips on tasty home cooked low calorie meals and any motivational tips to get me off my bum!!

I'm 44 and a recovering bulimic - I don't know what has happened since May but I am steadily gaining weight and finding it near impossible to stick to a reasonable food plan and feeling very unfit...I need all the support Iavailableb. I went through treatment 8 years ago and this is the first time I have struggled like this!

Hello,

I am 49, and in 23 days I will be 50. I have been trying to lose weight forever, but in the last couple of months I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and a low thyroid, and now it is time to stay motivated and lose weight. Feel free to add me. I have a hundred pounds to lose and will be on this trip for a while.

I sent a friend request, I am going to be 48 in a few months and am also looking for friends in the 30 and up category.

Will be turning 50 and 3rd day on MFP. Will lose 45 pounds this year! Tired of being tired and really hate the way I've let myself go. High School friend just sent me a photo of myself from way back when and my kids couldn't believe I looked like that. I really thought I was overweight then but I was actually thin compared to my mental picture. I have been half way trying to loose weight for last 12 years (had two boys late in life) and have finally made up my mind to do so. I also have an underactive thyroid and had my gall bladder removed years ago. So I should be eating healthlier anyway! I've decided to use Just Dance to begin exercising 5 days a week or any other Kinect game. I really miss dancing though. Just need to get moving so I get my energy level up. Feel free to add me!
