Hi there

I am new to this site, and not quite mid 40's.. I'm 42. I have about 70 lbs to lose also if I go by the weight charts that doctors seem to love to pull out.

lesamac17 · January 2013

Yes, I am 40.

Hi Mel,

I'm Maureen, soon to be 46 and I also have approximately 70 lbs to lose. I did MFP about a year and a half ago with some success but got lazy. I'm doing it again hopefully for the long haul this time around. I actually started logging my food in Jan 6th but I usually do it via my phone. When I get a chance to get on the regular computer I like to visit the "community page". Hope to see you around here and perhaps share some tips and recipes.

Things I'm going to try to do a little differently this time around is weigh in just once a month and try to incorporate some fish into my diet (not a big fan but I'll start with tilapia and scallops). Sparkpeople had some good looking recipes so hopefully I'll give them a try soon.

Would love to have more company on this journey.

Maureen

I am brand new to this site (joined 5 mintues ago) I would love to add some friends as well to help with my weight loss goals. And discuss the stradditiona struggle of 40 year olds coming to grips with getting healthy.

Almost 40. 99 days to go! I can't wait. I'm so excited. I have 50 pounds to get rid of. Feel free to add me. I need support too. Plus all these changes seem to have started to happen in the last 6 months.

42 years old, 43 in march. I've lost 92 pounds since last January. I wanted to lose 100 by my birthday this year (March 13th) I am not going to make it but I probably will by Memorial day, maybe even April 1st and that's good enough for me.

Feel free to add me.

I am 40 and like everyone else need some encouragement!! I have about 45 lbs to lose. I have a 16 (almost 17)year old, a 14 year old and a 1 (almost 2) year old. All boys. You'd think as busy as I stay running with all of them, working a full time job and going to college (online courses) with a full load that I wouldn't have time to eat. LOL!!! All encouragement welcome!!

Good luck to everyone!!!

mhk0719 · January 2013

Will be 40 in July.

Feel free to add me as a friend.

MFPLynne · January 2013

Yep! 43 here. I joined last year with decent results --31 lbs. Then my gym closed and I moved and..... well most (all but 10) of the weight came back between Aug and December.
I recently found a new gym in my new location. Now I am working to get a routine going and to work on being better to mind and body.

badzoe · January 2013

I'm 44 years old and looking to lose, too. I'm a mom of three girls, the oldest in 2nd grade. I need to be a healthy mom for them and for me, so time to lose the weight.

Hi,

I just joined a few minutes ago and can't wait to hook up with people for support. I tried Weight Watchers for a bit and this looks the same but free! I lost 25 lbs on weight watchers but then got plantar fasciitis and put it all back on.

So here we go again. I turned 46 right after Christmas and I made the decision that something has to be done. I am tired of being tired! I have decided to make another life change- I am going back to school and the family is moving so I can attend. To get prepared I decided to have the full work-up. I just went to the doctor yesterday and found out I have high blood pressure. Now it is time for a boat load of test.

I am really nervous about the results so I hope this time -with new eating habits- it will all take. I have been battling my weight since I was 13. I am willing to support others and look forward for support as well. Lets get this started!

Yep - I have two kids - 19 year old daughter and 25 year old son. My son just moved to Tokyo and I would love to have lost some weight by the next time I see him (hopefully in August!). He lost almost 90 lbs his second year in college and I was so proud of him for doing that. Its all about lifestlye changes. I want to be able to go hiking in the mountains and walking the city of Tokyo when I see him!

Hi,

I will be 46 in a couple of weeks, not really new to the site but definitely new to posting in the community. Definitely do not mind making new friends and offering support when I can.

Wow! I am just blown away at all the support out there in MFPland!! Thanks to all the "forty somethings" out there for friending me!!
I have never been to the community site before and just decided on a whim to post what I did. I'm amazed at the responses!!
Here's to Motivation and Support!!

I am 47, turning 48 in the summer. I currently have 70 lbs to lose, so very similar to you. My hubby turns 50 this year and we decided enough was enough! I would love to have you as a friend.
