    Hello MFP friends, I'm turning 38 (mentally i'm in my 40s) and find the magic of being good to myself off and on. Today I saw an article that stated something like "Im sorry to my body for abusing it." Just those words made an impact on me, for now.:smile:

    Hi! I am 43, have just one child, work a full time job and need to lose somewhere between 60 - 70 pounds. Taking it one day at a time. Discovered a phen-phen supplement about 14 years ago and the weight just flew off. Umm, didn't stay that way. So now I have found Zumba (LOVE!) and I'm earning every lost pound the hard way! Says I've lost 14 but I am closer to 20 because I was in denial when I started and actually weighed 5 more pounds than what I input! Good luck on your journey!

    I am 41 and have lost 80 lbs. over the last 2 years...I am basically on a fitness journey now as my weight is pretty much staying the same. I would love to have some others that are serious about fitness and will help to motivate me and that I can help motivate. I workout at least 5 days a week and love running!

    48 this year. Struggle mostly due to stress. Exercising 6 days a week. Sticking to around 1000 cals daily. It's working now. Don't be a slave to the numbers on the scale - that's a hard one to follow. I just keep my measurements and have a body composition done every now and again to keep me motivated that everything is going in the right direction. MFP has been a real find. Glad to be part of the group!

    I will be 40 in August. I have a few short term goals that will get me to my ultimate goal by August or soon after. I was always a thin child and adult until 25. My mom died, had a miscarriage and just started being an emotional eater. Well I am ready to completely let go of this weight. I have only lost 8 pounds so far and some inches. I would have been depressed if it wasn't for those before and after pics I took. I do not want to go into my 40's being obese. I do Zumba 5-6 days a week and walk the other 1-2 days. I have recently gone from 30-40 min of exercise to 60 min. I hope to keep the motivation to get to my goals. Good Luck to everyone. :wink:

    I will be turning 56 in March and losing weight is harder in my 50's than it was a decade ago. I guess it is muscle loss. I would love to join a group of people that are ready to lose and keep each other motivated.
