in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Kay & I am looking for some new friends in or around 40 years old. I am 41 and I need to lose about 80 pounds! I am a Mom to 3 kids ages, 17, 9 and 6. I would love to connect with other Moms or Dads that are busy trying to lose weight & keep it all together while raising a family. I am finding that trying to lose weight now that I'm am older is A LOT harder than it was when I was younger. Anyone interested please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi! 45 year old busy mom, starting over on this whole diet thing. Some success in the past, then the inevitable self sabotage. Would love some new friends to encourage, and be encouraged along the way! :flowerforyou:

    Oh, yeah, my kids are 23, 18, and 9, with an almost 3 year old grandson who lives at home also! Spacing the kids out definitely reeked havoc on my waist line! Looking to lose at least 40 lbs if not more.

    Hi there. I am 40 with 2 kids, ages 5 & 3. I am busy and it is REALLY MUCH harder to lose weight than in my 20s.

    43 year old Mom with a wonderful 13 year old bottomless pit of a young man who works 2 jobs who is willing to befriend others on this Awesome path. Isn't it funny how much our kids eat without a care and here we are trying to turn back the hands of bad habbits? We sat down the other night and watched Super Size Me and I think it took my son until the next day to talk to me....I think if I bought him $20 of Mc Chicken sandwiches he would eat them until they were gone or he went into a coma. The change in the house is killing him in his mind and in mine, I am finally teaching him what his father (no longer together) and I have over looked. Good luck, I am here for a while with at least 50 more pounds to go.

    I just turned 40 eight days ago. I have two children 16 and 14. Working full time taking care of home and taking courses while trying to loose weight has been an adventure. Would enjoying adding you and anyone in the same situation we can help each other stay motivated.
