    I'm 45 & have been on this site (on & off) since 2010. I have physical limitations (see profile) but I refuse to let them stop me from becoming the person I know I can be.

    If anyone wants to friend me - just let me know how you found me.

    I am also the administrator of the T.HE. (Trying Hard Everyday) group. It is a group (for women only, sorry) that supports each other in dealing with things that all women deal with on their journey to make a healthy lifestyle change.

    I'm 51 but feel more like 41!

    I've lost a stone since being on here which wasn't too difficult once I got into the swing of it. I've done this purely by counting calories (apart from a walking holiday in June) but am now looking for the motivation to get to the gym and work on my % body fat which is still too high.

    Add me if you like and we can support each other

    Just started today. I'am 44. I lost 60 lbs and slowly I've seen a few lbs sneak back. I want to nip this in the bud and re-lose 20 lbs and get back on track again. I would love for anyone to add me and help me out with my journey.

    I am 44 and want to lose 70 lbs. I also just started. it is almost a week now. i hope i lost at least 3 lbs. I have an elliptical machine that i have used for most of the week. Just take it day by day. Don't worry about tomorrow. Seriously, just don't. If you say that to yourself everyday it makes it a bit easier!

    LOL...that's funny! I am 53 and have been neglecting myself for so many years I had tricked myself into thinking I was good at "estimating" my calories/serving sizes etc. My clothes disagree with me too. I just tracked my Friday and Saturday food intake....for REAL this time and I realized how badly I have been sabotaging myself on the weekends. YIKES!

    Hello! I am 47 and happy to be a grandmother of 2. It was celebrating my granddaughter's 4th birthday that made me realize I was at an unhealthy and not at an as attractive place as I want to be or should be. The photo I am using was my motivation to get started. It has been 4 days, and I have lost 2 lb. Most importantly I feel happy to be working towards my goal, and excited to be moving. I am using 2 websites, the first one is BodyForLife.com which is where I started. I following the exercise plan and the rule of 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates, 20% fat. A member of that website directed me here for which I am grateful. Logging my daily exercise and diet plan, and watching the numbers at the bottom of the page are great daily motivators. I find myself typing in my next meal, watching the numbers change in an unbalanced way, and changing that meal for something better for me. Good Luck, everyone!

    55 and starting all over again. I had gotten myself down to 155 lbs three years ago then got lazy about my nutrition and fitness. I am now battling back to get myself there again.
