New here and looking for friends!

I am 40 years old, soon to be 41. I am new to this site and just trying to get a feel for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have read many posts that state that "I am the biggest I have every been without being pregnant." I can relate to that comment completely. I had surgery on my neck 1-1/2 years ago that has stopped me from working out the way I used to. I am trying to watch what I eat but it is very hard sometimes.

  • Welcome!
    I can relate to the biggest without being pregnant! About a year ago I was bigger than when I was pregnant with any of my kids. Very depressing feeling, but I'm working on that and getting healthier instead of just skinnier!
    Good luck....I'm sending a friend request.

    WELCOME! I just turned 40 in may with a plan a year ago to be FAB at 40! To date I have lost 60 lbs- all done in the gym, doing zumba and eating right. I started using this site last week because I felt my nutrition was starting to slack- BOY WAS I RIGHT!!!! Amazing how logging food and activity helps you with weight loss! Enjoy my friend!!!

    Hello Everyone, I wish I would have found this sooner. I am in need of friends to keep me motivated, I am a stay at home mom and taking care of everyone is my job, so when it comes time to do stuff for myself I often put it off. But I really want to lose 40 pounds. I've carried it for 4 years since having my kids. I want to enjoy going cloths shopping again, right now I cry when I have to do it.

    Good luck to us all.
  • Hi. I found this site really helped a lot so good luck and feel free to add me if you wish to.
