Hi. I need some friends to support my weight loss goals. I'm turning 40 next month and I'm trying to be healthier for my daughter. My immediate goal is to lose enough by next summer to fit on the roller coasters that she is now tall enough to ride!

    You can do it! Just remember it didn't go on quickly and it takes a bit to take it off so don't get discouraged. Stick with it and you will be seeing results quickly!

    You can do it! Just take one day at a time. I had the same goals of wanting to do things with my son. I enjoyed horseback riding with him and am looking forward to other things together. I also didn't want to be embarrassing to him now that he is starting high school. Just remember your goals and make great choices. Good luck.

    Hello! I am 41 years old, I just signed up and will be starting tomorrow. I'm excited to start. I've tried many diets before that have worked for a time, but then the weight crept back on. I want to loose about 100 lbs. Looking for some friends to share the experience with and for support.

    You can do it! Just don't forget to have patience and persistence and all your hard work will pay off. I speak from personal experience. After my son was born 5 years ago I decided I no longer wanted to be the obese person I had become. I wanted to set a good example for him and be around long enough to see him grow up. It seemed so insurmountable when I first started out so instead of saying I need to lose 100 pounds I did it in 10 pound increments. For every 10 pounds I lost I would treat myself to something special (non food related!). A pedicure, a new shirt in a smaller size, etc. I have since had another child and have been able to keep the weight off. It can be done! Feel free to add me. I have been in maintenance mode for about a year (my second child is now 2) but I am still very active on MFP. You got this!

    Aw that is an awesome goal!! I remember the first time I could latch a roller coaster AND the go cart at the go cart track!! Big thrill!! Good luck
