Hi,
I'm new here, started my fitness kick two days ago ..
currently sorting myself out following massive ( for me ) life changes ... taking tiny steps rediscovering me, fitness, life ...
I've tried adding a few of you as friends but it appears to have a limit as to how many requests I can send out in 10 minutes .. I obviously click to quick :-/ :-)

    Haha, I'm very glad you can become friends with so many individuals at once! :-D I'm not forty-something but I can equally motivate and support just as well as a forty-something year old, :-) Glad to have you with us though! Feel free to add me, :-)

    Hi

    I only found out about this site on the 10th October and set it up straight away. I've been losing weight gradually for 9 weeks now and have lost just over a stone.
    I'm 47 and like you dramatic life changes made me decide to feel better about myself.
    I go to the gym 4 times a week because coming home from work, cooking tea afterwards I was just too tired to exercise, so I go to the gym straight after work for an hour.
    I've also just finished hypnotherapy and a lot of it was cutting down your portion sizes (to the size of a side plate), cutting it up into small pieces, chew each piece at least 15 times, drink plenty of water and when eating, eat at the table and switch off the TV.

    Hope this helps

    I am 43, it feels like over 40 belongs to a different world (LOL) we don't feel that young as to be able to shift the pounds like nothing. We usually feel like we have too much going on in our lives, (more than when we were 20 or 30). But there are a lot of people around here really inspirational. The more people you add the more difficult it will be to keep up, I don't know how people can be following 100 something friends, sometimes just choosing a dozen that make you feel inspired will bring more results than adding 300. Just read about them and think about how much you have in common with them, why do you want to add them to your list, is it because they are your age, is it because they share the same type of workouts, the same type of diets, the same type of dramatic changes in your life? I think that this is they way you will find the support that you are looking for. In people that share the same "whatever" as you. But that is just my opinion. Wellcome to MFP.

    Hi there! I'm 41 so just qualify!
    I've dabbled with dieting for years and have managed to stop too much weight piling on but started logging on here on Monday and am now determined to be slim in time for my 42nd birthday in April. Going well so far - 1 3/4lbs lost so far this week!
    Feel free to add me if you want :)

    I'm 40, I have been here since early September and already lost 22lbs, having a good friend base is useful and quire motivating.

    Feel free to add me if you like, i'm on daily and more than willing to provide support and encouragement.

    Same applies to other posters (without sounding desperate) I genuinely want to help and support and hoprfully get it back when I need it.

    Hey, I have been here a week and you are the first person I'm responding to. I have a challenge to make by the end of this month and I'm well on my way. Stick with it and get the support and check in daily. If you don't the days will blend and you won't remember what you had to eat or what you did for exercise. (48 but who's counting?) Woof

    41 years of largely clueless existence here, currently slashing blubber with a hitherto unseen cunning combination of no exercise, very little carbohydrate and an unfeasible amount of red wine.

    Going well with it too :)

    I'm 45 and I'm new to this site. My little sister told me about it and I quickly signed up. I'm glad I did. I like it. I'm not sure that I've lost any weight, I'm a little scared to look. LOL. Naw it's just that every scale around me is either off, or the batteries are dead. That really is the case. The very next time I hit the gym I'll know. But I'm having fun tracking my food and activities. Only thing I don't track is my bike riding, only because I take short rides from here to there. I look forward to meeting other members on here. Maybe I'll find someone to ride with me, my little sister won't do it.
