Looking for 40 somethings with 100 or more pounds to lose

I am hoping to connect with some friends who are in similar situation as I am. I am 43 and need to lose at least 100 pounds; probably more like 120 in all honesty.

I would love to have some camaraderie and support from someone who "gets it", if that makes sense. My husband is height/weight proportional and has no clue what it feels like to be in my shoes. I want to get healthy for myself, but also so I can be there for my husband and children for the long haul.

If you are in a similar situation and need some support, let's friend each other. I need the accountability, so very much!

We can do this! :)

    Hi Lisa! I'm 44 and still have right around 100 to lose. Feel free to add me if you like.

    Good Luck!
    :happy:
  • Hi! I'm Nick, I'm 40 and I've got over 100lbs to lose. My hubby is a beanpole, and can eat anything he likes and not gain weight. It's frustrating!
    All friends gratefully accepted!
  • Hi, I almost have 100 lbs to lose...I need to lose about 90 to get to what I consider a healthy weight which is 140 lbs (although doctors say I should weigh more like 125, that's probably never going to happen!). Please feel free to add me. :)

    I'm 42 and have about 120 pounds to lose overall. I'm also very highly motivated at the moment but dread when that starts to drop...because it always drops...

    I've been on here a couple of weeks and have actually tracked every day. Woo! Might be a new record for me! I'd love some new friends, as well - it always helps to have people on the journey with me. :)

    I'm 40 and also have about 120 to lose. I have one son and also have a husband who is height/weight proportionate and doesn't always get it although he does support me no matter what.

    I'm 43 and although I don't have any children and I'm not married, my goal was to lose over 100 lbs. I'm down 24, since June of this year, and within the last 3 weeks, I've been more motivated than ever, losing 6 lbs since getting my act together. I'm driven now and I can see how I can lose this weight. I don't have a secret to doing it except to stay around or under 900 net calories. I can do this and I'm rewarded by the way I feel as I'm shedding the pounds.

    Feel free to add me.
