I am 40. I weigh over 300lbs. Today is my first day on here (well that I have actually used it). I have tried every diet out there. I have lost and gained the same 15 lbs 100 times. I am ready - I am. I am excited to be here!

    Daily logger, age 35. 116 days here!

    Ive lost 32 pounds since June 28th and im <-> this close to "One"Derland!!!

    My highest weight was 246 but i started MFP at 233.

    I had a total of *about* 75 pounds to lose, but i cant say for sure, as i wont put a number for my goal weight. I refuse to let a number on the scale define me. I will know where i get there!

    Feel free to add me, but I dont have much of a "filter" lol.. Read my profile!!

    I'm also 40 and am 80 pounds from my goal weight but have lost 150 pounds over the last 4+ years. So my total weight loss will be 230 pounds so I know how you feel, it wasn't that long ago that I was just starting. I have only been on MFP for about a week and the people here are wonderful, very supportive!!!

    Feel free to add me : )))

    Hi and welcome! I am 41 and also need to lose 100 lbs (yikes! how did that happen!?!). We are taking our first ever trip to DisneyWorld for Christmas, and I would love to feel good enough about myself to be in family photos. I HATE looking at myself in pictures. I know I won't lose a lot by then, but it is time to get in control. :) I think the community support of MFP is wonderful. Best of luck to you. Feel free to add me!
