Hi, looking for any women around my age, 47, to support each other. Hopefully having "pals" to be accountable too will help. I need to lose about 50lbs and just haven't been able to get going on my own. This time HAS TO BE DIFFERENT!!! :):happy:

    Hi, I'm a bit older (55), but i'm looking for some support as well. I have just over 50 lbs to lose as well, having lost around 35 already. This time it is DIFFERENT! What goals do you have besides the weight loss?

    I would love to have/share support with someone who understands how tough it is to stay motivated. Old habits creep back too easily! I am 43 and want to idealy loose 108 pounds. I am a T2 diabetic and cannot afford a gym so there is no support or equipment ... just me. I have started to walk with my girls but it is sooo very slow!

    Hey, I sent you a request, I'm just about to turn 46 and need to drop another 50 :) I've been tracking my food and working out regularly since mid-september and as of this morning, 10 pounds gone!

    Hi! I'm 49 and have a total of 65-70 lbs to lose. So far, I am down 25 & 1/2 lbs. like you, I have decided this has to be a lifestyle change this time! I'm tired of working hard to lose 60 lbs, then gaining it all back, then having to start all over again. It's definitely got harder for me to lose weight once I reached my mid-40s and for a while I had just given up. Finally I got motivated, and I am seeing that it can be done (not as fast as in my 20s or 30s, or even early 40s, but it is coming off).

    Congrats on your decision to get healthy! You can do it! Feel free to add me as a friend, if you like:)

    Have a great day!
    Tracy

    I would love to be part of a group. I am 47 and I want to lose 50 lbs. I don't eat any processed foods but my caloric intake is still too high. I could also use some support!

    Hi. I'm turning 48 in two weeks and recently joined because I am so frustrated with myself. I lost weight 11 years ago and kept it off for six years or seven years, but have gradually put it all back on after back and knee surgery -- and now I'm right back where I started. I need to take off 40 lbs and it is really hard for me to commit this time. The last time I was successful, I was really disciplined with working out. I can not work out intensely like I used to do and can't seem to stay motivated. I would love support from others who are struggling. My goal is to get back to my healthy lifestyle, fit into my clothes again, and feel good about myself before I turn 50 :)

    I just turned 49 and need motivation too! I don't want to lose much - only 10 - 15 lbs. but God love me I can't seem to do it on my own! I've gained and lost the same 5 lbs 10 times over the last 3 years.

    Let's do this!! I refuse to buy bigger pants :)

    I have just turned 49 and I am also looking for support. I have a couple of relatively minor health issues and want to stop that before my health gets worse. I am a shortie and have about 45 pounds I want to drop. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I haven't completely gotten the hang of navigating the site so bear with my sometimes slow response:-).
