in Introduce Yourself
I am back for another shot at weight loss using MFP, I am turning 40 this year and would like to lose 30 pounds by September. I have used MFP before with success, this time I am using the app and have committed to exercising regularly, fingers crossed for success! I would like to be in better shape to play with my kids and feel better.

    40 is the new 20 right? Lol. I know we can all do this together, and I am losing weight for the same reasons as you, feel free to add me as a friend

    Your goal sounds quite doable and you really sound committed to making it. I have no doubt you will. I am shooting to lose 10 pounds by the end of March and then see where I go from there. Feel free to add me, I would be happy to support you.

    I'm 40 at the end of feb, already lost 56lb a couple of years ago but piled 15lb back on over the course of the last year, I'm determined to lose it and keep it off. Think my weekends socialising are my downfall :tongue: anyone feel free to add me if you like x

    I'm turning forty this year as well. Just joined yesterday. My ultimate goal is to lose 140 lbs, but for now, I'm focusing on 25 at a time. Good luck to all of you!

    Hi,
    I'm just starting my first day. I'm also turning 40 and at the end of this month!
    I have children and feel like i have missed my children growing up. Due to having zero confidence.:blushing:

    I have just had enough of being over weight, its running my life i feel as if i dont live, i exist. I am hoping to do it this time and next year enjoy christmas and new year.
    If you want to keep in touch that would be great.

    All the best Nikki x

    I just turned 50 and need to drop about 30. I thought it may help more by joining MFP. Good luck to you, you can do this! Feel free to add me.

    i'm 41 and have been using MFP for the past year. I have lost about 30 lbs and down 2 sizes. I still have a goal of losing a total of 50-60 more pounds. I now exercise on a regular basis and feel better than i have in years! I'm in this for the long haul and want to make life style changes that will stay with me! I am looking for more motivated friends to join me on MFP. Please feel free to add me!

    I'll be 40 in July and really need to get a good start on this weight loss before then. I've lost 50+ pounds at least twice in my life, but always gain it back. This time I want it gone permanently!

    either way - best of luck! seems like a reasonable goal.
