    Hey, I'm 45 and I've been on here since November. My diary is open to my friends and I like to ramble from time to time. Anyone can add me if you want.

    Hi, I am over 40 and would love support. Have lost 8 pounds in my first week....I am eating healthfully for the first time in a long time. So much weight to lose but my daughter invited me to join my fitness pal and it is great. Such a great site to log my food.

    Hi there,
    Just found out about this website through my GP on Friday-so for me only day number 2-but I love how everything is tracked for you and I am very much looking forward to getting the healthy life style back. I lost 83 lbs 5 years ago with weight watchers and counting the points was an obsession-needless to say 1 pregnancy and 5 years later I am starting again-just this time the right way!
    Would love to hear others like you-kind of helps to know that there are others on the same boat!Take care-til soon:happy: Nathalie

    Add me in too! I am over 40 and looking to take off 10lbs. I lost 2lbs this week. I exercise everyday, but I really enjoy eating/snacking. I am an emotional eater (stress, boredom, kids,)
    Looking forward to supporting others and getting support back:)

    I AM 40 so I hope this doesn't disqualify me! lol I lost 70lbs over 20 years ago and have kept it off. Working out is such a way of life for me I can't imagine NOT exercising!

    Feel free to add me if you want support! If I can do this, you ALL can!!

    I'm here too and 47. This is day #3 for me. I'm on it with the smaller portions and calories, but could use motivation to get up, out and exercise. Looking for MF Pals :-)

    I love this thread!!! I want to add you all as friends.

    I am Lori, 43, and live in AZ. I am a total foodie with a really bad sweet tooth and enjoys good wine. I am in reasonably good shape but would love to lose about 10-15 pounds, lower my body fat, gain muscle, and tone up my lower body.

    I hike and run and just finished my first week of P90x- with a few Brazil Butt Lift DVDs in the rotation too.

    Let's be friends!

    :heart: Lori

    That is a great start. Day 1 for me. My work has a fitness incentive - if I can lose 20 lbs by Aug - get some extra $ in my check. So I have my motivation and looking for someone to help me keep an eye on the prize.

    Hi Michele my name is Debbie I joined Planet Fitness on a whim with my youngest daughter. We both went to workout together 3 times this week I went once with a friend from work. I have felt better this week than I have in probably a year. If you read my profile you can see why. I have lost 1.8 lbs I measured myself today its not pretty but I hope I stick to this and keep working towards my goal. I feel better emotionally more than anything. Oh by the way my daughter does not need to loose weight she looks good in anything. I have another daughter that does need to loose. I think I may have her convinced to loose with me. I am just really excited about all of this. I am finally focusing on me and not trying to find the perfect man that will solve all my problems. I hope I didn't come on to strong.
    Nice meeting you.
