    I'm 43 and looking for inspiration, accountability and friendship! Both my husband and I have gained 20 lbs since we met in 2009. I guess it's true that when you're happy you get lazy and gain weight :-) We're on our fitness journey together and hoping to lose 10 lbs together before our trip to Mexico at the end of February, with the ultimate goal of 20 lbs being met by July.

    This is my first week and I'm looking for friends that might be willing to share recipes, workout plans, and support and I would, of course, do the same. I have a great deal of trouble in the work out motivation department and could use all the help I can get!

    well, just try walking. walk at a nice pace: +3mph. go to a scenic location with a camera and walk walk walk. start that way, and see if you become less averse to excercise.

    I am 5 weeks of turning forty. I have unfortunately been a yo-yo dieter for most of my life and it's time to finish this cycle! So i have embarked in what I hope is a better route, with exercise and diet controlled by a PT and educating myself on hormones. Myfitnesspal hrlps me understand the impact of my food snd exercise choices. Understanding the "deviations" snacking causes will helpfully work as a deterrent for future binges.

    Hi. I'm 43. I've struggled with my weight all my life. I've been big and I've been small. Now I'm trying to lose at least 12 so I can get all of my company's wellness points. They pay a portion of my insurance premium if I do. Plus I have a dress I want to fit into by March. We'll see. :)

    You can do it!!!!

    And BTW... What a great plan for a company to offer! Such a full cycle concept to offer to pay a portion of insurance premiums for employees who choose to be healthy. That's motivation of a different kind and I happen to think it's pretty darn awesome! Wish more companies would do that.
