Hey everyone...just started this past week...loving this so far...am finding myself motivated AGAIN...it's been a long time. My daughter introduced this site too me and now I'm hooked...would love to add just a few women my age to help with support. I am turning 43 this June and have gained a lot of weight this past 2 years...STRESS will do it to you!! Have always been in shape...have always lifted weights and eaten good but after loosing everything we had 3 years ago I have turned to food for "comfort"...NOT GOOD!! My weight as of this past week was topping 200 lbs...NEVER in my life did I think I would weight that much! I have a goal of 56 lbs...PRAYING I REACH IT!! I want to feel pretty again and enjoy myself in my 40's...right now UGH!! LOL...would love to hear from a few of you women who understand were i'm coming from...THANKS!!!

Hi..Im new here too (my first week) Im 44 and have let myself go over the past 6 years resulting in 25kg weight gain, Im a stress head so I like a wine or 4 to destress me after work! Eeeek bad move :-(

Feel free to add me as a friend as well!! I have been using MFP on and off for the past year, and decided I need to really stay with it this time! I too am over 200 lbs - never in my life did I think I would ever be this heavy! I was always thin growing up, even after having 2 children I worked out all the time and was a size 6/8. Now I am an 18. I do NOT want to get any bigger so am determined to stick with eating clean and exercising!0

I'm new to MFP too...a friend of mine was raving about it on FB..I'm still learning all of the features. I know what it's like to need support. I'll be 40 in June, so I'm on a mission. Feel free to add me, too. Good luck with your goals 0

Hi, I am new to this also myself. I enjoy the food dairy, but having a hard time with my fat intake and exercising. Feel free to add me if you would like. I can use the support also.0

Feel free to add me! I'm 45 and just reached my goal weight last week (lost 19 pounds). This is my first week on maintenance so we'll see how that goes. So far I've had great success on MFP and met lots of wonderful people. Welcome!!0

Welcome. No worries. You can reach your goals. When I stepped on the scale at 188 lbs I had a wake up call. MFP has helped a great deal in my journey to burn the fat and limit my intake.0

Glad you found the site! I'm turning 45 next week and am determined that this year I WILL get to my goal weight. I started about where you are - weighed 196 in April 2011 when I joined. I've had success on MFP and made lots of friends. I'm pretty hardcore on exercise and food right now. Feel free to peek at my profile, and add me if you want. Good luck in meeting your goals!0

This is a must read for any newbie! Congrats on the first step sometimes its the biggest one! This read is essential to make sure you are eating enough. Also LIFT HEAVY STUFF! You will not be bulky (its impossible unless you're on steroids) and its the most efficient way to lose fat and inches and ensure you are not losing lean muscle mass!
You'll get there in no time!0 -

HI,
I am new to this, I am mid 40's. Am tired of looking like I look. I know it is no ones fault but my own, so it is up too me to change it..After looking around on here I think I am in the right place. I am hoping to lose and tone up. Don't care to be my high school weight, but 120 would be great. A 40 lb. goal. I do beleive it is attainable.0 -
Im new also please add me need motivation and support will return the favor 0
