    Hi there

    I am new to this site, and not quite mid 40's.. I'm 42. I have about 70 lbs to lose also if I go by the weight charts that doctors seem to love to pull out.

    Hi Mel,

    I'm Maureen, soon to be 46 and I also have approximately 70 lbs to lose. I did MFP about a year and a half ago with some success but got lazy. I'm doing it again hopefully for the long haul this time around. I actually started logging my food in Jan 6th but I usually do it via my phone. When I get a chance to get on the regular computer I like to visit the "community page". Hope to see you around here and perhaps share some tips and recipes.

    Things I'm going to try to do a little differently this time around is weigh in just once a month and try to incorporate some fish into my diet (not a big fan but I'll start with tilapia and scallops). Sparkpeople had some good looking recipes so hopefully I'll give them a try soon.

    Would love to have more company on this journey.

    Maureen

    Almost 40. 99 days to go! I can't wait. I'm so excited. I have 50 pounds to get rid of. Feel free to add me. I need support too. Plus all these changes seem to have started to happen in the last 6 months.

    42 years old, 43 in march. I've lost 92 pounds since last January. I wanted to lose 100 by my birthday this year (March 13th) I am not going to make it but I probably will by Memorial day, maybe even April 1st and that's good enough for me.

    Feel free to add me.

    I am 40 and like everyone else need some encouragement!! I have about 45 lbs to lose. I have a 16 (almost 17)year old, a 14 year old and a 1 (almost 2) year old. All boys. You'd think as busy as I stay running with all of them, working a full time job and going to college (online courses) with a full load that I wouldn't have time to eat. LOL!!! All encouragement welcome!! :) Good luck to everyone!!! :smile:

    Yep! 43 here. I joined last year with decent results --31 lbs. Then my gym closed and I moved and..... well most (all but 10) of the weight came back between Aug and December.
    I recently found a new gym in my new location. Now I am working to get a routine going and to work on being better to mind and body.

    I'm 44 years old and looking to lose, too. I'm a mom of three girls, the oldest in 2nd grade. I need to be a healthy mom for them and for me, so time to lose the weight.

    Hi,

    I just joined a few minutes ago and can't wait to hook up with people for support. I tried Weight Watchers for a bit and this looks the same but free! I lost 25 lbs on weight watchers but then got plantar fasciitis and put it all back on.

    So here we go again. I turned 46 right after Christmas and I made the decision that something has to be done. I am tired of being tired! I have decided to make another life change- I am going back to school and the family is moving so I can attend. To get prepared I decided to have the full work-up. I just went to the doctor yesterday and found out I have high blood pressure. Now it is time for a boat load of test.

    I am really nervous about the results so I hope this time -with new eating habits- it will all take. I have been battling my weight since I was 13. I am willing to support others and look forward for support as well. Lets get this started! :)

    Yep - I have two kids - 19 year old daughter and 25 year old son. My son just moved to Tokyo and I would love to have lost some weight by the next time I see him (hopefully in August!). He lost almost 90 lbs his second year in college and I was so proud of him for doing that. Its all about lifestlye changes. I want to be able to go hiking in the mountains and walking the city of Tokyo when I see him!

    Hi,

    I will be 46 in a couple of weeks, not really new to the site but definitely new to posting in the community. Definitely do not mind making new friends and offering support when I can. :)

    I am 47, turning 48 in the summer. I currently have 70 lbs to lose, so very similar to you. My hubby turns 50 this year and we decided enough was enough! I would love to have you as a friend.
