    "I will be (gulp) 46 next month. I have 7 and 9 year sons. And I have (double gulp) 130 pounds to lose. How does that happen?! :)"

    Carbs, man. They are the enemy after 40. Me & carbs have a love- hate relationship. I love them, but they want to kill me, so we don't hang too much anymore. :wink:

    Hi! I am 42 too and will be 43 in April. I have between 30-40 lbs. to lose. I have been creeping up, 5 lbs or so a year since I was 30. unfortunately In my mind I am still a size 8 not the 16 I really am. I have also lost and gained the last 10 pounds in the last two years. I would really like to have a healthier diet and have my wieght fit my 5'3" frame a bit more naturally. I just started the MFP this past week with my first weight in coming Monday morning. . Nice to meet you!! Please feel free to call me PJ

    Hi Mel,
    I'm a 49-year-old guy in Tasmania and I'm attempting to lose about 20kg (40lb).
    I started using my fitness pal after I started implementing a healthier diet and exercise regime.
    Last week I rejoined the gym after a four year break.
    And I am making progress towards my goal. Having said that, I was so delighted when I did my weekly weigh in last Friday I was a but naughty with my diet.
    Feel free to friend me if you wish.
    kind regards,

    Ben

    Hi! I'll be 45 in March. I have quite a bit more weight to lose than you. I'd like to lose at least 100. I've been big all of my life and for once, I'd like to know how it feels to be a little smaller. I'm married and have 2 girls, ages 17 and 14. My family loves to eat, especially my husband, he's a meat and taters kind of guy. I find it hard to cook for them when I'm trying to lose weight. I would love for you to add me, I need all the help I can get! Good luck to everyone!!
