    Hi, are you in your 40's or 50's and battling with the bulge?

    I turned 49 in January and while my ticker reflects a smaller goal, I actually have about 90# more to lose. Feel free to friend me.

    Hi! yes... I am in my early 50's and started on the MediThin diet. Restricting carbs but lots of protein. It's my first day- yay... looking to lose about 46 pounds. It definitely gets harder as the years pass :( just started recording my foods on this site.... Wish everyone a big hello!

    Hi, I'm Kris and am 45. After 40 it is harder, but this site really works. Log in religiously. When I stopped logging daily, I gained 15 pounds. Stay with it. I used the Flat Belly Diet book to help my eating habits and this to log my food and exercise. It does work if you do. "Start slow and taper off". Just kidding :-}

    Hi, I'm Judy! I'll be 52 years young in July and I want to lose about 20-25 lbs and get back in shape. I have found that the older I become, the more difficult it is to lose weight. but, I'm not going to give up this time!!

    I'm soon to be 44 and just getting started on anew and healthier life. I have so many changes that are going on right now. I will be having a major surgery at the end of this month and have a goal to be 15 lbs lighter. I will be non active for 6-8 weeks after that so I need to start at a good point... I'm also trying to plan better meals. Thanks to all those that recommended cookinglight.com. (Tried the Philly cheesesteak two nights ago and I loved it and so did my Boyfriend and his daughter..)

    Just moved to a new city and hoping to make some friends... Both here in the Salt Lake City area and at MFP...

    Good luck everyone!

    I park at the end of the parking lot at the mall...my 10 year old asked me why we can't park closer like other people. But hopefully I am instilling the need for exercise in her.
    I loved the post! I do the same thing and my daughter laughs at me all the time!

    I am 54 years old and still trying to get slimmer. I have been on a diet-modification my entire life. Now my doctors want me on a gluten-free and casein (dairy)-free diet, and I am doing a medicinal de-tox for fibromyalgia. Hopefully this straightens me all out. Best of luck to everyone.

    I turn 50 next month and was over 300 pounds after the New Year started, I was miserable, out of shape and hated where my life was going. MFP has been a Godsend for me and I am so glad to have it working with me. Good luck in your weight loss endeavor...

    I'm 40 & have 40 more pounds to lose. I certainly appreciate encouragement, as well. I find it very motivating to have friends on here that actually post comments from time to time to offer support. I will admit that I enjoy looking at other's daily food journals because it gives me ideas on low calorie meals......so feel free to add me.....but I prefer friends who have their site preferences to allow friends to view their journal. If that sounds like you (or anyone else wanting an online friend) please do forward me an ADD request. :) You can check out my profile for more info about me.
