    This past week, my job started a Biggest Loser at work program & we have about 80 people signed up :smile: One of the tools we were handed out was a link to this wonderful website. For the next 8 weeks I'll be joining Curves & hoping to lose the 18 lbs I've gained since leaving another weight loss program last fall.

    Meanwhile I took the paperwork home & showed it to my fiancee who also signed up here :heart: & we're doing it together :drinker:

    My name is Debbie, his is Jim. We're 47 & 51 & live in Upstate New York. We both need to lose over 100 lbs so hoping that we'll stick this out for the long run. If you are too please friend me! :bigsmile:

    Looking forward to meeting some new friends & have fun on this great site :flowerforyou:

    I'm trying to lose inches more than weight at this point, cleaning up my eating habits, ditching diets and thinking more like an athlete - performance improvements. At 48, it's a bigger challenge every year! Add me and we'll support each other on this journey.

    Hi, I am 43 and since starting MFP in Jan 1st, I have lost 13 pounds. Hoping to keep going as I have about 85 more to go. Over the past 3 years I have lost 55 pounds and it has been very slow going....stalled and just broke thru another plateau by...get this...adding breakfsat..LOL Would love the support from others in the same age range as it is indeed harder to loose once over 30 and again even more once over 40...I get the most encouragement and support from my friends on here and would love more :-)

    Hello! I'm 54 and need to lose some of this gut while at the same time add some muscle. Up until my mid 30's I was one of those people that could eat anything she wanted and not gain an ounce. Well, between menopause and the cessation of a 30 year-old smoking habit, I really packed on some extra pounds. Even though I lost a lot of it, some of it is creeping back. I need a lifestyle change!

    Questions: How long did it take? What was your food regimen? What was your exercise routine?

    Congrats on achieving/maintaining!!!
