in Introduce Yourself
I began my weight-loss journey (again) last year as I was getting close to the big 4-0 and realized that I really enjoyed my life and want to live it as long as possible! I managed to lose about 55 pounds with WW .. but my motivation waned and I gained back 15 just before the New Year. With my hubby's encouragement, I decided to try MFP which I started in January. I've been doing to the gym off / on and trying to manage my caloric intake.. however, I haven't managed to lose more than 7 pounds. I would like to find some weight loss buddies to help push me forward on this challenging journey.

    Feel free to friend me. I'm 41, and have been at this seriously (this time!) for about 9 months. I've lost about 60 pounds so far, hoping for 30-40 more. Good luck with your journey!

    Hello! I've just started - I'll be 40 at the end of the yearso I'm keen to look good and feel better. I want my hub to take me on a nice beach holiday (so I want to look "not bad" in a swimsuit - not expecting miracles!). We can support each other. You've done so well so far even if you did put a little bit back on. You've still lost a lot which is really good. Wish I could do that too!

    Hi, not sure how all this forum stuff works but I would love to have motivational buddies. I will be 40 in August and I really need to shift some weight before then! I hope we can all inspire and motivate each other.

    You know you can do this, since you've already had success. Just take it one day at a time and move on from your mistakes. Send a friend request if you want. Peer support is really helpful!! :o)
