in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! My name is Alissa. I recently moved to Orlando Florida and I am desperate to lose weight before my 40th birthday, which is at the end of May. I am looking for anyone who wants to light heartedly motivate each other to get to our goals. I am easy, laid back and love to have fun (dude, I miss the alcohol already!) I am a mother of 3 and have been married for almost 16 years. Currently I have over 50 lbs to lose and I have decided that any weight gone by my birthday is better than none! So, if you need an easy going, real, fitness pal...let me know! I am looking forward to making new friends and looking good in my new life : )

    Hi Alissa....I'm Debbie. New here and 43.....do I qualify? lol I can relate to the 50lbs to lose, I'm so tired of lugging this blubber around. I'm a mother of 2 from Bellevue Ne. I know I need a source of inspiration, or just at least someone to hold myself a lil bit accountable. I'm in if you want to pal around for the journey :wink:

    I will be 40 at the end of July, and I would like to be more fit then than I am now. Funny how a milestone birthday can inspire us to get a move on.

    Hi all, Im turning 40 next year and really need friends and support to help me shift a few pounds, quite a few actually,lol. I live in Nottinghamshire in Uk and would be grateful for anyone to friend me on here so we can support and help each other. I have done it in the past so hopefully can do it again.

    You can add me. I am 44 years old and will be 45 in July. I am fairly new to myfitnesspal so I am kinda of getting started with this but am looking for support. I have lost a total of 100 lbs. It has taken about four years but have lost 33 since having my 3rd child last year. My starting weight was 300 lbs when I started this journey.

    Feel free to add me...I have lost 19 pounds...need to lose a good 50. I am recovering from a badly sprained ankle that has slowed my progress, but I am hanging in there. I don't want to regain. I would love to lose as much as I can by May myself. Taking it one pound at a time...dang ankle! I want to move forward...one direction only. I will do my best to keep up with you.

    Hi! I'm Kathy and I joined a week ago, though I'm already over the 40 lump by one year! I'd love to get at least some of this off by my 42nd birthday! Feel free to add me, |'ll be around for some time as I have a decent amount of weight to lose. I wish all of you the best!

    Yeah!!!! There are some truly awesome people out there! I totally believe that everyone must choose the right journey for them to lose weight, I am not one to judge anyone! Why must there be so many Negative Nellies out there! I am sure no one will diet exactly like me but not everyone has the same goals or wants to look like I want to either. Kind words and support is all I need...and I am willing to give it to anyone who needs it, no matter the age, size or diet plan!! I am so excited about all of my new friends on here...This journey is going to ROCK!!!
