    You can add me, I just turned 46 last week. To be at my ideal weight I would need to lose 70 more lbs but I'm shooting for 30 more as my first goal. This site has really kept me motivated and I feel accountable when I have to log my food.

    Hi Tina,
    My name is Lisa and I'm 47. Started MFP last spring and have lost about 105 lbs. My tracker only shows 90 lost because I wasnt real sure about how to use MFP and I didnt record initial months loss. Anyway, I need to loose another 40 to be at my "ideal" weight but right now I am looking at a goal of another 20 and then go from there. What I love about MFP is that it holds you accountable but it also gives you the freedom to choose what you eat. For me, it's all about balance and knowing that as long as I track my food and balance out my days, it has really helped keep me going. I have tried them all, the rigid, " you can only eat this or that" type of diets and either gave up or lost a lot but then once I tried eating normally, boom, the weight came back. Feel free to add me.
    Good luck!

    Feel free to add me. I am 43, not new to MFP, but started over on January 1st. I had 101 pounds to lose when I began this leg of the journey. I am committed to daily logging and making changes that I can live with throughout the remainder of my lifetime. I am a cheerleader by nature and love to surround myself with like-minded people.

    Congrats to you on making the committment to improving your health and level of fitness. I think you will find MFP to be full of supportive, kind, and encouraging/motivational folks.

    Hello there! Congrats on making a lifestyle change. MFP is a wonderful tool to help you in those efforts. Endomondo is also good to add in that arena. I was afraid to begin a change due to always being told that it is harder after 40, but what I am finding is that, little changes here and there, are so much easier to accomplish and stick with. I am 51 and I had lost 10 lbs before I started using MFP in January, so my total loss is 42. This is a great way to keep track of what you eat, how you feel and to get some fantastic advice.

    Please feel free to add me and MUCH SUCCESS to you on your new journey!

    Hello... I am 46 with an 60-80lbs goal. I hate to exercise, but have been MAKING myself walk at least 3 times a week around my office complex where I work. It does help to have someone you work with support and walk with you to motivate you! Welcome and good luck to you. Tammy

    45 years old and 70 pounds to lose here! I started to use this site last year and then gave up on my 'diet'. I came back this week and this time it's no longer a diet but a proper change of lifestyle and habits.
    I'm already feeling better after just a few days. Motivation and encouragement really makes a huge difference (as well as being able to show off any loss!).
    It would be great if you added me.
