    I just turned 40 last weekend. Proud husband and father (son is 4 years old). I try to stay active, and I'm feeling good about my current weight and want to stay there. I'm all about wanting to help and encourage others. Feel free to add me!

    OH thats me... I am 40 something... I have two in college and one left at home... even though its summer and the oldest boy came come and he and his other 20 year old friends are always hungry and I am always cooking... I use to be a body builder at their age and now I have 70 lbs to loose. It is amazing how life can change. I weigh now more than I did during my pregnacy's.

    I am a team leader for the summer slim down challange and if you are not on this catch the next group in Sept. it is great and we all encourage each other to loose weight. Feel free to add me... I log on every day and always giving my two cents either in humor or encouragment. I am also one of those that know it all about weight loss and getting fit.. (owned a cheer gym) but kept putting those carbs in my mouth..

    I sent a friend request. I am 47 years old and have 2 daughters (22& 20). Have lost over 50 pounds all together in the past 15 months, joined MFP in March and have lost 21 since then. I hope to lose at least 15 more pounds. I love to comment on status and share tips and support.

    Anyone feel free to add me :)

    I am also 43 with 5 kids. I got tired of getting out of breath walking up the stairs so I started running. Now that exercise and running has became a big part of my life I find myself without a lot in common with my friends and would like to find a new circle of friends. Feel free to add me.

    Hi! 42 here with a 2 year old! I also have three step children (26, 25 & 25) Married for 10 years to my best friend. We were empty nesters for a few years and then God blessed us with our sweet daughter after being told I could never have children! Thank you Lord! Life certainly has changed....along with my weight! phew. I lost 45 pounds before starting MFP and looking forward to the loss of the next 40. I follow a low carb diet, learning about clean eating and living while being a stay at home mom that loves gardening, photography and crafts.

    Feel free to add me. I just joined about 5 days ago. Anyone else too...could use the friends and support! ;)

    Hi I'm 43 and current SAHM to 2 boys aged 15 & 12 and 2 girls aged 10 & 5. I've been eating clean, doing cardio 5 days a week and a weight circuit at my local gym. I also use advocare products to help me along (no that's not a sales pitch, just a fact). I'm down 41lbs with 70ish more pounds to go. This is my crossroads and I plan on succeeding this go around no holds barred! Excess weight has been a chronic companion of mine since a child. Now that I'm 40ish its much harder to take off but its going...just slowly!

    I am 40 and I feel it. My pic is a bit outdated. I joined this site in hopes that it will help me make favorable changes with my diet, learn from others on here, and make some new friends along the way.
