Hi y'all! 40 year old looking to lose 60+ pounds!

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel. I'm 40 years old and I live in rainy SC. I've almost completely dumped WW which I have been using since January, and I have been yoyo'ing with the same 10 pounds for most of that time. Well except for the major off track binge on moose tracks ice cream that derailed me for a few weeks. I'm back in the right mind set and I'm ready to do this. I'd love to have some friends to share the journey with for 2 way support! Thanks and I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi, I'm Emma from New Zealand. I'll be 40 in October. Although I wont have a clue what anything in your food diary is ("Moose Tracks ice cream" for example) I'll happily support you in your efforts if you'd like to add me.

Hey there, always great to have someone you own age on board i turned 40 this year. Im very fit, very strong, but still yoyoing my %of body fat - food is my weakness (pretty much any food:!) add me if you like.

Hi Rachel,

I'm 43, in Madison, Wisconsin, and I lean towards a paleo/primal-ish diet, but I'm no perfectionist! I'm also starting weightlifting tomorrow. Feel free to add me!

Hi Rachel! I am Nancy - been on MFP awhile - lost, regained, losing again! I am 43, almost 44, and need to lose at least another 60 pounds. I am on here regularly, so feel free to add me.

Hello Rachel, I'm Nika (neeka). I'm 39 and I've been climbing the "fluffy" ladder for about 8 years. I'm about 100 lbs over what I want to be. But in the last 2 weeks after changing my diet significantly and starting to walk some (pains in my leg and ankle have kept me from doing that) I'm down 4 lbs. I'm really excited about that and plan to keep up what I'm doing. It's really hot in Vegas right now over 100 degrees most days and as high as 120 on other days, so I don't go outside much. Anyway, I'm more than willing to share my journey and my eating habits with you, if you want.

PS...where is everyone getting that cute little signature monitor? I want one.

Hello,
I am 40 and from the St. Louis area. I tried WW too and found it expensive and unrewarding. Doing much better with MFP. Moostracks are my favorite, but if I measure out a serving it keeps me honest and on track. Please feel free to add me.

Hi, feel free to add me. I'm 42, looking to nock off about 10-15 pounds.

Hello, feel free to add me also.. the more support the better, been on here a while, but gained back most of what i lost.. Ready to get serious again.. Mid 40's here

I'm 42, have similar to loose, and have done WW in the past too. The first time I got close to my goal weight of 157 (or maybe it was a little lower.) I was down to a size 14 from a 22, loving myself, but had plateaued for a month straight. They kept telling me I HAD to get to goal, but I eventually quit in frustration. They preached that you were supposed to love yourself, which I had, and yet nope, give us more money until you drop that last 5-10 lbs. Anyway...I gained it all back, tried doing WW online a few years ago, but for the price it wasn't worth it. Plus, I got tired of being told that nuts are healthy and so good for you and you should eat them, but then with how many points they were, I didn't dare.

I'm not saying WW is bad. It's just...I hear you. I like it here much better as it's easier to track food, macros, and exercise. I put everything in and the calculations are done for me. I can even add a food to see where it'll get me if I eat it and then decide if I want to or not.

Sorry for the ramble. Feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:
