    Does 40 1/2 count?! I'm looking for the same thing! Anyone in or around the Nashville, TN area? I would like a walking buddy on Tuesdays, Thursdays & maybe 1 day on the weekend. EAT WELL, EXERCISE, STAY FOCUSED & ENJOY LIFE~Laura :~)

    :happy: Hi
    I have been on and off MFP for awhile but never actually followed it through. I have got 2 stone 9 pounds to lose and would love some like minded friends over 40 for the journey. I have also joined scottish slimmers but I am going to record my food/exercise on MFP. I am 47, married with 2 teenagers. I am not that keen on exercise but enjoy walking my dog. I am going on a cruise next year and would love to be at target weight for this. If you can provide support and encouragement and would like some back please feel free to join me.

    Nearly 41, been on a diet for over 20 years. Finally decided I needed to do this properly to set an example to my children. I want to lose 4.5 stone and have given myself a sensible goal of 9 months to do it. Working on a steady half a stone a month loss. I saw my doctor 2 weeks ago and he prescribed me Xenical and advised I used this app. 2kg down in 2 weeks and I am very happy but would love the support from any of you wonderful ladies on the same journey xx

    I am 43 years old and need to lose 40 pounds. I have absolutely no willpower. The more I think about losing weight the more I eat. It is a viscous cycle. I am trying MFP again. Could really use some friends in the same boat to offer support.

    Hello,

    I too am over 40 and have just started as of two days ago. I dont know if I have lost any weight yet. I would like support as well in this journey.

    I started Weight Watchers, but was not seeing any results with it. I have been working out a lot more lately, but was only seeing the scale dip 1/2 lb. a week, (if I was lucky).

    With My fitness pal, I can see where I am eating a lot of hidden sugar. I have yet to stay at or under my calories, and the other things yet.

    I need HELP!!!

    Hey there, I'm 48 and 11 stone 2 pounds, aiming to get to 9 stone 7 pounds by June next year. I have very high cholesterol (8.3) and the Doc says lose weight or go on statins. My choice, so I have been dieting and exercising for the last 2 weeks. Joined MFP yesterday.

    I did 3.9k km on the elliptical trainer today and my husband said he could hear me panting and gasping for breath from the other side of the house. I thought I was dying, LOL.

    i'm happy to support and be supported.

    Hello! I am 41 years old and am looking for support from others that are going through the same struggles as I am going through. I have been using myfitnesspal and just figured out how to get to the communities to get acquainted with more people that are trying to lose weight as well. I only want females to respond, though, please. Thanks!

    Hey! Good luck in your journey!!

    40 here, got the exercise thing working well ... not so great on the dieting ... pretty good at cheering my mfp friends on!

    Still got weight I want to lose but in no rush. Been here nearly 500 days and work out 3-4x a week (lifting, karate, walking).

    Anyone feel free to add me if you need support, and can offer support in return :) xxx

    Hi All,

    I am 41 and really need some support. I have tried dieting so many times and fall off. I have just started at the Wharton Clinic as well and they have encouraged me to use this site for tracking.

    So anyone that wants to add me please do. I would love to trade ideas on what works for other people.

    Dawn :)

    Hi. I'm new here (again) and would love to "meet" some friends for support/encouragement. As everyone knows, it's not easy getting back on the wagon.

    Hello, I turned 45 in May. This is my second time on MFP and this time something is working. I'm down 21 pounds in a little over 2 months. I'm here daily and VERY dedicated. I would love to have any one of you add me as a friend, I can use any and all supportive friends I can get. I live in the Pacific NW and mainly walk for exercise although, I think its time to step it up and add more to my plan.

    Hello..46, soon to be 47 and single (no kids) here in the Midwest. 5'4" and just went to the doctor last week weighing in 10 # more than last year at 190. :-( I about cried. I know I have what feels like a long way and 50# to lose. Just started MFP last Wednesday and have gotten great feedback from Dr & nurses who use MFP as well. I lost 45#'s years ago in my 20's and it seemed easy back then. A whole week of sticking faithfully to my plan and didn't seem to drop any weight. My blood work came back normal which made me feel a bit worse..(I guess I was hoping for an excuse for this weight gain) but with MFP I am seeing where I was truly going wrong, yet when I dieted before, I lost almost 8 #'s just the first week! Is there anything I can do to help give my metabolism a boost or is that just a myth?

    I CAN'T GIVE UP...but why won't the weight come off?
