I will be 47 in a few weeks & need to lose 25 more pounds to be at my goal.

Feel free to add me.

Almost 43 (I think). I'm down 20 from my high and have at least 20 to go. 30-35 more would be ideal.

I work at home also and if I don't force myself to get out and run, I get almost zero exercise otherwise. I started walking, and later running, about 6 months ago. I've started incorporating light strength training the last few weeks and I like where it's headed.

We can do it!

Hi everyone, my name is Laura, I am 47 and I have been on MFP for almost a year, have lost over 40 lbs but have about 15 more to go. I purchased a fitbit last year and love it, I also try to go to the gym for strength training. I am always welcoming new friends on MFP. Please add me and if you have a fitbit you can add me there as well. fourboys4i@yahoo.com.

Looking forward to new friends. Laura

Hi I am going to be 45 this year and I have a goal of 45 pounds to lose. I was on this site a couple of years ago and lost 25 but I have since put it all back on. I am looking forward to getting back to a healthy weight with diet and exercise. Feel free to add me I am going to also need all the support I can get.

I just turned 40 and could stand to lose 20 Lbs. I have been on MFP for a while, though I have not been that active in the past months due to deaths in the family, tearing my ACL and a long distance move. SO here I am trying to take charge of my life again. I need to have my ACL fixed it will be my 4th ACL surgery (third on that knee), my blood pressure has been creeping up so before I have the surgery I want to get that under control. My DH wants me to do my ACL ASAP but I know what that feels like and it will be over a year before my knee will feel "normal", and honestly I am terrified of gaining even more weight after the surgery. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Hi Laura,

I started back to MFP a few weeks ago. Would love to lose 60 lbs, but will settle for whatever I am meant to lose. I'm 47 and was recently diagnosed as being "pre-diabetic" so I know I need to get this weight off. I have been incorporating clean eating into my diet since January 1st and have lost 9 lbs so far. The pounds aren't coming off as fast as I hoped, but I'm not giving up. Feel free to add me.....we can keep each other motivated.

Thanks!
Marla

Hi there,

HeathIsKey2014 · February 2014

Hello.

I'm 37 with over a hundred pounds to go....Is that close enough? I would love to support each other in our weigh loss goals.

I'm a 45 year old desk jockey hoping to lose 25 lbs or so. I've been a member of MFP for about a year and had great success with it when I first joined. At some point I got distracted along the way and stopped using it for a while - but I'm now back, determined, and thoroughly enjoying it.

This time 'round I'm hoping to participate more in the MFP community in the hopes that I'll avoid further distractions.

Feel free to add me.

Cheers,
Bob

Hi everyone. My name is Tammy, I'm 45 years old and I would like to lose 45 pounds. Weighed in yesterday at 185lbs and decided it was time to do something. Hoping to join my kids at the pool this year instead of sitting in my chair with my capris on like I did all last summer. Atkins Phase 1 is my plan right now.

MamaGab92 · February 2014

Hello there! My name is Laura and my story is similar to a lot here. I just turned 47 and I need to lose about 40-45 lbs. just to get back to a normal BMI. I just started a reboot of my wellness plan. I've tried several changes in the past (I lost 20 lbs on Weight Watchers a couple of years ago and gained it all back plus some). At this point I'm trying to figure out what works for me. At 47 I really feel strongly that my hormones are all whacked out and affecting my weight among other things. I'm trying to figure out how to handle that. Plus I also have Lupus so that is an issue too. I'm not getting any younger so I have to do something.
