    I'm a 41 yr old mom to 4 kiddos! Trying to lose at least 60lbs. Trying to change the way I eat but having a hard time getting motivated to exercise!! You can add me--trying to get motivated.

    I sent a friend request.

    I'm 44. I have four kids age 7, 7, 12, 14. I'm half way to losing 60lbs. So much easier to gain and harder to lose now compared to when I was 30 - and my knees are more like 65 I think :P

    It is hard to be patient but all the inspiration from seeing others do it day to day is great!

    Hi, I'm 41 and have a 6 & 8 yr old. Would like to lose 15 pounds but having a hard time because I can't exercise. Would love some motivating friends (and to be one to others) if anyone would like to send a friend request. (Please leave a short message)

    My mind still thinks I'm 20 but unfortunately my body doesn't. :-( Still have hope that I'll rock a bikini one day (one can dream! ). :happy:

    42 and have MS have been struggling with weight loss for the past 4 years. I used to walk a lot but finding it harder to do now. I continue to walk but it is just a 1/2 mile at a time versus 5 miles a day I used to do. I am finding that this 1200 cal. diet is very hard but so far 10 days in.:smokin:

    56, (is that too old?) out of shape, but started losing in January and starting workouts tomorrow. I'd love more motivation. I have the best friend who helps me every day! My daughter and I are starting the 30 day shred tomorrow. Every bit of encouragement will help. I also love to hear about everyone's successes, big and little. Count me in.

    45 here! I am definitely finding this journey to be a tougher one than when I was younger, but I've found setting small goals are making it more achievable (as well as being kind to myself and picking myself up when I've had a bad day).

    Hi there! I will be turning 40 this year! 4-0!?!?! Where did the time go? I'm actually feeling my best at this age than I've ever been! I've put my health and well being first! I'm making good food choices; drinking lots of water; exercising! Here's to being the best role model I can be for my 6 year old twin boys!!! Nothing like having more support with people who share my same goals!!! ;)

    Hi, I am 40, 2 kids 17 & 10 (loves of my life). Just getting back into it... my knees crack and pop every morning but I keep on going. Doing the color run next weekend and running (i hope) the foam fest in May. 5 total surgeries in the abdominal region and can't get rid of the pooch. :(
