    I'd love any friend adds. I just recently came out of lurker status here as I've finally gotten serious about my weight loss. Being quiet and solitary may have its purpose but it's not helped me much. So imagine my happiness to discover this thread and not being alone :)

    (mid 40's no kids and sadly no relationship either :()

    We should start a group for 40+ women, single and no kids.

    I fall into this bracket, and I don't even have a cat.

    GREAT idea ... only let's stretch it a bit and add us in our late thirties :)

    Right here, don't have and don't want! Most of my friends have kids and I have a niece and nephew....that's good enough for me. I just live with my two dogs and I'm happy about it!

    Same here ... i have a nephew and he is more than enough ... my two dogs and two cats are enough for me too ;)

    I never wanted kids. I am very happy with children. I have been working with kids all of my life. Kids are not for every woman. I adore my nieces and nephew. They are all adults now. My life is happy and full with my girl friends. We travel to different countries today and we have a wonderful time. We are all dating men. Their kids are all adults as well. So it works out for all of us. We are just enjoying life.

    35 and no kids and it doesn't look like there are any on the horizon. I agree that it's hard to find people my age without kids!

    Glad to see other 20 somethings respond to this and say they have no interest in having children.
    I'm 26 with no plans or desires to have kids.
    I live in a rural community in central IL so it makes people totally crazy.
    My bf is totally content with it too which is nice.

    I'm 44, married to my sweetheart of 10 years and have no kids due to infertility. Your story pretty much sums up mine: tried to have kids around 37, went through the infertility process of needles and hormones for 3 years and gained weight throughout the process, money finally ran out and I finally had to make a choice. I took my life back and joined WW and lost a good amount of weight only to get back to bad eating habits. While I'm fairly active (exercise 4-5x a week or run races), my eating habits our all over the place. I'm looking to get toned since gravity is working it's magic.

    Meanwhile, I'm over the idea of children, feel young at heart, and am intent to age gracefully if I can help it. It will be nice to motivate each other throughout our weight loss process.

    47, no kids (but love kids; I'm a teacher), never married.

    Prefer other people's kids (ones I can send home at the end of the day).

    Don't own any animals, but I think the neighbour's cat has adopted me since she hasn't gone home for two years, lol!
