    I'm 44 with about 11 pounds to lose. I want to lose more but that's my current mini-goal. Anyone who'd like more friends, feel free to add me.

    I'm 48 and feel great! Anyone who LOGS and SUPPORTS their pals can add me :)

    DW said I get three dumb questions a day, so I have another. How does one go about logging and supporting their friends? Do you look at their progress and send them messages? I noticed you have close to 100 friends. That's a lot of logging and supporting!

    I was going to add a few people but now I'm a little scared. I don't want to be that deadbeat friend no one wants.

    It's not the a younger age group makes bad friends. It's just that when you hit a certain age things start to slow down and it's not easy and knowing others in your age group really helps. If you need the extra motivation feel free to add me if you want :)

    40 and above? Nice ageism lol , Because 25 year olds and 30 year olds make awful friends

    Hi there. I'm 48 and re-starting today. I can tell you for sure that this site works. It did for me 3 years ago when I lost 56 pounds that I regained in the last year and a half after a really lousy period of all kinds of losses and "stuff".

    The support here is so important. Please add me. I'll be your cheerleader if you'll be mine! :)
  • I'm 44 and hoping to lose another 55 pounds. Please feel free to add me...everyone is welcomed to add me. I can definitely use so more motivation! Together, we can achieve our goals. :)
