    Hello and Welcome. I have also been an up and down dieter for my whole life. I decided in 2014 to make the change. I told everyone that 2014 was my year. I am 46 and welcome new friends. Anyone feel free to send friends request.

    Hello, I am 49 and never really dieted however over the past 7yrs I put on 30lbs! Yup the 40s have not been good to my body and I would like to get close to where I use to be before I turn 50. I have no one to blame but myself as I enjoy my wine that I make. Friend request are sent, I log on here daily. Look forward to sharing the journey with you and any others who want to be MFP friends.

    Hi I'm Becky, I'm turning 40 soon (September), I log on most everyday and am supportive when I have time to be and if I don't I don't say anything. I'm not a fan of the thoughtless "atta boys" or whatever. I would love to have some new friends .... beware though.... at the moment I am eating low carb, so if you don't like my choices please don't add me.

    Please add me :smile:

    Hi all!
    42 now and put back on 20 lbs of the 30 lbs I lost 12 years ago with WW. Add to that low thyroid, creeping cholesterol and care taking of my MIL with Alzheimers. Trying to put on muscle and get fit for the upcoming motorcycling season which starts this month! :)

    Add me if you wish. I am looking for 2014 to be my year as well. I have working on reaching my goal for almost 2 yrs now, however have lost some of my motivation. Accountability is a huge thing and more friends might just help me as well . Good luck.

    Story sounds soooo similar :) I am 48 and never, ever needed to watch anything I ate until about 5 years ago. Now I look in the mirror and notice the 20 extra pounds that have snuck up on me. I am six feet tall so no one seems to have noticed but my girlie figure has definitely gotten curvier. Just joined the gym two weeks ago. This long Canadian winter has been awful :P

    Oh! You crazy kids! Just wait - you go to bed at 49 and wake up 50 and it gets BETTER! Just kidding. It really does get harder to lose. If I had only listened to my mother...

    I'm soon-to-be 42 and new to MFP. My highest weight was 286 and I lost 60 lbs doing WW. I have since outgrown WW, gained back 20 lbs before joining MFP. Now I'm back on track and looking for others who share the same interests and goals.

    43 here and have the same issue as many of you. Up and down my whole life. I am looking to make some good life style changes so it doesn't creep back on like it has so many times before. Some days I seem to remember this goal other days........

    I'm just about to turn 46, and I'm a preschool teacher. I fooled myself for years, telling myself that all the moving around I do while teaching my class was enough to keep the weight off. And it did pretty much keep it in check for a long time. But in my late 30s, the metabolism changed and I got lazy and the weight piled on. I've been on this site for a year and a half and I love it.

    Hi, I am 42 and I recently put back on 20+ pounds of the 45 I lost a few years ago. I moved across the country and used it as an excuse to get lazy and slip back into my old ways. I became a grandmother at 40 and I am determined to be a healthy, fit and active Nana! Feel free to add me!

    Hi, I'm 46 and pretty much in the same boat. Have been struggling with my weight for a few years now (ever since gallbladder removal) and i am determined to lose some serious weight!!! I think I'm going to start the 90 day baby body challenge on Monday. Anyone interested in doing it also???
    I can also use some encouragement and friends here! :smile:
