40 years old and new to group and need some accountability friends. After 4 kids want to lose 75 pounds of that baby weight that never seemed to go away! :wink: My willpower lately has been next to nil and really trying to motivate myself and others cheering / jeering could really help. Anyone else need the same?

    I am happy to cheer you on. I am a little bit older than you and half way to my 60 lb goal! I have a willpower tip to share. You won't eat it if you don't bring it into the house. Kids will adapt! You can do this, accept baby steps forward. Small changes that you can live with forever! Don't try to do everything at once or you will crash and burn! Welcome!!

    Hello, I will help cheer you on, 47 and would like to loose around 45lbs.. I suffer from several illnesses which make it hard for me some days to stay motivated. I recommitted to this on Jan 5 so far I have gotten at least some exercise in daily.. I do have a question should I stay at my 1200calories or can I eat something else once the exercise is taken off. So lets be friends and cheer for each other.

    I couldn't survive on 1200 so I read somewhere around here about eating back half the calories you exercise. I have found I maintain but don't lose if I eat all the calories back. Good Luck

    I also have some health issues and find I am getting depressed often. I too am having to recommit. I need a motivation / accountability partner and we seem to share some common issues.

    I am also seeking an accountability/motivation partner. Have already began to slide in my fitness program this year and am looking to recommit. This group seems to be exactly what I am looking for. Looking forward to re-inventing myself with MyFitnessPal, 40 & Fabulous, and new found friends. Please add me.

    I would love to partner up with you. Some people just don't understand when you are having a bad day with your Heath unless they suffer also. So I am going to friend you.

    Feel free to friend me! Can't have too many friends, right? Having a good network of friends is key to staying on track and accountable!

    I'm 45 yrs old, 5'4" and am wondering if I am hitting pre-menopause??? It just isn't as easy to lose weight as it was before! Grrrrr.....

    Yes, we are hitting pre menopause! It's so much fun, lol. Feel free to add me too! I'm nearly 46, 4 children myself, since September I've been on somewhat of an overhaul with my diet (LESS pasta, carboholic). I had gained 20 pounds, with 10 of those in 2014-which woke me up quickly!
