Just starting today. I'm 49 and need to lose 30 pounds to get my health and life back.0

I am 42 and have a least 30 pounds to loose. I am not new to MFP but I have been gone for a while. I need some motivation and support. I am a mother of 3 boys, student (want to graduate before they do) and small business owner. I have noticed in the last couple years that the weight has crept on and I am no longer comfortable in my skin. None of my "people" are overweight so it is hard to keep it in check. Please feel free to add me I would love to have a group for support and motivation again.

Welcome all - feel free to add me as a friend - it is hard to keep up with these posts (haven't quite figured out an easy way to manage). Wishing everyone a wonderful and healthy week - stay active, journal in MFP and drink water...If you had a misstep on the weekend (like me) - put it behind you

I'm in - 48 and need to loose another 30lbs (already lost 10 since Dec 8th on the Medifast diet).
Todays promise: I promise I will take care of me today. I will eat my 5 medifast meals, measure my Lean and Green, and drink all my water. I will not engage in self-pity for not being able to eat things off plan, because I am doing this to be happier and healthier.0 -

Hi all, I am 43 and ready to be fit again. Got a bit more to go than 30 lbs but I am super motivated and could use some friends who are as well. Cheers!0

Anyone else have a tempting weekend ahead? Tell us what you do or have done.0

I lost a pound this week but also decided to log my waist and hip measurements so that even if the scale sees no change I can see change in other ways. I'm thinking with measurements it might be better to do that on a monthly basis whereas with the scale weekly? Also I haven't figured out how to add people as friends ? Thanks for all of your support!0

I'm 41 and need to loose 30lbs. I'm at my heaviest weight ever. Started two weeks ago and have been doing pretty good. I've lost 4 lbs and motivated to continue!
Wishing all of you will power tomorrow.
My strategy is to eat before going to a super bowl party. I don't need to be tempted.
Good luck!0 -

Hello. 44 and 30 to burn.0

Hi all. I am 41 and would like to lose 35 to 40 lbs. I have been tracking my food just fine but struggling with pushing myself more with exercising. I make it to the gym at least 3-4 times a week but know that in order to see results, I need to step up my workout. I am working on this. Please feel free to add me and I will add those that said it's ok to add. Thanks.0

Great Idea. I really need to do that too. I've only had a tiny weight loss this week so I'm a little bummed. I know I've had a lot on non scale victories in the last 30days since I started. So I have to tell myself chin up, slow and steady wins the race.
Saw this on the interweb and I think I'm gonna do this so I will stop obsessing over that scale.

Sorry I this the button too many times.. LOL. I took a proactive approach to super bowl and had a liquid lunch and then I made some homemade white Chili for the game. Yum.

Welcome to February everyone!!! We are still on track and getting healthier and fitter everyday......Just bought a new scale, so excited to be able to see those numbers now, last one had itsybitsy numbers, sure it has nothing to do with being 47. Plan of attack for today lots of chopped veggies ready and chicken marinating for the grill, started the day with yoga and just going to walk to the store for popcorn. I also have to work on my tutu so that will keep my hands busy. Have an amazing day everyone and take time to celebrate what you accomplished last month :-)0
