    Hello. I am 45 and am also starting again. A few years ago I lost 65lbs and have since gained back 45. My husband is also using MFP and exercising. He has lost more. I keep telling myself it's not a competion (but it's hard when he has lost 15 and I have lost only 2lbs.) I want to lose 65lbs again and get down to 175. I think fitting into a large size would be amazing. I have been an XL/2XL for so long.

    I have started increasing my activity and will start weight training again soon. I found this combo helped me last time. This time I am using the ellyptical because I strained my knee using the treadmill/running. I am trying to follow eat more 2 weigh less. I Calculated my BMR (basal metobolic rate. mine is 1780) and TDEE (total Daily energy expenditure using my fitbit hr average for the last 3 wks as 2750). I am trying to eat between those. Using those calculations I figured out my BMR is higher than I thought and I need to eat more. I started with a goal of 1650 and am trying to increase to 1850 calories/day.

    Im 40ish and I joined fitness pal 4 years ago. If only I would have had the persistence and motivation to stick with it then. I'm hoping to lose 45 to 50 pound this time. Scratch that, I'm going to lose 45 to 50 pounds this time. I like to joke and laugh, and sometimes am a little snarky. Who want to be friends?

    I am 47 and gained back 20 that I lost last year. I will say the older you get the cravings change so watch out! I never liked sweets until recently and feel the urges to eat them and sodium more frequently. I am not going to the pool this summer looking like this!

    I'm 34 and need to lose about 60 lbs. I've got diabetes and want there to be a baby in my future, so getting healthy is not optional! I've never used my fitness pal for motivational purposes, but extra motivation and accountability always helps!
