I always want something sweet after I eat. My trick is to indulge but not over indulge. I get out my serving of whatever and put the rest back in the cabinet. I then go to another room and stay away from the kitchen.

Please add me. I'm 48, 5'3" and need to drop about 15 pounds. More than the lower number on the scale I need to get back into weight training. I just want to be healthy again. I have young (12 year old twins and a 17 year old) children and want to be active for them. I need all the help I can get. Husband has naturally high metabolism so he won't exercise with me.

Feel free to add me.....40 is less than 2 months away. I have enjoyed learning to use the app and love the positive support.

Hi Everyone - I'm new to the group, my first post. I'm looking for friends to help keep me motivated and accountable....something my husband just cannot do because he's never had to diet or workout a day in his life and stays within his ideal weight range.

I'm 43, married, 3 kids. I want to lose 50 lbs by September (my birthday month).
I've struggled with my weight since the birth of my first child (over 20 years ago).

I'll admit, I'm the queen of excuses. I do good for awhile and eventually fall off the wagon. I'll lose and keep it off for a while, then have another child and have to start all over. So that's where I am now, my youngest will be 4 YO in April 2015, and it's time (way past the time) to stop making excesses and do something about it!

Anyone out there like me?

I'm almost 43 and have the same goal... 40 lbs by summer. Need accountability!

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!

Hey everyone! I agree with the pre-menopause idea! I know both my mom and sister went thru it in their late 40's- early 50's. I'm 43 and the last couple of years have definitely been tougher! It's not only hard to keep it off, it's so much harder to lose! So I need the support as well and would love to be a part of y'all's cheer group! :-) please add me! I'm still trying to figure this app out on adding friends and a picture! Lol...

Hi all. I am new to MFP, been on the app for 2 weeks now. This is my first time in the "community." I am 44, will turn 45 in March. I had lost weight in my early 30s but gained it all back, plus. This time I want to do some things differently. I want to lose weight, but I am not committing to a goal weight. Last time I did that, even when I hit the goal, it wasn't good enough. At some point I have to able to accept me, i just know right now it must be a much "lighter" me. I also realized losing weight in my 30s was sooooo much easier than in my 40s. A sad wake up call! I can use all the support I can get and will do my best to support others!

Hello Everyone,
I am a returning MFP, lost some weight few years ago. Then just stopped ( what was I thinking) So for the past 2 months I have been trying to educate myself on what I have been doing right and wrong. Tired of making the same mistakes. I really want to do this the right way. I want to make a lifestyle change for myself and my family. I always felt like I was strong enough to do this on my own and didn't need anyone's help, boy am I wrong.
I would really welcome some friends on here. Feel free to add me.

" I can do this, I will do this."

Hey! I joined MFP about 6 weeks ago. I had lost about 68 pounds but just stalled doing what I was doing. I came to MFP in hopes of starting the weight loss back up and would love to have some more motivation and an accountability partner would be fantastic! Feel free to add me!

Just joined and would like to find friends for support and encouragement ~ feel free to add me too!
