    I will be 47 in a few weeks and this is MY LAST weight loss journey! I am sick of this yoyo thing. Done WW, done Aikens, done done done...MFP is working great...Started 1/2 of this year and lost 9.5 lbs in January. Superbowl gained 1.5 back but back on track. Would love support!

    I need to lose 40 total...but really want 45-50 so I have some wiggle room...

    Turning 43 at the end of next month & need some buddies for support & encouragement. My weight yo-yos between 140 to 160. I need/ want to get to 130/135. Have embraced the fact that I can't be as skinny as I was before I got married & had kids. Things just drop off slower & with A LOT more effort :s BUT I'm happy not being 110-120 lbs again, I just want to be healthy, fit & fab in my 40s right into my 50s.
    Also had kids later in life (2 under 5) & I want to be healthy so I can stick around much longer & watch them grow.
    So... 'Friend' me ;) for support & accountability.
  • I'm 46 and want to lose 30 pounds. Tried before and lost 15 then gave up and gained it back. I'm tired of not liking the way I look. My birthday is next month and would really like to lose some by then!!

    We have to have a plan and be accountable to it. Wanting to lose is not enough- I found for myself that without a plan for nutrition I just kept yo yo ing. I got back down to 148 after having my son 12 yrs ago but the stress of working f/t as a single parent teaching and going to college p/t for another degree and ongoing family court battles has killed me since then . Now that the kids are older its time to prioritize my own self care and health .

    Wow. Little did I know when I reach out and started this thread that there were so many like me. Every time I check in there are 10 more of you. For you newbees, feel free to friend me. I will cheer you and I push you (nicely). Hope you will do the same for me. My diary is an open book. Nothing to impress here. I have a a fit bit to keep track of my daily activities. I eat real foods and do my best to stay under my calorie goal. I try to walk a minimum of 10K steps or 5 miles per day. My plan is simple. Eat what I want in (moderation) and keep moving.

    Oooey! So I must confess. I have been bad, bad, bad not walking yesterday and today. I have however logged all my food like a good girl, but I've been lazy and I'm feeling guilty after checking in on this thread.

    So.... butt off the couch and on the treadmill.

    Cowgirls don't cry.

    42 and 30 lbs to lose. I'm MOST tired of the roller coaster I've lived for the last 20 years. 15-20 lbs up; 15-20 lbs down and so and so on. I'm ready to lose it forever! HELP ME!

    Roller coaster for over a decade now. time to get off! but I wish it was only 15 to 20. Im going for 40 off and a life style change. no diet here.

    I am with you....lifestyle change not a diet! I have made small goals to get on track with eating. I meal plan now and try to prep for the week on Sunday. 13 lost, 20 to go....if possible I will push for another 5, but I will be ok with getting another 20 off and toning up.

    I feel your pain. I am in the same place, time for this baby weight (my baby is 14) to be gone. Small changes each day are leading to go things.

    I weigh weekly and take measurements every other. It is allowing me to see results. I was amazed at the difference in my measurements in such a short time.
