I'm a 39 year old mother of 4 who had been fighting a thyroid disease. For the past 4 years I've put on about 30 pounds. I need all the support I can get because sometimes I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. Ugghh frustrated

I'm in. I've lost the same 5 pounds for the last decade, but I can't get past much more than that. I keep within calorie count, walk, and date my elliptical for 30 minutes about 4 times a week. Still nothing. Maybe this will help.

I'm there with you! I have between 20 and 25 lb. that I want to lose by summer. I've been trying to lose since our youngest was born last March and am so frustrated! I've never had a problem losing weight before, but now I have an issue with emotional/boredom eating so I'm sure that's not helping my weight.0

Dream trip to Spain and France planned for August. Unfortunately whilst the dedication to my job and desk is paying for the holiday; the result of all that sitting is a rather disastrous bathing suit body. I would like to lose 25 pounds by mid-July. I'm in.0

@H3809: Try eating more calories. I know it sounds counterproductive, but your body is getting used to taking in less calories, so it will burn less calories. You have to keep your metabolism up by eating your goal every day. Try kicking in a few more calories for a day or two and then scaling back for a day or two.0

Count me in too. I need to lose a solid 30 lbs and would like to do it before July 4th! I am finding that being over 40 now, weight loss is SO much more difficult so I need all the support I can get!0

I would love to join this challenge! I'm 38, 5 children, short, over my BMI suggested weight range, SAHM, low energy...low motivation! Medication last year caused me to gain 50 lbs in less than 1 year!! Anyone, everyone, please feel free to add me as friend so we can motivate each other. I like to do DVD's at home, use the treadmill, have a gym membership, and swim during the summer. Live in NC.0

I'm 46 and a country wife. I always gain weight in the winter since my work load is much lighter, and can't lose all of it by the summer. I'm on day 5 of this program and need some help. I can most of the veggies and fruit we grow, of course there are no nutritional facts on home canned foods, but I'm doing good comparing them to Green Giant or Delmonty.
My biggest problem is the calorie intake. Every day so far I've been under by 200-400 calories. I'm also having issues not going a few grams over the 45g I'm allowed. Everything has sugar in it. HELP.0 -
Im 39 and will turn 40 this summer. I was doing really good with weight training last year but around October everything kind of starting falling in on me and stress wiped out my motivation for everything so I gained back a lot that I had worked off. I started back again here recently. My goal is to get as fit and toned as possible before I hit 40. I would love to compete eventually but I have a LOT of fat to lose right now. I have been working out a pretty good little program daily and on low carb/low calorie. It is so hard to maintain my diet with others in the home eating whatever they want but Ive been doing really well so far and have lost 6 pounds. Im up for whatever connections I can get on her for motivation and help! Send me a request!0

I'm on FB and was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group page to keep in touch with losing these 30 lbs?? Please add me as a friend if you're interested and we can create a group page for us!0

I'm 41 and a working mom. Ever since my back surgery in 2011, (and months of steroids) I have been about 20 pounds heavier than normal. I've been getting more active and am not feeling sorry for myself anymore. Everyone has pain. I am going to get myself back to where I should be and where I feel good. I'd love to help cheer people on and would love some MFP friends to get through this journey.0
