    What a great group! I am nearly 41 and need to GET RID OF 30 pounds. I don't want to lose weight. Lost things get found. I miss my electric blue suit. Can't believe how fast I outgrew it.
  • Hey, looks like some of you are just like me, early 40s female who wants to lose 30 lbs or so by July.
    Back on mfp after quite a while... Can I not add friends without giving mfp access to my address book? Can't quite figure that out, feel free to friend me.

    I love it!... "don't want to lose weight. Lost things get found" and.... "I miss my electric blue suit." Totally agree with you there and I have a few trunks full of clothes I miss.. lol bu the are probably out of fashion by now. Welcome.

    Hi Mary, I made a dozen of these this weekend. They are low cal and freeze up really nice. Pop 'em in the toaster oven or microwave and volia! Instant breakfast for folks on the go.

    Here is the recipe link... scroll way down to the bottom for calorie info.
    I've seen a dozen ways this can be made, bacon, sausage, prosciutto, low cal cheeses, or a tiny dollop of cream cheese. mushrooms, hash browns, onions peppers, tomatoes etc. Its great because you can modify it to what you like. You can keep it simple country or make it ultra chez gourmet.

    Anybody else have any good "make ahead and freeze" Breakfast or lunch recipes. Please share them with us. I really need some lunch ideas myself. How 'bout ya'll?
  • Turning 45 and just realized I have been wanting (but obviously not trying) to lose 30 lbs for over 10 years now! I'm a smart person and it is time to begin taking myself seriously. I know it will help me to enjoy my life to get out of this rut. I deserve to be happy in my body, I just need to start to believe it.

    I'm turning 45 in a little over a month. I've been struggling just to lose any weight instead of gaining. I lost 10lbs before the Holidays and have been struggling to get back on track since then. I need support & motivation and lots of it because everyday I just seem like I'm going backwards instead of forward.

    I could use friends who want to motivate and support!!!

    Ok so anybody like me? I'm 46 and got to get 30 lbs off. Sick and tired of being sick in tired. Have done it before but not as easy as it use to be. I'm committed to get it off before summer. I need a few buddy's for support though :D . Anyone in with me?

    I just started phentermine to drop 30-40 pounds
    It's working great
    Lost 6 in the past 3 days
    Appetite is barely there
  • Is that healthy, @sxcbut? I mean, that's great, but it really isn't sustainable as you are not developing healthy habits, not to mention the nutritional deficiencies your body will experience.

    Hi. I am "new" here as I signed up for mfp a few years ago and never posted for more than a day.
    Anyways I have 25-30lbs I need to lose. After my youngest daughter was born almost five years ago I lost all the baby weight and I was 125. Then year by year Ive added 10-12 lbs and now I am up to 156. I barely recognize myself when I look in the mirror.

    Zorks. I have to agree with you on the phentermine. I tried it about 6 years ago. it is not sustainable. It also raised my blood pressure.

    I am 43 and started with MFP at the end of November with (at least) 30 lbs to lose. So far I have lost 17 1/2 pounds and counting! Would love to be on the journey with people who have similar goals and are committed to logging everyday day and sharing their diary, so please friend me if this is what you are doing or plan to do this and want to be friends:)

    Exercise is the worst when you're just starting out and everything is hard. If you can soldier through a few weeks of it though, you'll start to feel a lot better - promise :)

    I am 46 with more than 100LBS to lose. I have been heavy my whole entire life. Never really cared about it until my niece came into the world.

    I have to get healthy to keep up with her as she grows.

Now stop 48, with fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis, I so miss the girl who could so easily could just go God a walk, be healthy and lose weight. Love to have everyone in this group for support :)

    Best thing I ever did was buy leslie sansones walk off the pounds dvds . Slow going and you actually walk miles in your living room. A huge game changer in my journey to help myself

    I walk on the treadmill every day Sophiasmomma but it gets so boring. I even switch the routines on it but i just do it anyway cuz something is better than nothing i guess.
