who checks in every day...who is happy with the process of finding a better lifestyle...who has been there type of deal??

just seeing if they want to be "friends" to motivate and say it's okay to have that medium shamrock shake only if you log it (i did)...

    Add me. I sure can use some motivation. Eating good, most of the time but I log everything good or bad. I'm having a hard time getting started with exercising.

    Me, too! I log religiously, good or bad. Sometimes I just have what I want and I'm ok with that. Some days I really don't want to exercise or have other obligations that are more important at the time and I'm ok with that, too. I get a little frustrated with people telling me what I shouldn't be eating...I like to eat out, or the exercise I log isn't productive. Hey, at least I'm getting off the couch!

    Feel free to add me! I just turned 40. My diary is open to friends and I log it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. I have lost 33 lbs since joining mfp and didn't give up chocolate or cookies. I just watch the daily totals and try my best to stay in range.

    Hey. I'm not here to lose weight but log in every day and am 44. You just reminded me I need to go get a Shamrock Shake before they're gone! Feel free to add me if you want. Cheers.

    I just turned 40 in January. I check in every day, have an open diary and am down 35 pounds since November, though I still have quite a ways to go. I don't believe in giving up anything - moderation is key for me (along with portion control)! I also am viewing this as a lifelong commitment. I'm in no rush to get to my goal - this time around, I'm going to enjoy every day and live my life to the fullest (even if I'm not at that "perfect" weight) - I've missed out on too much of my life already! Anyone please feel free to add me! :smile:

    I just turned 45 but feel young at heart! I'm not ready to throw in the towel & be what society expects 40 yr old to be. I'm very active with family & life. I'm having too much fun right now. Please add me if you feel the same. I love positive energy & love to encourage others. I'm a good guy like that but also have a fun streak! Good luck to all 40 plus in the next step of a healthier & younger feeling life! :smiley:

    I'm not a motivator / cheerleader type and I don't really do 'friends' but I'm here to wish you all good luck - I'm 47 and have moved from a couch potato, overweight lazybum with a BMI in the obese range (30. something) to losing 50lbs easily over 8 months and loving being a workout freak

    I've dropped 20 years, health issues and 3-4 clothes sizes and I feel great

    and it's easy once you find your groove

    you can do it!

    eat at a calorie defecit, don't deny yourself things you love make them fit in your overall diet
    get moving - walking - working out - progressive weight lifting is a revelation and amazing for your body

    Good luck all - hope to see you the other side

    41yo who found fitness last year, trying to lose those pesky last 10 pounds, and yes if I eat something not totally healthy, I will log it, like the Easter cream egg last night!

    43 approaching 44 and I train hard, motivated as heck when my training days are in session - pretty much trained my whole adult life, except for taking 5 years off.

    I love this stuff. I love heavy, eating big.
