Hey All... Looking for some Over 40's

Hi I am 48 and need to lose 30 pounds. I am a wife and mom with 3 kids 24,20,19. I am starting to feel like an old lady and sure do not want to look like one. I want to be able to wear clothes that my daughter wears even if I only try them on in the store. I will send a friend request and we can do this together!!!!

Hi Kim! I'm 45, married, 3 kids (22, 20, 18). I currently have 44.5 lbs to lose. I have a goal date to reach it, which is my 46th bday in Nov, exactly 35 weeks from today. Let's do this together.

I will be 41...add me! I have a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos and I combat it everyday. We are all struggling in our own way! Hang in there! We are here to help each other.

I am 47 as of December (Yikes) I just finished nursing school last May I am a full fledge RN now (Pating myself on the back) while in nursing school as u can imagine the stress level was huge and I am an emotional stress eater and when I travel I have to have something to drink and munch on and I traveled 100 miles round trip daily so it was easy to grab a bag of chips (my husband works for frito lay so they are FREE) and a soda and in December of 2013 I was diagnoised with type two diabetes. When I graduated last may from nursing achool I said "that's it I refuse to be on medication so I literally started out at 247 pounds I am 5'2" I started out walking two miles a day and just kept increasing the distance at one point last summer I was walking 7 miles a day and hold on to hour sears I started running I did my first 5K color run I walked most of it in august and by October I walked the half marathon in our city and I continued to train and I ran my first 5K without stopping or walking I was so proud of myself. I only drink water and eat very healthy. I was down to 183 in November then winter hit and I really didn't get out to exercise we get lots of snow and I just went to the doctor this week and I am back up to 196 bummed me out but weater is so nice I have been out running again I am training for my next 5k which is in two months its called insane infatable 5K I want to be down 30 by then. I will send u a friend request and we will support each other.....You got this rockstar

^Roll Tide. I'm not close to 40, but I saw his avatar so figured I'd come chime in to say that.

Hi Kim! I'm a 41yo mother of two boys. I have PCOS so I really struggle to lose weight as well. I'm also recovering from ankle surgery so I'm just now starting to get back into exercise. Just trying to figure out what works for me, looking to drop 40 lbs so I definitely could use all the encouragement and feedback from a similar group of people. I'll friend you, thanks!

Just turned 41... Barely over 40. Used to be able to eat anything without gaining weight. Yes, I was that guy. Developed lots of bad eating habits that are not compatible with an over 40 metabolism. Would love to have some over 40 friends.

Hey all Looking for some over 40's for support -

I am 48 soon to be 49... about 40 pounds overweight... I have Hashimoto's disease which makes losing REALLY tough but I need to be healthier because my Dad died at 49 with a heart attack and my Mom .. is getting to go through carotid artery surgery... so I NEED to make this change! I am a single mom to 1 very active teen who has me running 4+ nights a week - but she is EXTREMELY active and fit... and I sort of feel like an embarrassment to her . So I NEED to do this for Us (Me and Her) and would LOVE some friends to come along on this journey with me! You support me and I will support you!

Thanks so much

Kim

Hi, I'm 44 and married with 3 kids. I also have Hashimoto's so know how difficult it is. Still have about 25-30 lbs to go. Well done for trying to get fit! Hope we can support each other. Everyone I've 'met' on here has been really supportive!
