    I'm 46 and have about 30lbs to lose. I recently lost my mom and aunt both from heart attacks. Both died since february suddenly. I have to lose weight so I can see my 12 year old grow up. I'm also in surgically induced menopause from ov cancer in 2006. Any support is appreciated.

    I will be 50 in September, and have about 30 more lbs to lose. Four years ago I was introduced to MFP and by tracking my food, and taking up jogging (it wasn't pretty, but I was moving), I lost 32 lbs and felt really good. I found myself early this year having gained back about 25 of that lost 32, and started focusing on this again. In the past 3 months, I've dropped 11 lbs, but its been very slow going. I can't run like I did before, due to knee problems, but I'm doing my best. It seems like just a few years, from 45 to pushing 50, that my metabolism has really plummeted. Any encouragement and support would be great!

    By the way, I am trying to eat as much whole foods as I can, and keep my carbs somewhat low. 1400 cal limit a day too. It worked great initially, but the scale hasn't budged in a few weeks which is disheartening.
