    41 years old and need to lose about 90lbs. I have always been overweight but can never seem to eat right and exercise enough at the same time. I seesaw between one or the other. Need accountability friends please

    I'm 48 and have lost 10 pounds on mfp. I'm at 240. In January I was 265, so by the time I'm done, it'll be 100 pounds.

    I'm 51 and my initial goal was 100+. I'm down 36.1 so far. Taking it slow and adjusting as I go. So far I have not dieted just changed my bad habits!

    Hi i am 47 and have been heavy most of my adult life and have been in total denial (lol) i don't eat a lot or snack much but obviously i have been eating the wrong things as i have over 100lbs to lose and rarely if ever exercise, so time to step up

    Hi I'm 53 years old and need to lose 100# too, I have been heavy most of my life but have reached my heaviest, and feel terrible. I'm always tired, bloated and hate how my clothes fit. I just started SB yesterday and am searching for friends for support, going through the same things.

    Please feel free to add me if you would like.

    Thanks, Susan :-)

    It's doable! & the journey is much more pleasant with friends along the way. I'm 52 with around 100 to 120 to lose & so far i'm down 53 pounds. If i can do this, you can to :)
    One step at a time, maybe start with one small change then 2 small changes......
    Feel free to add me, I try to be supportive & encouraging for all, through ups and downs :)

    Hi Laurie. Welcome to MFP. Add me if you like. I'm here everyday. :)

    Thank you! I've actually been here for a while, just getting back to it after having a baby 10 months ago. Gained more than I wanted. I had lost 112 lbs before and gained some back with my pregnancy and ready to get rid of it! Let's do this!

    Hi Susan! Let's try keeping each other motivated! I hate how my clothes fit right now too! Got rid of my bigger clothes before my pregnancy and dont have much now. More reason to lose this weight! ☺

    40 Here and I need to lose around 120lbs have lost 13lbs so far. Started this journey faithfully again on August 5th. Trying hard to get healthy I have needed to lose weight for around last 20 years. We can do this add me to your friends list if you like. (This is for anyone on the board looking for more friends to, never can have to much support.) :)

    I quit using this site about a year ago and gained all my pounds back. I realize I need MFP or I fail. Looking for some new best friends to help me get back to where I was at before I started drinking Pepsi and eating Doritos again. I promise I will be very active. Anyone feel free to add me.

    My goal is to lose 153.5 pounds. I'm 5'6" , started at 333.5 and 47 years old. Love that first week of water weight - down 16.1! I know this will get more realistic but it is great for motivation when the first week is so challenging and my mobility is so much better already.

    Welcome to everyone! I'm 45 with a total of 118 to lose. I've lost 28 so far on Nutrisystem and MFP. Could use all the encouragement that I can get/give. Add me.
