in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm JoAnne, age 51, from Gadsden, Alabama, US. I'm mother to two incredible sons, both with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of high-functioning autism). My goal is to live a healthy lifestyle , and to lose at least 40 lbs over 2 years. I'd like to make friends with other women over 40 who will support me and keep me motivated. I have health issues that have yet to be diagnosed, some weight related, some not. If you add me to your friends list I promise to support and motivate you. Thanks!

    Hi JoAnne
    I am fairly new at this site but am loving MFP and having very good success. I'm 57 and live near Chicago. I have struggled with my weight all my life, and am now focused on staying healthy as I get older. I don't want to be infirm when I'm 80 if I can do something about now. I would also like to lose about 40 pounds and am willing to do it slowly (not sure there's any other way at this point!). I would be pleased to share this journey with you and others.
    Merry

    I'm 49, I'm a dialysis patient who gained weight doing peritoneal dialysis, now I'm on hemodialysis. The past 11 months I've had 23 surgical procedures in addition to dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hrs each time. I'm losing weight to keep my active status on the kidney transplant list. So long story short I've been sedentary for past 11 months but have managed to lose 40lbs. Now I'm feeling better and looking for positive women my age to share this journey with me. I'm a tough cookie who won't give up on you.

    How did I get here? Stress, middle age, sedentary, foodie. Didn't think I would be so heavy in my life. Starting over , again. Realizing it all has to be permenant change. I'm 48 and realize I need to get this under control before I have serious health issues. Living in Maple Ridge BC. Would be great to find a walking buddy or some online ladies to mutually support.

I am trying to get my body and my energy back!! You ladies can add me if you would like. I could use the support and would be happy to support you. :)

    I'm Maria. I'm 41 (turning 42 in January). This is my first time actually using this website, and I'm excited about meeting people and getting started.

    I am suddenly (OK, it was gradual, but it feels sudden!) the heaviest I have ever been in my life (aside from pregnancy), and I feel like I've really "let myself go."

    I need to get fit! Help!! :#

    I'm in my 40s and currently weigh 225.

    I'd love a couple new friends...anyone add me?

    I belong to the Eat more 2 Weigh less group. So if you're ok with someone who eats around 2,000 calories I'll be happy to be your friend!

    Good morning Ladies, I have sent several of your friend requests. I am a 44 year old mother to 2 girls (21 & 19) and grandma to a 3 day old little boy! I work full time and I realized holding my grandson that I needed to get back on track, stop making excuses and get healthy so I can be around to see him grow, help his mommy and daddy and best of all, hear her tell me I was right and finally understand what I was "doing wrong" while I was raising her
