    Id love to follow along with the group- trying hard to stay motivated and drop 30lbs. Turning 48 (gasp!) next Monday.. High school reunion this summer, plus 3 weddings to attend! Time to snap into shape.

    I completely understand. Son is graduating from college in April and I want to drop 25 pounds so I can buy a nice new outfit and look good. It is just hard sometimes especially in the winter to stay moving.

    Woo hoo, lost 1lb last week! Going strong this week with yoga, elliptical and walking already logged. I feel so amazing, it's not even about weight anymore.

    Quick story...I ended up at the Doc's last summer for a foot injury. They did the weigh in process etc. My weight was not what i was hoping....so that day made me serious about changing my life. I've lost 15lbs since July. Have a ways to go, but I am working out 4 days a week with weights and walking every day now. It's hard after 40 to realize the body just doesn't burn as much food as i was used to eating.....

    I would like to join too. I am 41, diabetic, pcos, and I would like to lose a total of 90 lbs. I started my weight loss journey (again) on January 1st. So far I have lost 4 lbs & my numbers are down. I am eating a low carb/low sugar diet, cutting out almost all bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and tortillas. I have been walking a lot, 15 miles last week.

    What burns me up the most is when I go strong for 2-3 weeks, then for some reason, I drop the ball. It could be a day or 2 without exercise because of "other plans", or a meal that wasnt so great. A slip here and there.. and I bomb. I cant do this anymore! I have to learn to put myself first when it comes to staying on track. I wish I was a morning person.. get the exercise in first thing! Its hard to climb out of bed in the winter.. dark and cold. Not a fan of winter, at all. But my plans are to start up exercising again in the evening.. why am I still sitting here? lol

    I'm in. Im turning 45 this year and I have about 17 kg (38 pounds) to lose and due to some sports stuff, I'd like to knock about 10 kgs of that off within the next 10 weeks to make a weight division.

    Feel free to add!

    If your over 40 and sick and tired of being sick and tired of how you feel and the way you look, then lets do this together! I'm 50 pounds over weight and plan on loosing 2 pounds a week. Let's motivate each other, swap diet secrets, and encourage staying on exercise routines. We got this!

    You can do this! At my heaviest I was 250, so I know the struggle. I had lost 60 lbs but gained some of it back this past year. It is easy to pack on the pounds but, hard to shed them.

    @lgshelton I'm starting nice and slowly... I have been a bit over my daily limit the last 2 days slightly. Hoping it will be better today and will be able to keep the calories down.And thank you for the kind words :):)
