Hi! I'm Susan. I'm a 46 year old recent graduate of nursing school and I'm a mom to five kids. I've tracked on and off for years, but really need to get serious as I have 30lbs to lose. I can't use school as an excuse any longer.
I've been trying to keep active, but keep getting sidelined with injuries - I'm back to walking again. -1 -

Hi I'm Karen. I'm a 44 year old mom of 3. I have been on MFP for several years, losing and gaining and losing and gaining over and over again. I'm pretty active. I walk, run, do Zumba and a take a few other cardio classes at the gym, but I seem to always gain back any weight that I lose with the exception of about 8 lbs. Most recently, I have gained 8 lbs just since May. That always seems to happen to me during the summer months. I know my eating habits need to improve. I just love my Coca Cola and my sweets. My hobby is baking, so that's also part of the problem. I was very bad this past Labor Day weekend and starting today, I plan to lower my sugar and carb intake. I am hoping I can lose 1 lb per week before my birthday in Dec. That's my goal at least. We'll see how it goes!0

I'm back again. I was on Weight Watchers as I worked there, and lost some weight, however as soon as I stopped it has crept back up, so here I am. I am 46, 80kg and not happy about it. I have a gym in my unit complex so not excuses at all for not working out. apart from arthritis, which means I have to be careful of my knee and back.0

Hi, I'm Liz and 41 years young. I still can't believe it but the years are flying by so fast and I'm a rollercoaster on the scale.
I have two gym memberships and would like to have a buddy keep me motivated and vice versa. I work with an office of youngsters that are fit and I'm the big girl, it's not good when you're use to being the skinny one. I blew up during an emotionally abusive marriage I became an emotional eater. Now that I'm mentally healthy I'm wanting my body to be healthy too.0 -
Hi. I'm 45, working my way down from 154 lbs to 125, currently hovering around 136. I started gaining weight around 40 and have gone up and down since; I went down to 117 in 2012, but not in a healthy way, and the weight gradually crept up to my heaviest ever in August of this year. So I'm here and hopefully I've got it right this time. I eat healthy, real foods whenever possible - I follow a meal plan that my family can enjoy too, with no elimination but some restrictions for me on trigger foods like pasta and rice (can't ever get enough!). I walk every day and do Pilates two times a week, which has really helped with chronic sciatica and piriformis. Like the foods I choose, these exercises are sustainable, which is key to making this a lifestyle and not a ''flavour of the week''. It's been slow going, but it's been fairly easy. What's important is to remember that regaining would be even easier ...

I am 44 year old professional mother of three busy girls with a fit/active husband (lucky, I know). I've always been fairly active (I've run 7 half marathons), but not in control of my eating. I need some accountability. My real life friends are either remarkably fit or seemingly content with being heavy. I am neither, but I don't have enough self discipline to do this solo.0

Hi, I'm Holly. I'm 44 mom to 4 children 3 daughters 20,8.and 7 and 1 son 18. I lost 30 lbs. a few years ago with MFP and due to stresses of life and laziness I put 15 back on. I have recently rejoined the gym and started keeping track of what I eat. My husband bought me a fitbit for Christmas that I use mainly to make sure that my calories burned are fairly accurate as well as to see how many calories I burn when I'm not working out that day. That number helps me to make sure that I am not over or really under with my MFP settings. I'm looking for friends to help keep me accountable and that may need encouraging too!0

Hello! my name is Kim, I am 44yrs old, this is my second time on this site. The last 2 years have been very rough on me and I managed to put approx. 55lbs. My ultimate goal is to lose approx.65lbs. I use herbalife products cause they work for me and I love them. I am currently working out to Shaun T new program CIZE it is a lot of fun and very addicting.
I would love to meet positive uplifting people.

I wish everyone good luck in reaching their goals.
Remember weight gain does not happen overnight so neither will weight loss.....

Hi, I'm new(one week) to mfp and to the group, 45 is only a few months away and I have 42 lbs to get rid of (not by my b-day)
Our family has had a h&ll of a year, and I realized how run down was getting, and decided I need to look after me to look after my family better
I've been doing wwers (still go) but have been on a plateau since past September and getting tired of it so I joined here a week ago and was doing great (until Easter dinner yesterday BUT back at it today)
I don't go to a gym, I live in an area of hills so they are my work out. With spring/summer here soon I'll be outdoors more
Looking forward to getting to know you all

Hi everyone - I'm new to this group and new to MFP. I'm 44 and a mother of 2 beautiful daughters. I'm married to my soul mate who loves to eat but doesn't seem to ever gain weight - sigh. I lost weight before using WW but not finding the new plan easy to use so going to try just reducing calories to 1200. Today is day one and instead of beating myself up for gaining back the weight that I fought so hard to lose, I'm going to try and focus on how much better I felt about myself when I was at a healthier weight. OMG - you don't know how hard that is going to be for me but I need to forgive myself and move on!
So, anyone out there willing to befriend an introverted pessimist struggling to stay positive and on track?2 -
