    I am 44 and have 100 more pounds to lose, but would love to add you as a friend.... I have lost 70 pounds total so far... some before MFP.... 54 on MFP... I love to root people on and help encourage... I am a very positive person... I am getting my teeth pulled today (all of them) so I won't be on here for a few days.... but now I'm on a liquid (or really mashed up so I can swallow without chewing) diet.... Hoping this will help me lose a little more :)

    Hello everyone! I am turning 47 in April and need to lose about 35 lbs. Just started on MFP a week ago. Have been working out for a couple of weeks and have joined a ballet class. Trying my best to keep the calories down, finding it difficult while also making meals for my family.

    36 here, would LOVE to be down 50 lbs. After years of trying, I'm starting to think it's not possible. I really need someone to kick me in the butt.

    I would also like support and to support others. I'm 50 and just started back up at the gym. I'm working on improving my upper body strength with a goal to be able to do 10 push ups and at least one pull up in good form! I am working on building muscle although I want to lose fat. I'm trying to focus on getting stronger. I'm eating a low carb diet but find that as I've gotten older, it is easy for me to gain weight if I don't limit my calories. I'm hoping that this will improve by gaining some muscle. Thanks!

    47 and dedicated to getting this baggage I'm carrying around off.. I have a *kitten* ton to lose m. Exact number idk 60 -70 pounds. Anyone in the same boat is welcome to add me. Cheering each other on or kicking in the *kitten* is always helpful.

    And I'm 45 and I could use a community to motivate and also get motivation from. I just started back to MFP last week and will be posting how I do every 10 days. No weekly scales for me. It's new, it's worth a try and I'm looking to lose 50 to start, but 90 overall.
