Love to be in this as well. I am turning 48 this year....with a goal to lose 30 pounds. Some 'baby' weight (mine is 17 yrs old) and the rest is due to ACL and hysterectomy surgery the past 7 months....no exercise and a bit frustrated with life. Now I'm ready to really get my life back and make myself a priority. Funny, I knew I was not the only over 40 woman looking to lose weight - sometimes it feels that way - but this string is incredibly motivating.5

I'm trying to lose 30. First 5 are up and down all the time. Next 10 come and go depending on the season and how much stress I am under. But that final 15 has been here for 15 years! I'm ready to get back to great habits and am eager to motivate others. I'm much better with a group! Please friend me.1

I feel
My hormones are
Making things worse. Anyone else feel this?1 -
Hello everyone I turn 44 this year. I have been struggling to get the baby weight off too. My babies are 23 and 21 lol. No but seriously I gained massive weight with my first child over 100 pounds and never got it off. I did fad diets and weight watchers and would lose 20 then stop and gain it back plus 10. In February I started my new life. Since then I have dropped 42 pounds. I still have a long way to go but I'm committed. My diary is open. I log everyday. And I comment on just about every post.3

Count me in! I need to continue what I've started and stick to it. Am tired of being a yo yo. I'm a December baby, so I'd like/would love to drop 30 lbs by then. Anyone can add me. The more support the better.2

LOVE your profile photo BTW. Major WDW fan here. Good luck and can't wait to here you do. I've done the C25K program before...it's great. We are sorta doing it ourselves at home, well my husband is starting it again and I'm trying to work with him as well when I can.0 -

It's funny how much just watching those numbers on the scale go down does to our motivation! Way to go!!!1 -

I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of losing and gaining the same two pounds - it was only just a few years ago that I was in pretty darn good shape (may not have been at my goal weight, but at least I was physically fit). Then "stuff" happens - and I don't even have any really good excuse. Add 20+ pounds and a complete 180 on my exercise ... I've become sedentary, have no stamina/endurance, and just about everything hurts. Getting old sucks! Time to get off my a** and become my own poster child for the Nike ad "Just Do It"! Feel free to add me - I check my home feed daily and I'm trying to be more active on the message boards.
Sound familiar here. It was just a few years ago also for me that I was about 20-25 pounds less and felt great about it. I lost weight (actually had to) to fit into a bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding. Then it slowly starting coming back on me. Wishing you luck and lots of support here!

Hi. I just sent request to join. The women here are great. Am 47 myself. Mom of two small kids with multiple health issues which make my MFP adventure stop-start (15lbs gone, 15-20lbs to go) ... and my weight loss chart looks like shark teeth (which amuses me) ... need support and encouragement but mostly inspiration from others. Feel free to add me too.0 -
Four years ago...one of my first times using MFP...and I weighed 13 pounds less than I do now. One of my new goals wll be to surpass that low and record a weight here that is the lowest ever. Baby steps! It is a new day and time to get started!1
