    I am at 49 and staring into the eyes of 50 - having accountability would be fantastic with losing weight.

    I'm 46 and would love to add more friends that will offer encouragement and support-I will do my best to return the favor! :) I've lost 46 pounds since October and would like to lose another 26. Right now I'm on a new medication and I have had a tough month. Because it is hormone based, it is affecting my body like every week is a PMS week. I've lost over 10 pounds this month but I keep gaining it back, which is so frustrating, because I had been losing 1-2 pounds a week pretty consistently and nothing has changed except the medication. I can definitely use some positive friends!

    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.

    You have described my situation almost exactly. I want all 30 gone!! We can do this!

    Yes that last 15 to 20 will not leave, I go up, get back down, but can't seem to kick those pounds, they have went though high school with my children.....smh We can do those though as a group!

    Ok everybody weekend is coming, Mother's Day meals are planned, hoping I can keep it under control all weekend. Scale is dropping slowly, but every little bit is motivation. Even though I know I shouldn't weigh every day...I do but I'm willing to deal with a 1+ pound and not get discouraged....just motivates me to try harder that day.

    It has rained pretty much all week here so not many chances to get outside and exercise. I've got a tennis match tomorrow and we might hit an amusement park on Sunday so I should be able to stay active this weekend and hopefully remain in control of my eating as well.

    Have a great weekend and Mother's Day everybody!

    Hi, thanks for the post! I'm 45 and working on losing 25 pounds. I've been on mfp for over a year. Still working on breaking some habits that derail my efforts. I know exercise is key for me. Could really use encouragement! Thanks!
