Hi. I'm Tammy. I am 43 and I try to stay in shape and eat healthy. I have 4 great kids. I'm here to receive and give support when and where needed.

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.

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 ...

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!

Hi Ladies!!!! its my last year in the 40s going to be 50 this June. Want to look and feel healthier trying to lose weight 50lbs by then. Im single no kids but a pet parent. This is challenging because I have thyroid disease but IM determined.

Hello every one. I am Cam, mommy to 3 littles. I am 42 and trying to be as healthy as i can. And sexy too.

Hey everyone. I am 44 & mom of 2. I have been on MFP since 12-26 logging every day, I have lost about 8 lbs. Looking for some friends for motivation and ideas-I decided to join a couple of groups, feel free to add me as it's a hard journey alone.

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

I'm 47 and I need friends around my age for motivation.

Hi I'm Ali, 46, I live in Scotland and am mum to two young boys. After years stuck behind a desk I'm now a dog walker and have my own super energetic 2 year old Vizsla puppy.
I am getting back to formal training after a serious knee injury a couple of years ago.
I love kettlebells, Body Combat and yoga.
Looking forward to being part of the group and would love to make some like minded friends.
Good luck to you all with your fitness and health goals.....

Hi! I'm a 44 year old pharmacist who works full time. I have 2 boys (13 and 17) who both play travel and school sports. We are finishing up baseball season and it's time to get serious about weight loss. I want to be front and center in the pictures during my son's senior year instead of hiding in the back.

I'm Micki. I'm a 48 yr old mom of a 9 year old. I am divorced from, but have reconciled with, my "wasband" after being separated/living apart for a period of time.

Like many here, my family always came first. After Christmas 2015, something in my brain changed... and I began taking care of me in addition to them. I have lost 60 pounds in the mean time, and am in the process of working the last 20-ish off... but my goal is to have a healthy body fat%, so that's my focus right now.

I work from my home office for a major healthcare provider. I have a sedentary job, so I have to be very intentional in my exercise. It's very easy to get complacent!

I'd love to make some "flatscreen" as well as IRL friends to go through this journey with.

Hi. Here looking for support and a distraction. Hope to make some new friends on this journey.

Hi everyone! I just joined. I just turned 44 this month. I have a 24 year old son, a 22 year old daughter, a 19 year old son, and a three year old grandson who all live with my husband and I. My husband and I have been together for 26 years and have been married for 24. We also have two pitt/sheppard/boxer mix dogs named Bonnie and Clyde who will be a year and a half in June.

I have fibromyalgia, spinal problems, and the possible beginning stages of MS so I have constant pain and fatigue which makes it very difficult for me to be active most days, but I've just hit 190lbs which is the most I've ever weighed including when I was pregnant so I have to work on eating better and being more active. My goal weight is 150lbs with a stretch goal of 135.

I'm so glad I've found this group and looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends so feel free to add me!
