    Hi, I am 41 with two boys, 14 and 13. Have about 30 lbs to loose. I am very bad at doing excercise and I sit at a desk for a good part of the day. I use a pedometer, but can't seem to get more than 4000 steps a day (very sad).

    Add me too, need all the motivation I can get.

    Good luck every one!

    Hi Im a 40 y/o SHAM Mom , I have 2 kids and I homeschool.
    I started a journey to better health around 10 months ago, going dairy free and making sugars and processed foods the exception, not the every day, I'm trying to go vegan.
    I've done this year The Daniel Plan 40 days and juice reboot 30 days and I feel better health wise , so I started biking 5 miles 2-3 times a week as a form of exercise for the first time ever, but despise of all this changes in my diet, I haven't been able to loose any weight at all. It's very frustrating. I need to loose over 30 lbs and it's just not happening.
    I definitely need some support and encouragement , please feel free to add me too.

    Please add me! Late 40s, 4 kids, trying to lose 20 lbs! I run 35 minutes most mornings and trying to cut carbs. Three weeks in and very little improvement but I'm not giving up!

    The online community can be very helpful but you have to make time for YOU - you need to find your internal motivation/reason you want this,too. For me, I feel better about myself when I'm making this work and exercising, which hopefully makes me better for my family as well.

    You got this.

    Yes! Exactly this ^^

    41yr old mom to 3. Joined MFP in February with 10-12lbs to lose. Successfully lost those doing Body for Life and have been maintaining since May. I lift 3-4 days a week and HIIT cardio in between.

    I had to make myself a priority and juggle things around to make it work. Adjusting work hours to make it to the gym before work...meal prepping on Sunday to make sure I had my week planned out...kids riding their bikes to school so I could leave earlier, etc.

    40 and mom of 4. Just trying to get back on track with MFP I have a lot of success if I log consistently and exercise...both of which I have been slacking lately. Add me! I hid my scale and I'm going to focus on feeling healthy and inches lost.

    Would love some accountability friends :)
