in Motivation and Support
Looking for support from women over 45 as it seems our journey is a little different once we hit mid 40's. Feel free to send a friend request so maybe we can support each other with support and issues we women struggle with.

    Happy New Year! I need some accountability! I'd really like to lose 35-45 pounds this year. Will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary so that's a little incentive!

    Turned 40 and with the help of MFP last 6 stone, but in last 2 years since confirmation of menopause I've put 2stone back on, I'm really struggling as I've come to a plateau and dont know how to kick start the weight loss again. I'm cycling 35-50miles per week and walking on average 2miles a day. I don't know what to do to get this back on track.

    53 here, 22 minimum but if I could do 30 I'd be even happier. I could use support/motivation.

    I hear you! In my early 30's, I was able to lose about 50 pounds fairly easily (I followed a modified South Beach Diet). It took me about 8 months and I lost consistently and without plateaus. At 45 years old, after putting back on those 50 pounds plus a few more for kicks and giggles, I followed the same diet with hardly any results. So frustrating! I changed up a few things and I was able to lose 70 pounds over about a year and a half. I kept at my goal weight for a couple of years, however this past year I've put back on 10-15 pounds without much effort and I am struggling just to not put more weight on, forget about losing! I log every day and will support anyone who supports me in return. Feel free to add me.

    I'm 55 and have had a difficult time losing the weight I put on in the last decade. I need to lose around 40 to 50 pounds. I definitely can use some support and motivation!

    Add me to the list! Was thin until my 30s, then gained. Lost 45 lbs once but 30 lbs came back. After hysterectomy and turning 50, it's been so tough. I've worked hard but it's slow going. That said, I'm very committed to losing this. Let's motivate each other ladies! If you want a person to encourage you as you encourage me, send me a request.

    Hi ladies! I just turned 47 yrs young and would love more MFP lady pals. I've also set up Instagram to hold me accountable on my fitness journey. This was unplanned so pics are limited but I'll post something daily. My profile is jes4769.

    47, with 17kg to lose ... struggling with peri-menopause and busy life / job / kids means I haven't put myself first. Losing is tough but I want to be fit for life!

    46, down 76 lbs so far using MFP. For those starting your journey this year, you CAN do this. Have faith in yourself, trust the process, stay the course. :)

    I so need support, motivation, and accountability. I'm excellent in providing those to others but hard to apply it to myself. I'm 45 years old and I regained the 50 lbs this past year. I have at least 100 lbs to lose. Add me as your friend and let's get this year started right!
