Hi. I have been on this roller coaster since 2011. I lose then gain then lose then gain... I'm tired of this ride. I'm 44 and losing weight isn't as easy as it used to be! I'm looking for female friends around the same age for motivation and support. I will motivate and support you as well.....

    Hi All.

    I'm 42 (the magic Douglas Adams year!), and mostly common sense cook-at-home, prepare my food a week at a time when I'm on my game type. Nothing fancy here. Just a lot of walking and tracking. Please feel free to send me a friend request.

    I've been here in fits and starts since October 2012. Started at about 230# and am now at 196# per doc's office yesterday. I've lost the 10# of ice cream I ate over the spring and summer when I learned we were moving across the country unexpectedly. :smile:

    5'10" and I'm excited to get down 10# to my previous low goal, then the last 10# into healthy BMI for my height. Oh... and the jeans and little black dress territory.

    I'm 48. Same story - up and down, up and down! A few years ago I lost 7 stones using MFP, but have put most of it back on. Now I need a kick up the behind and some support would help lots. Feel free to add me. We can do this!

    Hi I am 52, but know this roller coaster ride so well. I have lost 66 pounds in the past only to gain it all back and more. I have had many false starts but this is the one that keeps going, I feel it. Add me if you like and we can push each other through the rough spots. But even if you don't, know that you CAN do this and just keep pushing!

    I'm 42 and since having my daughter three years ago the scale has been gradually but steadily climbing upward. I now weigh within five pounds of what I weighed when I was 9 months pregnant! So I'd be happy to join a group of 40-something women. I'm not sure how that side of MFP works, so let me know. Do you invite me?

    I will turn 44 this year. About 2 years ago I lost about 40 lbs, but still stayed about 8 pounds from my goal. I have since regained about 10 pounds by being lazy and comfort eating. I need to start on my goal again before I make it worse. Today is my day to begin and we all can help support each other.

    I have so much crap I want to get rid of clogging up my lists - especially the recipes section. I have stuff from way back in 2011 that's just in the way. And I'm having to scroll through page after page of nonsense to find what I'm looking for. So I would also like to know how to purge all of that old garbage. Anybody know how?

    OP, your story sounds very similar to mine! I've been losing and gaining the same 70-80 lbs since 2011. I've decided recently to accept that this is a lifestyle change and something I will have to stick with for the rest of my life. Feel free to add me!

    I started my journey at 49. Just over a year ago. I have lost 165 Lbs and have about 98 Lbs left to lose. It is not an easy journey but now that I am 50 I am much more happy than I was at 49 and 378 Lbs.

    I wish you the best of luck on your journey! Just know that it can be done and the people here at MFP are wonderful and supportive!
