I will be 45 in December. I lost 65 but gained 30 back when my best friend died last year. I am learning very slowly to get back to where I was. I am on here every day and would love a group of motivated and excited friends to have on this health journey. Feel free to send a friend request2

Hello, I'm 42, and have a 25 year old who moved back home to go to school. I also work long hours, often around 60 hours each week. I recently decided to make weight loss and my health a priority and started dieting 6 weeks ago. Hoping I can stick with it this time!
Anyone on here feel free to add me.1 -

Haha I'm with ya! My brother is 5 years younger than me. Once he turned 30, I started telling people he was my Older brother. The best part is when they believe me!I quit having birthdays after 29, and have been celebrating anniversaries for 17 years since then, but you can still add me!

I'm 49 and glad to be back on track with eating and exercise after two separate running injuries that side lined me for 1.5 years and during which I gained 20 lb. I am determined to end my 40's healthy!

I've been running three times a week with my 10 year old daughter. She is awesome for my motivation. She joined the cross country team, so we have to build up her stamina for her competitions. Feeling really good and my eating is on point, but I'm not losing as fast as I'd like. I'm wondering if my calories are to high. I get 1540 a day, was wondering if that should be lower?1

I am starting to make myself a priority, and it really feels great Feel free to add me - I love new friends to help motivate me! 4

Hey there! I am 47 and a mother of 10, yes 10, and one 'adopted' nephew, so 11. As you might guess, the weight came with every baby and it took until my youngest (now 3), was over 2 before I decided I couldn't stand it anymore. I started in August of last year at 255. I am currently at 185 and have 30 more pounds to reach my goal. I am terrified of menopause and what it will do to my body, so I am desperately trying to get to my goal by my birthday in April and hope to have a real handle on my eating as I enter the maintenance stage and endure pre-menopause. I think it would be great to have friends in similar stages in life and with similar goals - be healthy to enjoy kids and future grandkids, be healthy to serve anywhere the Lord calls my hubby and me when he retires, "run" a 5K somewhere down the road, live a long, healthy life. I do NOT have the goal to wear a bikini, but would like to feel comfortable in a tankini at the pool with my kids!!! Any support and ideas (I've kind of hit a slump!). would be great!2

i turned 40 last Nov, (coming up on 41, ack!!) and it's been rough! I weigh more than I ever have in my life, I'm suddenly struggling with all sorts of health problems, depression, anxiety and the list goes on... I don't want to put a lot of pressure on myself, but I don't want to gain anymore! I know some of the health issues would subside if I'd lose weight. Lately I have virtually NO impulse control and I'm struggling in every area of life.
Turning 40 is a crazy time for hormones! Try to get outside every day and get at least 20 minutes of fresh air and sunshine. Really helps with the anxiety and depression. Sometimes we need to "see" hope in action, so may I suggest that you plant some flower or vegetable seeds? The anticipation of using your own fresh cut flowers or eating something garden-fresh is a huge inspiration! Best wishes!
