    In my early 40's, and working on losing 85lbs., but this time I'm diligent on keeping it off! Anyone in this feed, please feel free to add me! I have a library of great recipes I've gathered I'd love to share, and not only I'm I looking for support during this journey, but I'm a great listener and love supporting others. Losing weight (regardless of amount) is a bit of a challenge in our 40's, but if we support each other, those tough moments we endure we can overcome!

    Add me please (and anyone on this thread feel free to do the same). I'm 40 and hoping to lose 40 pounds before my 41st birthday. I get zero support at home where my boys and hubby eat like lumberjacks ;) so I'd welcome any and all to join me on this journey :)

    Hello everyone. These posts describe me. I'm 42 and attempting to lose approximately 2 lbs a week until my birthday in July. Weighed in a few days ago at 202. I really want to tone up and reduce my body fat. I really don't have any genuine support in this.

    Add me anyone I'm 41 and trying to lose, but my energy is low and I'm so confused with all the things I'm reading about how much macros to have. I just want to lose weight, I hate counting calories and points so seeing all this stuff is deflating.

    Just in out your stats into MFP and follow those recommendations. Anything more complicated is just making it difficult, only to be explored by masochists, people with medical issues, and occasionally someone who is struggling to meet their goals.

    I'm approaching 40 in a few months and I'm about 216. A few years ago I was at about 240. I got down to 190 then gained about 10-15 lbs back after being sick. Now I'm suffering with stress at work and gained about 5 lbs from stress eating, then got sick again and put on another 6 lbs from meds and steroids. I just finished PT and it's motivated me to be more active...now I just needs a friend or two since I don't have any in my life that I can rely on. Boyfriend doesn't count...I get mad at him if he talks about my weight..I've gotten sensitive! Feel free to be my friend!
