    I just turned 40 (eek) and have 15ib to lose. Was very happy with my weight for several years then I started a new job and put 15ib on working late and eating rubbish. Starting a new job in a couple of weeks and determined to lose weight not gain it this time!

    40 in 2 months and want to lose about the same - more like 18 lb though :) Also changing jobs in June - back to where I put on weight - determined not to let it happen again this time! Want to lose the 18lb by June 22 :)

    I'm about to turn 39 - can I join the party? I got down to my ideal weight with MFP 7 years ago, and slowly gained it all back. Now I'm trying again and at 39, it's a lot more difficult! :neutral:

    Welcome to the party!!! Happy Good Friday :)

    Hello everyone! I am turning 40 in the 13th in April. In the last year, I had 30lbs jump on my butt. Things just aren't as easy as they used to be that's for darn sure. HELP! I would love to make new friends.

    Same here! Passed my goal Wednesday. But not only is it Easter on Sunday, it’s also my birthday. Double whammy. I plan on enjoying the day with family anyway. 46 will be awesome (right?)!
    Well Happy Early Birthday!!! Enjoy your special day with family!!!!

    I'm trying to get my butt back out from under my finger rock and move. I need to lose the dreaded 40-50 pounds from medicine that they just now pulled me off of. Nice, right? Thanks, docs. As if I didn't have enough to deal with after back surgery last June. So, I get that I have to go slow and steady but I'm an impatient sort. So I could use all the support I can get!!! That's where you ladies come in!!! :)

    So happy to find this group!!

    Any chicken or vegetarian meal ideas you want to share? I have been grilling the heck out of it and need some new ideas. Thanks!

    Daisy, look up emeril lagasse. vegetarian chili, it's so good! What kind of chicken things are you looking for ? Anything not grilled? New marinade? Does it have to be chicken breasts? I made this, stewed chicken thighs with potatoes and carrots, it's one of my favs and go tos.
