Please add me to the group. I'm 46 and lost almost 40 lbs using MFP a few years ago. I've gained most of it back but would love to get there again. Just need a little motivation to stay on track.1

I'm 43 and a mother of 6. I never lost my baby weight from the last baby. I have been losing and gaining back the same 15 lbs for the last 2.5 years. Lately I seem to just be gaining. I'm only 2 lbs under my post-baby peak. I've got 50 lbs to lose and I'm looking for people to both inspire me and challenge me. If you can relate please send me a friend request v2name.1

Count me in!! I joined weight watchers in July 2014 and 8 lbs and then put it back on and then some! Very disappointed and clothes are tight, I look pregnant! I'm 46 and finding it so hard to be motivated especially when I have a husband and son who practically eat any and everything!! I've training in Feb 2016 and have lost 6 lbs so very slow and could do with some of your support too!!1

I am a proud 46 and since last March I have lost 120+ and counting. So far I would not say that I am having a hard time losing weight. It takes a lot of work, commitment, and dedication. I do not really need motivation, but support is good and I am willing to help anyone in any way I can. The main things that I have learned is that this is a process and I now have the knowledge that this is doable, so if i fall off the wagon or gain a few pounds I do not get upset or frustrated. I just get back on the horse and head in the right direction. Feel free to add me, if not just know that you can do this!4

Hi there! I'm definitely looking for some accountability/motivation buddies, please!
My story in short, I'm a 42 year old single mom. In the past three years I managed to leave a very unhappy and unhealthy marriage, land on my feet financially and emotionally, run a half marathon, get down to my goal weight and meet my soulmate. I felt like I got my life back! Then...I broke my back and regained all the weight I lost as I recuperated and comforted myself with junk food. I also struggle with an endocrine disorder called PCOS, which makes weight loss very difficult, oh and throw in wacked out hormones and entering my 40s and well...I'm struggling to get back on that horse. Yesterday was my first day back to work for 2017, I spent the day prior prepping clean meals for the week and making a plan. I'm ready to do this but would love to keep in touch with some like-minded ladies since none of my local friends are focused on these same goals right now. Thank you and look forward to talking to you! 6 -

Hi everyone, I'm a 43 yr old working mother of two, desperately wanting to lose (at the very least) 80 lbs.
I did initially lose 57 lbs a while back, however, over the course of the year i managed to put 30 of them back on...(I'm totally disappointed in myself). Anyhow, i realllllllllllllllllllllllllllly want to get back on track...Today is my third day starting back on MFP and i'm hoping i can reach my goal by the end of this year.
I really don't want to do this alone 'cause that would really suck
, so, if your interested, feel free to add me so we can keep each other motivated 1 -
Hey everyone..Happy New Year! I am 46 and l lost 35 pound last year and wanting to try to lose more this year but boy does it come off so slow..ugh. Feel free to add me and we can push each other!0

Hi I'm 47and struggling to lose what was 10lbs but has slowly crept up to 17lbs, would like some motivation as well as offering support to those in a similar position.
Fairly healthy but go through phases with my excercise regime, not so easy to do on your own but determined to try and lose it in 2017, hopefully with like minded fitness pals0 -
I just turned 44, and it seems since I've entered my 40's it's been an uphill battle to keep the 25 lbs off that I lost back in 2011 at the age of 37. I'm back to doing something, weights and/or walking 5-6 days a week. Hopefully we can revive this thread, because I need some motivation! Have a great week all!2

I’d love to be added. This has been a very hard road for me and I’m struggling for REALS!!! Will be 44 in May and have 115 lbs to lose.2

2 months shy of heading over that hill (turn 40 this summer), always looking for others to help keep me on track and focused. Just being around similar minded people, even if it's online, helps keep the focus where it needs to be!
Movement is huge for me, making it a part of my day to day life.1 -
Hello ladies. I started this post and although the group I created is no longer open I am still here working hard towards my goals. You can add me as a friend, let’s help each other. Turning 40 was a challenge and God knows I’ve had my troubles but I have had successes too.

48 menopausal need to lose 30lbs

Feel free to add me! I am 48, put on 30 lbs due to a back injury and surgery. Started April 2nd doing the 1200 calorie eating plan, gave up all sodas, walking daily! Haven’t lost according to the scale but my clothing says otherwise2 -
Good morning, I've been using MFP for years. Being divorced for 5 years now, I started dating a guy now for a year and half.....In love and gained 26lbs in that time frame. Gained 2-3 pant sizes. Trying for a month now to lose the weight and do what I did in the past to lose, but I haven't lost anything. The goal is 1-2lbs a week. Eating is good and working out is good. I know I'm 46 now and my metabolism is slower, but honestly this is frustrating. Ideas and pointers are welcomed! Thank you, Wendy0
