40’s ladies... support and updates

I'm 42....I'd like to lose around 40 lbs.

Hi ladies,

I'm 43, looking to lose about 25 pounds, just finishing up my master's degree while working full time, and a fresh grandma to boot. It's been a long 2 years, but am looking forward to taking control over my life again. I'm looking for a supportive network and am happy to support, as well.

Looking forward to the journey!

I'm 43, no kids, 12lbs to lose (again)

48, 2 adult children (22 & 18). Lots to lose. Add me

Hi you all... I'm 45 need to loose 20lbs.... I have 3 sons (fur babies) I got off track back in April and just can't seem to get back on track... I had the lap band done in 2010 and want from 278 to 170... I am now back to 185.... I know what my problem is (alcohol and junk food) but it's so hard to stay away from my adult beverages... I work graveyard shifts so when I get out of work I'm usually too tired to want to exercise... Always eager and willing to offer support and motivation to others who are on the same journey...

Hi!
I’m 41 next Tuesday, after gaining and losing 40-60 lbs multiple times over the past 10 years I’m ready to lose weight and feel healthy again...I want to start with 20 lbs and go from there. I have a lot of muscle still, just need to get rid of the fat over it 😳. I have 2 girls, husband, dog, 3 cats, work partime, sell at the farmers market and am supposed to be working on a certificate program. I need support and motivation!!!!

Hi there. Feel free to add me. I'm 44 with 3 adult kids. I'm a full time student working on a second bachelor's and I'm also an artist. Aiming to lose 25 lb.

Hi, Jackie, 47 (peri menopause is kicking my @$$). 2 kids ones leaving for school and ones moving out.
Lost 60 since January gained 8 back and besides that 8 another 20 to go.
I log daily (600+ day streak) and need to get back to my way of eating and back to walking
I’ve added most of you all, if I didn’t, please feel free to add me

Hi all. I'm 42 and need to lose about 7 lbs. I've had two babies in two years and needless to say the weight has not been melting off. I've worked hard on eating right and exercising. My diary is open to friends so add me if you'd like. I can't do my normal exercise (run) right now b/c I have a hip flexor injury but I start physical therapy tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting back to it soon. For now CICO is working and I'm sticking to it.
I also eat heart healthy as my husband and I both have high cholesterol.

Hi I'm 42 with three boys! I need to lose 30-40 lbs. I'm doing HIIT workouts and lots of walking. Trying to eat right, reduce stress and manage my life! Feel free to add me!

Hi, I’m 43, aiming to lose about 28 pounds, can’t stand going to the gym, so exercise is mainly yoga and walking. Wine & Cheese is my downfall!

Im 45 (5'8)..feels like forever but I'm finally down from around 151 to 138.5
Im eating about 1400 cals a day.....i try not to weigh myself more than twice a month....recently i waited 17 days to jump on the scale and i was bummed it only budged one pound...but when i weighed myself next time after 14 days it was down another 1.5 pounds...slow and steady and as I get closer to my goal weight it will come off even slower....

Hi all! I am 47, 5'5" and 169lbs. Yuck! That hurts to type that. I have gained almost 30lbs in one year (on and off again) My heaviest weight was 10 years ago at 190lbs. I worked hard and kept it off (down to 143lbs) until now. About me and my woes: My mom diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time. This time is terminal. Basically a waiting game. I eat my worries and lack motivation. Joined a kick boxing class, love it, but it's hard to make myself go to it. My biggest drawbacks are the weekends. I can spend all week keeping track, walking etc. but come the weekend it's beer and no motivation to keep on track. It was hard in my 30's to lose weight, but I am finding it harder now. Is this pre menopause? I hate that I am struggling so much this time around. I hate that I can't fit my clothes anymore. Eating healthy is not a problem for me. It's sticking to it on the weekends and snacking while watching T.V. that is my biggest problem.

I'm 45 and currently at my heaviest - 170 I am 5'2" and my goal is to lose 40 but would be happy with 30! I am a single mom of 2 high school girls. I work full-time and struggle with motivation at the end of the day. I have a lot of pain in my hips that my doctor says is just "mild" arthritis but it definitely keeps me from being able to do too much physical activity. I started using MFP, tracking calories and activity a couple months ago.
Just lacking motivation and need get my butt in gear!
