Wait, graham crackers are actually good for you. I eat them all the time.1 -
Feel free to add me! Looking for motivation and friends who are on their own journey2

Just restarting again. Hoping to meet some new and upbeat folks. Feel free to add me too. I am 46 and I need to lose about 50 lbs1

I am 46, I really need to love 65-70 lbs and it is about time I get serious about it. I have 2 kids (8 and 11) and I want to have fun with them and be around for a long time. The time is now. I will take all the support I can get, it is so hard to do alone.

👋🏾 hi - I’m 40 and need to lose 35 pounds. I am not sure how to add friends but would love to connect with others.1

Hi , I’m in my 43..about 8 years ago I managed to lose over 100 lbs, unfortunately my weight is creeping up. I would love to connect with others too2

Hi. I’m 42 trying to lose about 45 lbs that I’ve lost before. One would think I’d get wiser with age and quit gaining it back. Ran into a bunch of medical issues and it just keeps creeping on, but I’m done, I’d love accountability friends. Feel free to add me.,2

Btb079 - I totally agree.. it doesn’t seem to get any easier with age ( especially if one has medical issues! I’m tired of this controlling me1

Turned 41 last month. Need to become healthy so that I may continue caring for a dear family member that has become disabled last year. Goal: At least 80 pounds. I want to be HEALTHY. As I sit here typing, I don't feel overweight but when I look in the mirror or see pictures, I can't believe my eyes. I need to change this and love and care for myself more.6

Happy Friday Ladies! I hope you all have an incredible weekend4 -
I'm soon to be 43 and could use some motivation with friends! Feel free to add me3

Hi everybody. It was an OK week for me. Stayed on track with food but not exercise and managed to lose 1.2lbs this week. Which is good considering my sister was visiting last weekend and I didn’t log everything.
I have been super busy and just feel tired. Things will calm down after this month. My daughter is in her school play and the performances are 3/1 and 3/2 so rehearsals have really picked up and it’s a lot of running around. My 30-day heart monitor still has not arrived and that has been an issue of a little stress trying to get through to the doctor’s office. I trying to not let it all get to me because that is usually give in and start eating. So far so good 😊5 -
Thanks @azkunk for thinking of me. Ive been away from home and enduring some stress and good times but back now 😀
I hope your heart monitor arrives soon? Try not to stress in the meantime though easier said than done. It will arrive when it does. I know how health can be a worry.
I have to have one too but only 24h.
I've stuck to my old goals of no dairy milk and only one slice of bread per meal if having any.
It's time for some new goals! !
I have not been to gym for weeks since away and moving so let's lock in gym weights 2 x pw and yoga 2 x pw, as well as walking or cycling.
As well as no dairy and one piece of bread at a time.
Have a fun day everyone ☺

Ps I have avoided sore boobs and bad pms for the second month in row by taking Go Hormone Harmony supplement. I'm just saying because the water retention before period always made me think I had gained heaps and I felt terrible mood wise. And maybe this comment can help someone else. I take it for 7 to 10 daya before period due until it arrives , even though directions are for daily month long.

Hi to all the new people!
@wearefab I hear you on the period bloat, I’m there right now and trying to remind myself that extra 2-3 lbs will go away soon! It’s super annoying!!1 -
Welcome back @wearefab 😊
Went over calories today because we went out to dinner but I made better choices then I normally do. Went out for Mexican and I ordered a taco and a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. I only ate about half of each but had a few more nachos then I should have had.
I plan to get lots of steps tomorrow because we are taking the kids to the Renaissance Faire. Depending on the time we leave, I may even try to squeeze in a workout video.
The doctors office called while I was at dinner and my monitor should be here on Monday or Tuesday. I’m anxious to get this all figured out. My blood pressure was great today it alerted as having an abnormal rhythm.3 -
I’m 48 and I’m gonna be real about needing to lose 100 lbs... feeling positive! Loving Keto so far!5

This time I’m gonna get it right and keep it.
Add me if you want to reach similar goals:
Drink water water water.
Lose 30+ pounds, but NOT obsess with a scale.
Attain healthy BMI.
Eat vegetables.
Eat for nutrition, not for emotion.
Be active and get strong.
Eat clean and close to nature: eliminate additives and chemicals.
Conquer food cravings and sugar addictions. End binge eating, especially nighttime grazing, for good! (I’m using intermittent fasting, 12 hours of NO solid food between 8pm and 8am.)
New friends welcome. Add me. My diary is shared and I love feedback and comments! Cheers!
Those are similar goals to mine! My problem is after work eating as a mode of relaxation.5 -
I have been off track these last few weeks between being sick, taking care of sick parents and children, crazy work schedule and overall life in general. I’ve decided that it is time I start taking care of myself. Starting today I am going to commit to not let this blip in my goal discourage me and stop making excuses for not doing what I need to do to reach that goal !!! It’s time I get it together to get back on track. Have a great weekend everyone.5
-
I've read your latest updates and I see a lot of determination! !
Let's keep going ! One day at a time. And those days string together and before we know it we have arrived to feeling confident and healthy! !
I stuck to goals yesterday : yoga or gym, walk or cycle, no dairy, one bread at a time.
I'll carry those forward to today.
I also have problems with the evening and night time eating. I was up until 2am watching movies.
I think I need another goal of bed by midnight even on the weekend as it is the late night snacking that clouds my brain and body the next morning.
Hang on in the @azkunk I hope you enjoy time with family and don't push too hard of you feel too busy or tired to do workout too.
For me, I have discovered the best weight help is staying relaxed and not rushing too much around life when I don't need to. Stress hormones make me tense and eat and gain kg. Also sleep and good friends are helpful too ☺0 -
Hi can I join in - I’ve lost 60lbs over the past few years through exercise and want to lose another 24. It had been coming off but I’ve plateaued and in my fed up state did 2 weeks of weight watchers (never again!) so I’m hoping if I can add some of you as friends etc then we can motivate each other. I’m 46 this year and my shape has changed so much I just wish the scales would follow suit 🤣🤣🤣6
-
Count me among those not having a great weekend. It’s my time of the month and I think that is a big part of it. I just feel sluggish and unmotivated. I’ve stayed within my calorie count and still working out but just feel “blah”. Hoping to get a good night’s sleep tonight and get back on track tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!2 -
@gridirongrrl i find the best thing to do is relax, chill and enjoy the blah. It took me years to elarn to go with my natural ebbs and flows. I hope you get a good sleep too
Well today I broke my goals! I had 2 pieces of toast as a meal, and some dairy in instant coffee drinks.
BUT I will now do my yoga and mostly because I committed to it here!!!
Lots of love to everyone.4 -
Hi everyone I’m 42 and would love some MFP friends so we can support each other! Overall I had 88lbs to lose and I’m down just over 20 now since the start of the year through starting cardio/weights/swimming at the gym and using MFP to track calories. Feel free to add me4

Hi @rainydayhappy ! Welcome to the group.. I sent you a friend request !
@wearefab thanks. I’m ok with the scale going up and down.. I weigh daily so I’m used to that. I actually slept until 9:45 today and feel better now. I think I was a little tired! Lol!4 -
Okay I need to goal goal goal! !
1 piece of bread at a time, no dairy apart from.finishing up my instant sachets, walking, yoga or gym.1 -
