Generation X / 40-somethings

I'm new to this site so I'm still trying to learn my way around. Wondering if there is a message board for the 40-something crowd? I'm in my early 40s and trying to lose about 50 pounds.

    Hi BrownEyedJerseyGirl! I'm a 40-something looking to lose 50 lbs too. My husband showed me the MFP app yesterday and I love it! We're doing it together....it's the first time we've agreed on a diet approach so I'm really excited about it. Joining the gym (again) tomorrow. We're in Oregon just outside the Portland area. Feel free to add me, I'm terrible about keeping up on message boards, but I'm using the app on my phone and can message through it.

    I'm also in my early 40s looking to lose about 50lbs. Actually set my goal at 45lbs by 45th birthday (June). I'm in Alberta, Canada and looking for a few friends on here.

    I'm late 40's but I find age doesn't really matter too much on this site. My friends vary from late teens to 60 something, I find it is more about motivation, determination and support, we all have the common interest in losing weight and living a healthier life. Feel free to add me if you want.
  • Hi everyone, it seems this forum is getting really quiet. I'm turning 42 yrs old early next year, been on this site since 2011 which helped me a lot in losing 50 lbs. However I regained some of my weight after I suffered an injury 6 yrs ago and now I recently came back here to help me in my new journey as I'm now in my 2nd half of my life and more reasons to get in shape.

    Great to meet feelow Gen Xers here.
