Hi everyone! I just joined this group because being over forty we have a whole new set of challenges! I look forward to hearing from all of you!

Hi All! I'm Amanda, and I'm new to this group! I have 2 weeks left of Noom, which has been amazing! I lost 20 pounds and I feel amazing! I really liked the group portion of Noom, so I want to try to get connected here as well. I turn 40 in September, and I want to be in AWESOME shape!

Hello I'm new to the group. I have been trying to loose weight off and on but they say it's not over night it's a journey. Sooooo here I go again back on track.

Hi. I'm restarting my use of MFP. I had dropped off because most of my friends became inactive. I'm 46, about to be empty nest and an active user of MapMyFitness. I could use a group of supporters and I can be the same for you.

HI, I'm Dani. 47, fat and tired of being tired all the time. I want to be a better me in 2020. More water, less crappy food, move my *kitten* more, go to the gym and stop mindless boredom eating! I am currently 218lbs, and my ultimate goal is somewhere around 135-140. I'm going to make my first goal to get into ONE-derland, and from there, chunk it into 10lb goals until I reach my end weight.

Let's do this!

Hi, I'm 42 (for a few more weeks) and I'm making a new effort to lose weight now that I've come to terms with some stuff. Mainly that I can't stick to one thing. Low carb? Not when my stomach is a pit of acid. Exercise? Depends on what the other pain is doing today. ... etc. Everything depends on so many variables, and I've finally been able to realize that what I need to do is what I can in the moment, and not try to make concrete plans I'll only hate myself for failing.

Mainly what I've been able to do is focus on increasing vegetables, being mindful about how food makes me feel, and considering questions like "would I enjoy that donut more now, or tomorrow morning?" And recently I've started attempting intermittent fasting.

Have lost about 9 lbs since June, goal is to lose another 110 by the end of 2021.

Hi, everyone! New to the group, and I've used MFP in the past, but decided new year, new me, new MFP! (So, if you're looking for MFP friends, feel free to add me because my feed is looking lonely and I'd love to pull out my pompoms for y'all!).
I'm Kat, 39 (but I turn 40 in two months, so it seemed silly to join a 30-something group). My weight has always been a roller coaster. I reached a high in 2009, and after my mom died in 2010, I dropped 60 pounds in a pretty unhealthy way (under-eating, a lot of processed diet foods and over-exercising, etc.). I also never dealt with the mental stuff behind my eating, so as soon as I reached my goal weight, I went back to my old eating habits AND injured myself from the over-exercising. Obviously this was not a great combo, and over the next 9 years, I gained those 60 pounds back PLUS an additional 80 pounds. I hit my highest ever weight in November of 2019 and said, "Something has to change!" I was losing slowly throughout 2020 until the holidays, but doing a LOT of the mental work, so now I'm here to focus on the physical.

Hi - I'm making the switch to calorie and macro tracking from Weight Watchers but still feel I gravitate over to the WW platform because of the community feel. I'm an old fitness addicted who retired and in the last year started to fall back in love with it and starting to enjoy working out at home. I follow LMOD and love the Trip, Sh'bam and do pump as well (never had love for that lol) - anyway hi

I'm Jenni 🥰 Been here a long time but have seen many friends come and go. Add me if you think you may stay a while 🤗😍😘💋😻🥰
