So I’m now 43 🤢 first joined mfp 7 years ago. Have been in and out, was doing ok until my thyroid gave up on me 🙄 so I’m here again with over 40lb to lose. I’m down almost 10lbs to date so it’s going in the right direction, need to up the exercise but plantar fasciitis is making that harder.
Feel free to add me, advise me and kick me up the *kitten* from time to time 😂.5 -

I think it's time to say this again.
If you're getting friend requests from "people" with "interesting" profile picture, please report them! The staff is trying to stop all this silliness, but for now there's bots taking over old, inactive accounts.
Go to https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10823922/help-inappropriate-friend-requests-pics/ and list the account name. Staff IS paying attention; it's taking a little while to get to them all because.... thousands. Literally thousands.
But please PLEASE report them before you delete the request.
Thanks.
Now back to being my normal grumpy self.....4 -
57 years and 10 over. Tougher to lose this time around but spring is coming and golf with it . Pretty motivated at the present!1

I am new here, struggling with weight loss in my middle aged years. 20 pounds gain in two years, and sciatica on top of it. A few signs of improvement, with a wholesome diet and more steps.1

Hello All, I was away from here for about 3 years. I had lost 90lbs. I had kept that off and been struggling to lost more (the plateau was harsh). With covid and other live stress I've gained it back after 3 years of keeping it off. I am over 400lbs again. Just looking to add friends in my age. I am 40, Female, 400+ bls (will update exact in MFP if I figure that out).1

Good morning! Im 43 with goals to lose my covid weight. I lost over 100lbs 15 years ago and have maintained my goal weight until the pandemic hit and I couldn’t go to the gym. I’ve got about 30 to lose and plan to use Intermittent Fasting along with HIIT and cardio. My diet is already solid, but I’ve noticed I’m going to have to amp up my exercise if I want to stay at goal. Middle age metabolism slow down is no joke. 😅 Feel free to add me!5

Hi everyone! I am 44 and working towards my goal to achieve a weight of 140 by my 45th birthday on July 1st. I am 18 pounds away! I am working from home due to Covid and it has really worked in my favor. I can stop working at a decent time to get to the gym or do a DVD at home but lately I am struggling with some knee pain. The eliptical and bike don't hurt it so I need to recommit to getting to the gym 3 or 4 days a week. My eating is mostly ok with a few binge cycles creeping in lately because I am bummed about the knee pain. Time to flip the switch in my head and get back on it! It's crazy to think that I am less than 20 pounds away from my goal. I have lost about 55 pounds. I am proud of myself and I know I can do it.2

Hey y’all! I’m 47 and in the last 14 months I’ve lost 147 pounds! 60 using weight watchers and then I had a bariatric surgery which totally changed my life — for the better! I love moving and I’m usually trying to get out to climb a mountain or a rock wall or run or whatever. After spending all of my adult life at or over 300 pounds, I’m working hard and enjoying these middle age years. 😂 I’m pretty strict about tracking and I’d love motivation and encouragement from mfp friends so please feel free to add me!6

That's incredible, well done!1 -

Even though I knew I was going to exceed my calorie count on Tuesday, I counted anyway. Usually, those are the days that I skip the diary. And it was eye opening. It's amazing how a handful of this, a little of that, and yeah, I'll try that other thing, can accumulate. I went 1,000 cal over!3

That was me yesterday but I don't know how far over I went yet. I haven't logged dinner but I only had about 350 calories left. No way I was under! But today's a new day 🙂0

I always log even if I am having a tread day or otherwise eat WAY too much. My body knows I ate it, so why would I pretend I didn't? The whole idea of using a food diary is to log what you eat, right? That's how it works!
I am trying to remember my biggest "over," but it was easily 200% of my allowance. The good thing is that I enjoyed what I ate! That's the most important thing. And I logged it, then moved on to the next day and got back on track.2 -

Yep.. I found thats one of the biggest changes I made that helped me succeed. To not stress and feel guilty.. log it, own it and move on.. back on track.2
