in Motivation and Support
Hi. I’m 53 with the THREE M’s….Married, Mom, Menopause. I had previously lost 35 pounds and was at my maintenance weight for over 4 years. Gained some back recently…Struggling….and finding it harder to lose now that I’m an older gal. Looking for female friends, any age, to keep each other uplifted every day.

My Diary is private. I’m not looking for anyone to critique my food choices and I won’t criticize yours, just seeking support. :)

    Hello there! Can you count me in? I like your positive atitude!

    I am 48, single, but I am sure I will fit in. I want to loose the weight before the menopause and I have around 50 pounds to loose. I am new here and from Europe so I hope I will find this later :)

    My plan is to survive until Christmas and than start after that overeating with family and friends.
    What is your plan?

    Hi there. I'm a 54 year old mum of 6 children (4 of them are out of the home). I am looking to lose a little over 30 lbs, and would love to have accountability partners (it's not so easy for me to do this on my own).

    Hi! I'm 52 year old and also the THREE M's! I have recently packed on a few pounds and would like to lose 12-15 pounds. I would love to have some positive support and a gang to cheer me on. I always do better with accountability.

    I am all in now that the holidays are over and I am back to cooking and eating meals at home. Weight is gradually beginning to come off. Watching portion sizes, making good choices and working towards getting back to my goal weight of 140 (I am 149.6 pounds this morning). Also walking, biking, and weight training. The funny thing is that my brothers, their wives, and even my own mother asked how I stay so slim.

    Hi there, I'm 59 and have a goal to lose 50 pounds this year. I'm an avid hiker and most of my workouts are outdoors in nature. I've got 3 grown kids, 6 grandkids and a husband who doesn't love hiking but adores me so comes out on some of my adventures. Add me, I'm looking for motivation buddies.

    I'm 53 with three M's also. I have three kids out of the house and two teenagers. I love to hike, camp, and bike. I've been hampered the past year when my hip gave out. I'm in line for a hip replacement but would like to lose some weight pre surgery so here I am. I teach so am shooting for summer surgery. Looking forward to the shared support.

    Hi, I would like to join this group. 58 year old mom, done with menopause, demanding job, gained 40 pounds over last 15 years. Happy to be back on track thanks to myfitnesspal, which my teenage son recommended I try last fall. Tracking everything I eat has been eye-opening and I’ve started moving my body again. Have lost 19 pounds and 21 to go to goal weight of 125.

    Hi! I’m 40 and a mom of two very small children. I have the terrible eating and exercise habits that go along with that. I’m pretty committed to losing 20 pounds this year. I log EVERYTHING daily but keep it private, too. Any of you powerhouse women can feel free to add me!

    Exactly the type of support I came here looking for. Need some buddies to be on MFP with and give and receive encouragement.

    Third weight loss journey and need to be my last. Then onto maintenance for the long haul. Health issues with spine, muscles, nerves.

    47 years young. Yorkie mom. Retired.

    Hi all. 52 and looking to reduce from 231 to 125’ish. Menopause started last year but my hot flashes were not very bad until I started the diet. Now I’m down 30 pounds in 86 days…and the hot flashes come fast and furious at night, usually about 4 hours past evening meal and coincide with horrendous munchies. I’ve been reading how we store estrogen and other appetite inducing, blood sugar regulating hormones in our fat. Wondering if fat burn it causing this increase in hot flashes and late night cravings? Anyone else experiencing a similar phenomenon?

    I’m a 61 year old mom (Empty nester now) who is trying to lose 25 pounds (yet again) after a rough year full of roadblocks (emotional and physical). Menopause? I’m still in it. 🙄
    I would love to support you in your journey!
