    I just joined on Friday. I will be 40 next week. I too am struggling, but this app sure has helped motivate me. I hope it motivates you too! My friend has lost over 50 lbs. I hope to do the same. Good luck!

    Hi... I am 46 and my goal is at least 100 lbs as well. I need support as well. I am so tired of being fat... or really clinically obese.
    I just saw a picture of myself ... oh my my my... .. any support would be wonderful.

    Just found this site and am hoping to use it as a tool. I have already lost about 10 pounds on my own.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Welcome. This is a great site for support and resources. I'll drop you a FR. But I ask that you stay committed, active, and focused on what you want.

    You sound like me! I started my weight loss journey in Jan. I had 30 lbs I wanted to loose. I was just eating less but not working out. I lost 7 lbs by march ( not bad but not great) I then started doing p90x workouts. I have now lost 27 lbs and like 4 sizes! only 3-5 lbs to go an one size!!!! You can do it. It really does just take habit changes. btw I am 36 and have a hubby and 4 kids.
