Hi!! I have been on a weight loss journey for about a year now...started at 306 pounds. My daughter and I decided to do WW which worked out great for me. Lost 50 pounds using the Points Plus and hit a plateau. So my daughter found this site and she has been doing great and since I have at least 100 pounds till my goal, I have nothing to lose. So if you need encouragement like I do then feel free to add me!! Good luck to everyone!!

Mary Anne :)

    Yes, I am over 40 and trying to lose weight and finish school at the same time. I know your struggle. Good for you losing 50 pounds that is awesome. I know it is hard when you hit a plateau. Keep working on it.

    Hi All,

    I'm 44 and feel that "mid-life" is the best time for me now to commit to losing weight - -- -as my saying goes - "Now or Never". I'm fairly new to MFP - but am doing great so far - - - I love the support and knowing that I'm not the only one in the world on this journey - feel free to friend me. Take Care

    I am 44 years old. Just starting to exercise. I have about 60 pounds to lose to be at a healthy weight according to the BMI chart. I've not been at or below that since high school in the 80's. Scared to commit to a long term solution to a lifetime problem. One step and day at a time, huh?
