    Count me in! I am 43, will be 44 this summer. I LOVE being a Granny (have a 2yo granddaughter whom I absolutely ADORE), but I want to be a HOT, SEXY Granny, not a fat, frumpy one... I want to be able to play and run with her and have fun, not be the granny who has to sit on the sidelines because I am too fat and out of breath to do anything....

    Wishing us all the BEST!!!

    Hi ladies,

    I just started up again today and really want to suceed this time. I fail often at dieting and I think it's the lack of people to talk to about it that does it. Also not much of a challenge when no one is around to kick me when I need it.

    I'm 42 this year so count me in and feel free to add me.

    Yep, I'm in. I turned 40 in October last year after losing about 50lbs!. I now have about 15-20 to go. I can relate to the granny shop thing, when I was heavier I used to try and look nice but never really liked the clothes I could buy. It's great to be able to shop in 'regular' shops, although I still sometimes try on an extra large and it's too tight!! I'm a 12/14 UK size... that is NOT extra large!!!

    p.s. Feel free to add me, I'm new on here :)

    I'd love to join! I'm 41 and finally feeling motivated to do something about the extra 50 pounds that I have put on in the last 3 years since my divorce. It's time to turn things around!

    WOW! I believe I found the right group of ladies :-). I'm 48 years old (will be 49 in April) and need to get rid of what I like to call my "depression" weight. Gained it over the last few years as life got frightening. Now that things are straightening out and calming down again I really am focusing on my health. I've recently gotten back into cycling (after a 23 year hiatus from a major biking accident). Been loving it and have been looking for a way to track everything I do to keep me on task. The kids are grown and moved away so now its all about me! :-) I hail from Tucson, Arizona so the weather is great most of the time.

    I just created my account today so I'm brand new to this site and these tools. Hope to find and be great motivation for everyone.

    I'm 45, count me in! Feel free to add me as well, I need all the help I can get. I'm looking to lose about 40 lbs. and it's proving to be harder than I thought. My brain seems to think I'm still in my 20's, but my body just won't cooperate...LOL!

    I am 41 years old and have been on MyFitnessPal for 2 weeks and going strong! I had a girlfriend die last year from obesity-related heart disease and diabetes and that really affected me. Time to get this weight off for good!

    So sorry to hear of your friend.... it is an eye opener. Good luck to you!!

    Don't remember who I'm quoting from the thread but please count me in. Gonna be 43 in a few months and I can totally relate to "depression weight" and would rather dress like a sexy "swinger" than a frumpy Granny and wanna cry every time I go shopping and nothing fits me.
