Any women over 45 looking to connect?

Add me! 51, lost the weight a few years ago and managed to gain it all back plus some.

I am close to 49 with thyroid problems. I would love to blame it all on my thyroid but I can't. I know menopause is causing havoc and all those hormones don't help an emotional eater. This is a great idea getting a group of women together about the same stage of life to get through this journey together with. Friend me and together we'll win this battle.....

Hi, I'm new here but in the same boat as a lot of women our age! I'm 45, and in menopause (surgical~since age 38). Age, combined with NO hormones makes it awfully difficult to lose weight....but mighty EASY to gain it! I'm married, have three sons, and I also have a full time job. I've started a "new year, new me" attitude, and would love to have some friends here. I am eating healthy, and have joined a gym with my husband (and I'm going!) Please add me, and anyone else here can too! I just joined this site yesterday, no friends yet but hopefully that will change!

SW: 174
CW: 168 (6 pounds...woot!)
GW: 140 (?)

Over 45 and fairly new to MFP - would love to have some new friends, so please feel free to add me! I'm originally from Scotland, living in the US now!

Hi All,

I agree with everything all of you have said:) I am 54 from Colorado and would love to connect with other women

I've lost 8 pounds so far...a little frustrated that it's not more. But I need to get more serious.

All friend requests accepted

I am 45, been on here for a short time. The people on this site are wonderful, very supportive, and helpful. My deal is some weeks I'm all for it, exercising, eating right then there are those weeks just want to sit and eat. I think once you get going its easier, and with friends to kick you in the butt you'll be fine. So add me. :drinker:

i'm "49 and holding" (till feb.), i too am an emotional eater. feel free to add me as a friend too. i really welcome the "kicks in the butt" - that keeps me on track and i love to give out support.

This is also me, except I get to turn 50 in May. Happy to have friends of similar outlook.

Hello, I am new to here too, I am 45 years old and I live in Hertfordshire UK, I stumbled on this site through my phone and joined, I think it a fab way to track what I eat each day as I was manually writing everything down.
I haven't really looked around much on the discussion boards but I am a loking forward to doing so.
I am a single parent, and I work full time, please feel free to add me

Hello ladies,

I'm 51 yrs young, 4 pregnancies, last one was at 42 yrs old. I've always been on the thin side but have found at my age the belly fat is here & hopefully not to stay. I've not gone through menopause yet & based on what my mom has told me I may not even notice. I'm 5'5" 133lbs & hate exercising! I will however begin walking 20 mins every other day & I lift 5lb weights 3x a week to help with my arms. I am in contact with a weight trainer who swears it's what we eat in our daily calorie intake & not so much the exercise, although, she says exercising is the added benifit to look good. So here I am trying out this calorie tracker. I just want to lose the middle fat without having to go see a plastic surgeon. I don't smoke or drink (sometimes a Miller lite maybe 2x a month) I love everything chocolate...everything! My friend has asked me to try a drink called Body by Vi for 90 days & swears I'll lose the weight...we'll see. And, I also have a son-in-law who is a reg. dietician so wish me luck.

There, I've said alot. I wish for all of you to end up healthy & in the dream shape you so desire...WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!

I'll be your friend!

I'm 47. and lost lcost to 20 lbs here. Exercise for me isn't what it used to be.

I'm not 45...I'm 41. I will take all the support I can get!
