Hi,

I'm just starting back on this lifestyle change and I'm looking for inspiration for gals around my age and weight loss goals. I currently want to lose around 70 pounds.

I'm finding with age, the weight is just not as easy to come off as it had in the past. With "life" happening around us, kids to attend to, work to be done, etc..it is just plain 'harder'.

Is there a group already out there for us or would anyone like to get a group together for moral support, that would be great!

Angie

    Hi! I am 25 and have about 60 to lose to get to my 1st goal of 160. I started out at 221 and I am currently 215 or so. I lost all that in 10 days! I am excited to start this new way of life and finally lose the weight after 8 years!

    Hi there... I'm going to be 42 next month.... I'm almost ...getting close to my mid-way goal.... I've lost about 15 pounds over the last few months, but I still have 25 to go .... I'm on MFP every day, and I know this journey is not easy, I exercise 6 days a week, and log everything I eat/drink. I am very dedicated to loosing weight and most of all ~ being Healthy !
    Good for you for taking the first step, it is a LOT harder as we get older, So true !!! I'd love to connect if anyone wants some support !
    Good luck to you all !

    I am 44 and have 100-120 to lose. I agree it is harder in our 40s ... but not impossible. My sister is 50 and lost 50 lbs in a year so I know it can be done.

    Wow great job. I'm 49, 50 in Nov just started with MFP. Don't want to be fat and unfit at fifty so aiming to lose around 56 lbs. Seems like a drop in the ocean compared to what you have acheived. Your a great inspiration, thanks.
