40's friends

42 here, you're welcome to add me. Good luck!!

I am 40, will be 41 in a couple of months and plan to be here. I list everything that I eat in my diary so that I am accountable. I am married and have 2 little girls at home, 1 boy away at college. We live extremely hectic lives and it is hard to find time to eat right and keep in shape. Please feel free to friend me. I love to post and support my friends and love to get the support back.

I'm 43, 2 young kids, been on here just over a year..

I think we'd get along great except for 1 tiny thing... that shirt you're wearing in your avatar... :sick: :laugh:

Hi, 48 myself, 49 very shortly. I welcome any support anyone can give and I'll do my best to dole some out too. I intend to be on here for some considerable time, because I have a considerable amount to lose.

Good Morning, I am 43 years old and overweight. I am new to MFP, going through my 2nd week. I have lost 3 pounds so far. I have also learned valuable lessons about why we need to drink water and how my heart pumps daily. I am currently taking medication for acid reflux and thankfully, was taken off of blood pressure medication about a year ago. My goal is to lose about 50 pounds. I am not looking to be model material, I know that my skinny days are over. I would just like to be able to shop in the regular section of the department store instead of fuller figure. I also want to kick the medication to the curb, all together. I don't like taking pills, and I don't like being unhealthy. Please feel free to friend request me. I try to be encouraging and supportive for my friends on their journeys. Each journey is different. I also ask that you please motivate me as well. I am not new to eating right. I actually do not have much of a problem with that. I never counted calories, but I knew what was good for me and what wasn't. Now I stick to my food diary and follow my goal cal, carb, and fat numbers. I do however have trouble staying the course with exercise. I was always tired and in bed early. I am a housewife, so beyond my daily household chores, I am very lax. Recently my husband and I purchased a stationary bike. I am putting in the effort to ride, but I am seeing so many others on here doing so much more. I am slowing getting there, but some days are harder than others. This is where I need the kick in the pants to get moving!!! Being 40 does not mean that we are heading on the downward slope of the hill. I am determine to get to the top and dance for quite awhile before I start heading down. No, I won't get carded any time soon, but staying healthy, feeling good, and looking young (er), all all perks I am striving for!!! This is not a diet, this is a life change. LETS GO - LETS WORK TOGETHER AND ACHIEVE OUR GOALS!!!

First off don't panic. BS of 54 is low but don't over react with a lot of sugar. A small glass of oj or some fruit or a couple of pieces of toast with some jelly. wait about 1/2 hout retake your BS. I have been a diabetic for years but within the last year had to start insulin so i know what you are going through. I sent you a friend request so you can ask me questions. good luck and don't give up.

Hi I am 43 and always looking for friends to motivate and keep me on target. Cheers : )

I am 47 and have 74 more pounds to lose. I am the mother of a 24 year old daughter and a 21 year old son. Would love to be your friend. The journey is hard without support.

:happy: HI!! I'm 41, mother of three teenagers...oh crumb, my oldest turns 20 on Monday...strike that, mother of one 20 year old and two teens!

I've been on her for 70+ days and love it, when I am down about my behavior I can read all sorts of uplifting stories on MFP.

Have a great time with MFP, it get's kind of addicting!
