Hi! I am new to being serious about this phase in life. I am married with two teenagers. Would like to have a few other moms in the same age group to be my support pals!

    Hi there! I am a 41 year old mom of two girls and I am just getting started too. My kids are much younger than yours (2 & 6) and I have realized that I am going to need to be in much better shape in order to keep up with them! You can add me as a friend if you like :)

    Add me! I'm 42 and I have a 10 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. I'm overweight and they are, too...and I feel responsible for this. I'm hoping to be healthy, lose this weight and be a better example. I am going for 40 pounds, but I really need to lose 60. When I get to 40 off I'm resetting for the remaining 20.

    I'd be happy to add you.

    Well, I'm 41, have a 12, 10 & 8 yr old. Have been "watching my weight since I'm in my twenties. Always stayed level until the last year, that is scary! Pounds come from nowhere, I could always use a friend to face this battle with!!

    Hi,

    I fit the bill. I recently turned 45 and I'm a mom to 4 children ages 24, 21, 11 and 10. I'm down 112 pounds in one year on MFP. Anyone is welcome to add me.

    I need more friends too! I'm 44, four kids ages 24,22, 18 and 7. I may be at my goal weight now after 28 lost but I'm undecided what my final weight should be and I'm not anywhere near as fit as I'd like to be yet.

    Will be 41 in July, have a 16yo and an 18yo - both are heading off to college this fall (the 16yo in an early-entrance program.) Am all about new friends, so if you're not overwhelmed with new buds already, drop me a note! :)

    Hi, I'm 45 and a mother of two girls aged 13 and 10. Feel free to add me - and anyone else who reads this, please add me too! I joined a while ago, but didn't really start taking this seriously until a few weeks back, so I consider myself a 'newbie'!
    I live in Melbourne, Australia :-)

    I'll send you a request. I'm 42, two teenagers and about 50 pounds to lose. Ugh. I hate seeing that number. Alright, let's get after it!

    Welcome to the beginning of a great journey. I am going to be 42 real soon. I have 4 kids ( 22-18-16-12). My weight has been creeping up over the years and the reasons why list was long. I have thrown those away and have become serious to taking care of myself as well as taking care of my children. I have almost hit my first goal of 50 lbs. You too can do it as long as you remember it is important to take time for you.
