    Feel free to add me, I need friends too for motivation! I am 41 with a 17 year leaving for college at the end of the summer. She helps motivate me. Turing 40 was rough!

    I am 47 and all of my children are adults, with the baby being 19 yrs old. I am a grandmother and in order to keep up with a 5 yr old, I need to be in shape. Needless to say, that is why I joined. I have lost 4 pounds in a month and feel like I need to step it up. I am excited about the 4 lbs but I noticed that I have hundreds of calories left after I am done for the day and don't feel hungry. I have boosted my weight loss to try to motivate me to losing more pounds per month. I am hopeful that I will begin to see some change. All you have to do is, instead of sitting on the couch, sit on the floor and stretch while watching tv or buy a fitness ball and bounce and do some toning and stretching while watching. Eventually, you won't need anything to motivate you, just that you know the pounds will begin melting, Not as fast as you wish but they are going.:wink:

    Hi. Feel free to add me. I'm 43 and have twin 13 year old boys and a 3 year old girl. I've been on MFP since the end of January and have lost 31 lbs. Still want to lose about 15 - 18 lbs. Anyone can feel free to add me as a friend!

    Hello,
    I just signed up today. I'm 40ish with two 15 yr olds and one ten yr old. I tried to start this last summer and did good exercising only for 2-1/2 months. Signed up to meet someone on regular basis twice in Jan and life gets in the way and now I realize that five months have gone by and the weight I could have lost in that time. I hope to lose abt 200 lbs. I can't believe this is where I have ended up and how quickly it adds on. I know this is going to be a long road and take time and needs to be a lifestyle change.

    I'm 47 with 3 grown kids, 23, 20 and 18, all still with us at home. The 40's were not good to me- put on a lot of weight, but now I'm looking forward to a much healthier me. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for friends and support :smile:

    What they hey....I have no friends on MFP yet -- a bit of a lurker! But I am 45, mother to an 8yo boy. I've been on MFP for exactly 2 months and have lost 10 of the 27 I ultimately hope to lose. I'd love to give...and get....some support along the way.
