I'm 43 with 3 kids. I keep gaining, losing a little, and then gaining again (but a little extra! so I slowly keep getting bigger and bigger!). Losing and keeping the weight off is so hard. :( And I'm not very disciplined. But I NEED to do this, for my happiness and health.

I'm restarting again too. And it's the same weight I need to lose all over again. I want/need to stay motivated this time!

It sounds like you've found something that's working for you! Weekends are hard for me too! When everyone's home (my hubs and kids), we're more likely to order out or get donuts in the morning or whatever, and it's so easy to say, "Just one!" (and when you're talking about a donut, that's actually quite a lot of fat and…

I'm a wife and work-from-home mom of three kids. It's nice to "meet" you! I REALLY need to cut out junk, especially sugary foods, which are my downfall. Also working on stepping up the exercise.

I love Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred when I'm just beginning to get back into shape. It's short but does a really good job getting your body started on the road to fitness.

That's the worst. I HATE gaining back weight I've lost. But like others have said, you lost weight before and you CAN do it again!

I think I need to start weighing every day. I feel like if I don't, the weight creeps up, or I get lazy about the eating and say, "It's OK. I can eat this junk today because I have a week before I need to weigh myself again. I'll just eat less tomorrow." So I'm going to try the every-day weigh-ins and see if it helps keep…

Sent you a request. I'm looking for friends too. :smile:

I'm starting over too. We got this!! B)

Good luck! I'm right there with you...

"I like my oatmeal lumpy." B) Also from Illinois. Also looking for friends and motivation. Will send you a request.

I'm new too and also on a weight loss mission! We GOT this!!

My calves. :)

I'm totally sexy <3 and also totally over 40. (I'm 41.) I just started. I need lots of motivation.

It's hard for me to know if it's meds or just the stage of life I'm in that have caused so much weight gain. On the one hand, I've been on Lexapro for years now, and my weight has steadily gone up. On the other hand, I'm 41, I've had three kids, I'm more sedentary, and it's the time of life that metabolism slows down. :*

I'm Maria. I'm 41 (turning 42 in January). This is my first time actually using this website, and I'm excited about meeting people and getting started. I am suddenly (OK, it was gradual, but it feels sudden!) the heaviest I have ever been in my life (aside from pregnancy), and I feel like I've really "let myself go." I…
