Hi All! 👋🏻 I am 45. I am a wife and mother of 2 teenage children. I am on a weight loss and getting in better shape journey. 😀 I have been in little bit of a workout and food slump for the past couple of months. ☹️ But I am getting back on track and I enjoy having some MFP friends I can relate to so we can keep each other…

I’m 45 and completely understand. I walk/run and do Bodypump and the occasional stretch class. Unfortunately I feel like it does take a little longer for our bodies to recover than when we were in our 20s. I can only speak for myself but I try to listen to my body. I very slowly add weight to my workouts. And if I hurt…

OP, let me first commend you for starting your journey on the road to a healthier YOU. I know that taking the first step on that journey seems like jumping off the side of mountain! You are on the right track you just have to find what works for you. Everyone has different bodies, metabolisms, nutrition needs, etc. Keep…

I do agree with some of the others that posted HIGH WAIST is the key to my workout pants fitting right and not rolling down so bad. And I like to wear a longer tank under any top I wear becuase I don't like my shirt riding up and my momma belly showing and if my pants do roll down a bit the tank helps cover that until I…

HI! Good for you for wanting to get healthier! And MFP is a great tool. My advise is just don't give up. Keep working out at it and take it day by day. I like what one of the other members said about changing one thing at a time. I restarted in November by after letting myself go for a long time. The first thing I did was…

I had a post ready to send when I realized I skipped over the most important piece of information you gave us in your original post. YOU ARE DIABETIC! I think you need to consult your doctor if you haven't already and ask him/her to help you come up with a safe, productive game plan for your weight loss goals. There may be…

I am restarting as well. I do think having a motivational group helps. Especially other women who are on the same journey. Feel free to add me.

Good Luck on your journey to a healthier YOU! I too have a goal of over 50 lbs to loose. Just take it one day at a time.

Good morning! I am a wife and mother in my 40s. I restarted my weight loss journey in December and I am trying my best to keep on track with the help of MFP. It is nice having other women here on MFP to keep each other motivated. You are welcome to add me as a friend if you would like.

Also any of the other responders in this thread I would love some more MFP friends. Add away

You are welcome to add me. I have started back in January after about a year away. And it is nice to know that others struggle with the same issues. Good Luck!!

Not sure what your likes and dislikes are when it comes to tastes but you could add in a granola bar or protein bar as a snack. I have found some Special K protein bars that are good. And I love the Kind brand bars. That will normally give you around 200-300 calories. And for lunch I love a homemade salad with chicken,…

I have run out of excuses so I a trying hard to keep myself motivated. After letting myself put on a lot of pounds over the past few years I knew I had to make a change! Started back this week! Would enjoy having some ladies on MFP to keep each other motivated. Don't give up! "One Day at a Time" has become my motto!

44 here!! I got down to my lowest weight about 7-8 years ago and I let life get in the way and I have let it get back up there. I definitely feel like getting off in my 40s is going to be harder. I tried a couple of time over the past couple of years and it just wouldn't last! I am starting over so I am going to try to…

I am 4'11" and weigh 195. I am looking to get down to around 120. I know it is going to be a tough journey but you can do it. I have just decided to start my journey and I am just trying to remember to take it one day at a time. And try to not stress out about tomorrow just conquer today! Take care and don't give up! I…
