WOW, you look amazing!

Hey 40's! I am 49 and started using mfp in March. 2012. I love this site and would love to connect with people more my age, as our bodies are changing and react differently than in our 20's and 30's...it is nice to compare and share with others going through the same things, seems my metabolism is much slower than it used…

LOVE THIS POST!!!! THANKS! GREAT INSPIRATION AND SOOOO TRUE!!!!

I was told, if you are eating fruit, eat it early in the day so your body has time to work it off. Thats what I do and it seems to be ok.

you look great!!! keep up the good work!

I'm guilty of the same weekend screw ups.. I just try to make sure I exercise a bit more and if I have a drink or two, its the low cal kind. My husband and I went out for lunch on Saturday, I ordered a garden salad since I worked hard at the gym earlier that morning, he ordered crab dip appetizer along with his lunch meal.…

ok, this is something I have been needing to do also...I have been afraid to do it while losing weight, fearing that I will eat too much to replace the urge to smoke..any suggestions???

amazing transformations! looking good! you can see in the after pics, how everyone looks so confident and proud!!! and you should be! AMAZING JOB to ALL!!!

I also don't bother with friending men, I am not on here for a relationship, I am married. I want to have and give support from other women close to my age so we can relate to our trials and tributes...

I haven't unfriended anybody yet, but I can see some of the good points for doing so.. I am like what one of the posts said, I keep my group small so I can keep up with everybodys day to day activities and progresses. I also agree that if someone hasnt logged in for a while, they will need a friend to come back to if they…

whoa! What a fantastic job!!!! You look awesome! You are my new inspiration, I started abt where you did and would love to end up at your goal!!!

you look great! Def see a difference! good job and keep up the hard work, you will be at goal before you know it!

yes, most definately!!! I have had this happened to me over and over, so many times! It is very discouraging and embarrassing. I also think, we are our own worst enemies and we pick out every little flaw, where most people just look at the overall person when looking at someone else.

wow, your mother was out of line on this one, While the short skirt may not have been the most appropriate thing to wear, what about the person on the inside??? Doesn't anyone take time to look beyond the cover anymore to see??? Maybe your girlfriend thought she was looking appropriate for the meeting, maybe her sense of…

You look amazing!!!! great inspiration! thank you and keep up the good work!!!

great results!!! amazing!

GREAT PROGRESS! Keep up the good work!

It is so unfortunate that much of society puts someone "looks" first, whether you are over weight, not pretty,your teeth are crooked, you can't afford the latest fashion...etc... Many people do not take time to know the person on the inside, so that is sad, they are missing out on good people, good friends, etc. I totally…

GREAT JOB!!!!:happy:

I have a hard time finding the right fit of jeans also, My legs are long and thats my first hurdle, and I hate the low rise because of my belly also...They closed the Old Navy store here where I live, it seems there are alot of good comments on them, maybe I will look them up on line, only I am not sure what size I am now,…

I also do the pedicure, new shoes, gym clothes thing, no food reward here either..I like the idea of the cash jar, so much $ per workout and so much $ per weight loss, which would be great towards some new clothes when I have reached my goal!!!

making great progress, you can see the difference definately! I think Jillian is a love/hate thing too!!!! keep up the awesome work!:happy:

What a great story, thanks for sharing it! You have grown personally in addition to building a strong healthy body and you have done an outstanding job! You are beautiful inside and out! Keep up the great work, you are amazing!
