Wow, this is some great feedback - thank you! I agree that I do need to exercise some patience. It's tough when I see "lost 2 lbs," "lost 1 pound," etc. on my MFP newsfeed every day - seems like everyone is losing steadily! Anyway, I will stay the course and see what happens!

Wow, congrats on giving up Facebook! I need to do the same, or at least take a looong break. I am new too and would love to cheer you on. Please feel free to add me (and anyone else here can do the same, always looking for new buddies!).

Welcome, and feel free to add me - I'm a newbie, too! Congrats on your loss so far!

Thanks for the replies! Adding you guys now!

I think I've added everyone on this thread. We can do it, gals (and guys!)! I know that I will stumble along the way, and when I do I'm not going to do my usual "Oh, I blew it, screw this whole thing!" Instead I am going to just get right back up on that saddle and keep moving forward. If it takes me awhile to shed this…

Congrats on your loss, Christa! That's inspiring. It's amazing how a few extra pounds can wreak havoc with your joints. It will be good to have people to lean on when the food temptations rear their ugly heads... :)

Thanks, ladies - it's so good to know I'm not in this alone! Yes, we should definitely create a 40s group if there isn't one already :). Michelle - congrats on maintaining your weight loss!

Hi Rebecca! Feel free to add me, or I'll send you a request. I'm new here as well and also looking for fellow "losers." Don't want to go this alone. :)

I'll be 40 in October (does that count, lol)? Would definitely love to connect with some folks in this age group - this process is much easier when you can share it!
