Default Mom of four in forties
looking to buddy up with someone. Ive lost 7 pounds so far, 11 if I count how much I weighed before Christmas. Im currently at 155 with a goal in mind of 120. Ive lost to 130 a few times in my life but only maintained it for a year at a time.

Well now I want to lose down to even less weight,and want to maintain it. I have one health issue and need to control it as well, so losing weight will definitely help me. Im a SAHM, but work part time from home. Because a couple of my kids are older, I can pretty much leave the house to workout when I want to. I am a walker, and walk anywhere from 3-7 miles a day. I try to keep my calories around 1200. I am five three.

I found this forum through another great weight loss site, and figured the more encouragement the better.

Anyone care to buddy up? It definitely motivates ME to motivate you!

Hi and welcome. I can point you to a few threads you might enjoy. There are several under Calorie Counters in the General Diets section, there are at least two for we 40 somethings and there are some for daily exercise and walkers. I'm sure you find lots of compatriots and you'll have fun.

Yes, welcome! I love to walk also but due to our terrific Oregon weather, it's been impossible. I might as well swim each day. (We've been flooding off and on for a week now) LOL!!!

Encouragement???? You got it! You'll also get motivation and inspiration while you're here. I hope you stay with us. It is such a fun place to be when you start to get discouraged about anything. I come here daily and my motivation keeps going, and going, and going!

Stay strong!

I also am in my 40's with 4 children. I would love to have a weight loss buddy. I have lost weight many times in my life and always put it back on. I am new to this site and could use help!
