    After 40 it seems to be that much harder!

    Hi also over 40. Im new here but have lost 60 pounds all after the age of 40 so it can be done. I have 40 (hopefully) left to go. I hope the process Im working here helps me ditch those and maintain that. Any of you can feel free to add me if you would like.

    Ive met great people on here so far. Nice little group.

    Over 40, single mom, working, health issues, etc. Tracking for now, as I have surgery scheduled, but intend to work on the weight loss after I recover.

    I was on mfn for a couple of years. Deleted my account last fall for personal reasons, but I am back. I need the accountability. Time to get back with it.

    44 in one day. Up and down roller coaster of weight loss. Was at my highest ever at end of year. Restarted my journey 1/1. Down 20lbs so far. About 50 more to go.

    I'm 49. Started myfitnesspal over a year ago - lost over 20lbs - got cockey thinking "I've got this down". Stopped logging and guess what? Yep, gained a few lbs back. Frustrated at myself. Just started logging again a few days ago. Need the accountability and motivation to keep going. Please feel free to add me - we are on here for support, so lets support each other!

    Just remember that exercise is for fitness, and calorie deficit is for weight loss. It's entirely possible to lose weight without being able to exercise, so don't wait until you recover to start.
