I'm 47 and lost the 40+ pounds I wanted to lose, but it did take a lot longer than I thought it would. I think as you get older, your body does want to hold onto more fat (at least that's what my doctor said). I can say losing the last 10 pounds (getting down to low teens in body fat) took WAY longer than I expected.
As others have said, losing weight is all about what and how much you eat. You should view exercise as something you do to stay healthy, not lose weight.0 -
43. Life style change (pretty active work -> sedentary work) with no change in eating habits resulted in a 60 lb weight gain. In the process of fixing those bad habits0

This! I didn't try losing weight until a year and a half ago. I am 48 and down 173 pounds in that time.0 -
I'm 44 and haven't lost the weight and I know it's because of inconsistently eating right. I've heard that 80% of the formula is the right diet - you can't exercise enough to compensate for eating wrong. I think this is true based on previous success I've had. If you're looking for friends on MFP to help keep you motivated, friend me! I'm just starting back up after falling (jumping!) off the bandwagon last year. I'm motivated by a lot of the comments on this thread.0
