    If you are old, I am ancient (62 in September).
    But, the fact is, after being on my new lifestyle of eating for almost 16 months now, I am in better shape now than I was when I was your age. Good for you for not procrastinating for all of the years that I did. I wish MFP was around way back then!
    Best of luck to you!

    I am 43 as well but i have the maturity of a teen-aged boy (although sadly, no longer the libido . . . ).

    I lost a bunch of weight and you can too. Being on here is a great first step.

    You, my dear, are not old! :laugh: Old is a state of mind! My grandfather told me that & he was 99 yrs young at the time. Congrats on making the decision to release the skinny girl from within. Mine has been trapped beneath layers of fat for years & she's dying to get out!

    Feel free to add me. We can celebrate their release from captivity together! :smile:

    I am 46 and new to MFP. We aren't really old, but I sure feel it some days. I would love to have new friends on here so add me if you want. I think teamwork works great for motivation. :)

    Excuse me? The 60- and 70-somethings around here beg to differ! My mom is 90 and we let her declare herself old grudgingly.

    Hello.....

    Feeling old too. My doctor suggested that I lose a bit of weight due to arthritis issues in legs and lower back. I'm 43 too. My eldest is in college and two other children live at home with me. Married....hubby's trying to be supportive. I wonder when I became middle aged......was in shape and slender most of my life, then 3 years ago I packed on 40+ pounds living in Italy (great food and wine).

    I generally enjoy walking and biking....but this heat/humidity in Tampa is killing me. I am committing to early morning exercise to avoid these. We'll see.......

    Yeah, 43 is not old!!! You might feel old and that's probably due to the extra weigh bringing you down. But as you make healthy choices, eat better, move more--my guess is you'll feel younger and younger every day! Good luck to you.
