    I'm 45 and struggling to lose weight. It seems that once we hit 40 it gets difficult. I would like to be encouraged along the way. Feel free to add me and I will support you this journey too.

    Yesterday, I walked an hour in the morning and 2 hours in the evening after work. Today, I didn't feel like working out this morning, but will most likely continue the 2 hour elliptical walk in the evening.How about you?

    Feel free to add me. I'm over 40.

    The pounds seem to be so much harder to lose now!

    I was so happy to see this thread, as I was specifically looking to connect with other women in my age range. I'm 44, live in Florida (grew up in Michigan), and have struggled with my weight my entire life (like so many of us, right?). I finally hit my goal weight this year and it's still a constant battle. As soon as I get a little "comfortable" I gain, which is where I find myself now... needing to drop a few again. I have found that logging my food helps, but also when I'm on here connecting with other people I'm not putting as much bad food in my mouth. Please feel free to add me.

    Harder as we get older. I have Menopause and I am not fooling myself.

    Turned 40 in April. I have lost 20 lbs since having my son but have 35 more to go. I'll worry about the next goal once I hit this one. :-) all can feel free to add me. I need to stay on track and am looking for accountability as well.
