I'm looking for some 40-years and older crowd to keep in contact with, share goals, motivate, etc. I know that losing weight after 40 is much more difficult than when we were younger and I would love to get some inside ideas that may help speed it up a little bit! :wink:

    41 and this is my 3rd week or so on MFP. I have found it extremely helpful to just be conscious of what I'm eating and it's helped me to make better choices, especially at the end of the day. Still working on increasing the amount of water I drink and getting more exercise, but all in all I'm hooked so far. Feel free to add me :)

    42 here, and last week someone posted a link to a group that's just getting going... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/18961-40-is-the-new-20

    And I always welcome new friends! I'm especially interested in healthy cooking on a budget for a family.

    I am 46 and been on mfp for about 3 weeks now. Anyone feel free to add me. I am on everyday a couple of times.
  • I have been on my journey for a little over a year now. The daily challenges with food choices and exercise is constant. Maybe that is what we take away from this? As long as there are daily challenges, there are daily choices. Where there are choices, there is the potential for progress. When you no longer have the struggle, you have chosen to give up.

    Feel free to join my journey, everyone, and we can share our struggles together.

    I am 55 (54 when I started) and didn't find it hard at all. Discipline and self control come with age.
