Hi
New here, I'm looking for friends with 3+ stones to lose who are in their 40's.
Does it get harder to lose the weight as you get older or is it just me?

    Hi - I just turned 41 last week and in the past 18 months I've dropped over 6.5 stone. Personally I've found it not too hard, its just a matter of finding the right food and exercise that work best for you and that you can make a permanent part of your life.

    I should say it doesn't matter what age you are, if you are committed to this process you can achieve your goals

    That's my position. Turned 45 last week and have over 3 stones to lose. Recently I've been yo-yoing up and down the same few pounds and I think I'm discovering that though I've upped my exercise dramatically, increasing calories *at all* in response seems to result in no weight loss. I've also found out my thyroid is 'borderline' - not quite in a state where I need meds, but not operating optimally so I'm now really looking at nutrition as an improver to thyroid function.

    Feel free too add :)

    I've lost around 3 stone but I have about the same to go again. And the second half seems much harder. I lost a load of weight when I was in my late teens and kept it off for a long time - so yes, I think it is much harder this time around. I also think trying to fit it all in with jobs/work/children etc makes it much harder.

    I'm early fifties and have lost over 3st now, yet had never managed it before int he past 25 years. So yes, it's possible, and entirely do-able if you are determined and have the arsenal to defeat the inevitable temptations etc.

    Great news of me then! I often think it's too late to turn my life around. It's good to see and read results to the contrary. I am really pleased with this! X

    I'm early 50s and need to lose three stone, but have set myself a slightly lesser target of 36lbs for the time being. I've never successfully lost weight and kept it off for any length of time, so this time I'm doing it properly, slowly but surely and hopefully making some lifestyle changes along the way.

    I'm 'darn sarf' in Sussex.
