Hi, I'm 47 yrs and 4'10 - I've lost around 30 lbs and need to lose 30 more. I would love to see success stories of others that are over 40 and petite.

    I am 52.

    I am just about 1 pound away from 50 lbs.. lost, have to do a check-in tomorrow.

    My profile pic is 39 lbs. down, I have about 20 to go, then I will re-evaluate.

    There are tons of us over 40 on here successfully reaching our goals.

    I'm 44 and still looking to drop the typical and elusive 15 lbs. But 15 lbs is 15 lbs and it's getting that much harder to lose at this age. I'm not giving up though. I'm pretty active and workout 5x a week but it's my eating habits that I'm trying to control.
