    I was right where you are this past February, certain i'd never be able to do it. and now i'm just 2 lbs away! (i lost 8 lbs before i started myfitnesspal). My advice would be to just keep pushing, keep going, even when you want to stop, you can't take it anymore - it will get easier. I still can't believe I did it - you CAN do this!

    Me!!! Though I started on Christmas day. I'm the sort that has to just DO it. If I plan a starting date, I will keep finding excuses. So I got a Fitbit for Christmas (by request) and was tracking, logging my food the next day. (Granted, I've had previous 'experience' at this but never really stuck to it long term.)

    I turn 40 in October and I've never been healthier. :)

    Yup, me too! 40 in December. If all goes well I will be the lightest I have been since I was 25. So far so good :)

    I'll be 40 next June. I started last September in my quest to lose weight, and I'm down 50ish lbs with about 10 to go to goal. I have discovered a love for fitness!
