    Hi I just turned 40 and I'm tired of being overweight. I spent most of my life emotional eating, and I have a reputation of being from a big family of big eaters which is hard to shake.

    I started exercising a month ago, and did it successfully for two solid weeks, not with a food diary though. I lost two kilos and now have put it all back since I haven't exercised in two weeks.

    My most difficult challenge is actually being consistent. Not starting and stopping all the time.

    Thanks for listening, its great I can be honest here.

    Hugs to all

    Yes, way over 40 coming in at 57! Soon to be 58. Welcome to MFP. It is a great way to get in shape and make friends. I have lost 10 lbs and though not always consistent come back and try again to stay down. Here you have the freedom to eat what you want. Just not too much! And it is great to have the fitness factored in so you can eat your exercise calories. It encourages you to exercise more! I have 8 children and 8 grandchidren so my stress challenges are great, but I think you will love this!

    I can totally relate to the not consistent. I go on, then off. And emotional eating is a real problem. But hang in there. Though I have those issues I have managed to lose 10 lbs and would like to lose another 10 to be my high school weight. It is not how many times you fall that count, but how many times you get back up!!!!

    I'm 52. As you can see, there are a bunch of 40+'s on here. Have a great mfp experience, as with everything - it is what you make of it.

    Also have 4 children, work part time and am trying to stay fit. Tracking my food has been something I neglect because I am busy. Today I decided to try harder and track. I think it is important. Tons of people of 40, I am 48....
