    I'm 40 and training to run my first half marathon ever. Found that, for me, running makes losing weight much easier. The half marathon was my not-so-subtle way of telling 40 "screw you"!! LOL

    Feel free to add me as a friend. My only other friend is my husband!! :-)

    I'm 42 and running my 2nd half marathon in two days... started running last year because, as stated above, there is not better calorie burn for the time investment than running. If you had told me last year at this time that I would be running my 2nd 1/2 marathon in a year I would have thought you were CRAZY! Turns out I'm stronger than I was giving myself credit for. I'm eating well and am feeling better than I have in years. The weight is SLOWLY coming off... it's definitely not as easy as it used to be... but I'm determined to get there. I have a whole closet full of clothes waiting for me and I'm getting close! Happy to have new friends... always looking for others in similar situations for mutual support!

    45 here and yes it does get harder.

    The thing to remember is that it's worth it. Things I had to learn - ask questions, enlist professionals if you need to, and don't beat yourself up for not doing it perfectly.

    OH, and keep at it :)

    I'm soon to be 43 and I can honestly say that I move more and do more now than I ever did when I was younger. My late 20's and early 30's was when I was settling in and getting fat... Now I see that I need to take care of myself and I workout regularly and watch what I eat (Thanks to MFP)... I sat on my *kitten* and ate crap when I was younger. Now I do fun stuff like ziplines and white water rafting!!!

    i'm 47 and definitely feel like you have to work harder the numbers don't move on scale...and trying to avoid middle age spread...and sometimes the exercise you did a few years ago..you somehow cant do them now without worrying if your going to injure yourself somehow and i'm talking about knees, back etc

    I am 53 and actually believe that I am in the best shape of my life......and still improving! It took me this long to figure out the right way to do it and stop the yo yo dieting and extreme working out in jan, feb, mar to get ready for spring and summer, then letting it all fall apart by sept. Do it for LIFE! Feel free to add me, anyone! I love the support I get and give, especially from those of us that are older...

    I'll be 49 this weekend, but I'm feeling pretty darn good! I started working out & watching my weight in hopes of putting off full-blown diabetes, since I had the gestational diabetes with both pregnancies & my doctors tell me it is in my future. I'm actually more concerned with firming it all up than dropping the lbs.

    The folks on MFP have been very helpful & encouraging...feel free to add me as well.

    I will be 55 in September. At 40 I was much more active with sports. These days, keeping the weight off has become a full time job. But hang in there. I guess life is all about choices - I can choose to eat whatever I desire and be fat, or I can change my eating habits and be in control. Hopefully I can learn to . . .

    I am 43 and you are correct... loosing weight is harder than ever before. I enjoy exercising so that has been a plus for me and my weight loss journey. Feel free to add me as a friend. I would love to have friends my own age, going through the same challenges.

    I'm 65 and lost 2½ stone in about 6 months last year, so anuthing is possible. It takes time dedication and hard work. Most of all it takes support from your friends here on MFP. Good luck on your journey. XX
