Hi...I'm 59 and I'm afraid losing weight does not get easier! I always thought "older" people were so silly when they told me this when I was the young one!

I'd love to be your friend, too! I'm pretty new to this. I've only been on this one week, but I did lose good last week!! Only 38.6 lbs to go!

I am 48 and just found this site, looking forward to tracking my journey with you all. I want to lose 25-30 pounds. I have gained 20 pounds back of the 74 I had previously lost.....I was almost to my goal when I started to gain weight again. I am trying to catch myself from getting out of control again.

Wow...looks like you got friends... and more friends then you may have expected. I'm 49 and feel your pain (from calorie counting and exercise...lol). Feel free to friend me and also to anyone else who is looking for friendship. I will support you but expect feedback as well. Good luck on your journey.

Hi. I'm 44 in 3 days.
I've struggled with my weight all my life but keep trying!
I have been using MFP for 11 wks and think it's just great! You can add me if you like!

WOW, Thank you all so much, for all your comments, support and requests, I'm over whelmed

I've accepted all requests sent to me, I've also added as many as I can (keep going through post)

I will add all that have asked. If I miss you, please just add me

I'm so glad I did this post and found lots of new friends just like me

I've had some messaged also regarding depression/anxiety as this is also something I suffer with (managing a lot better now though)

So I look forward to us all supporting each other and breaking through our 40 and upwards age weight block

Turning 51 next month! Yes, it's much easier to gain and harder to lose. I believe exercise is the key to keeping in shape at our age. We just can't ever give up! One day at a time!

I am 44 and was never slim. I try lo loose 23kg but will be OK with less as well. I just see this as an opportunity to live healthier.
I am looking forward to seeing your progress and showing mine.

Hello,
I am 46 and was having a very hard time losing weight until I found this site. I feel I have been very successful here. It is a slow process but it works.

You can add me as your friend. I am 55 and yes it is hard to loose those pounds that we put on.

CrazyDaisysMommy

feel free to add me! I turned 40 in January and it really is harder now to lose. Even when I was training for a marathon, the weight went no where. But my sister is 14 months older and she has become super fit through exercise, so I know it can happen!

Debby0904

I totally agree with Diane about the protein. Also decrease your carbs but not too low that you feel fatigued. Along with weights weights weights! You'll get smaller even if the scale doesn't show it.
Feel free to add me. 44 and LOVING this journey!

I would like some friends of the same age please
Thanks

I am 45 and teach a HARDCORE SPIN class and a personal trainer. Yes it IS HARDER but you can do it! You have to watch what you eat and get in AT LEAST an hour of cardio a day...just to maintain.

I would love to receive and offer support within this group!

Hi, I am 50 and going thru menopause. JOY!! You can add me. I get a lot of low carb recipes from the following website: www.genaw.com/lowcarb. There are some awesome recipes in there. My husband and I both love them. I have lost 33 pounds. They come off very slowly, but I eat plenty and have created a book of these recipes so it has become more of a lifestyle instead of a diet. Good Luck! For munchies I have found veggies straws and veggie chips that help with that salty, crunchy craving.

I am 46 and ditto, finding harder to lose weight.
Now I wonder if any of you guys are noticing this.MFP does not give allowance for a lot of protein. I am above on my protein intake everyday whereas I know I can easily go more than that .It confuses me .Any ideas?
Feel free to count me in
