    *waves* 40 here. I still cringe when I say that! It's been a difficult transition from my 30s..... I don't cope well with change!

    +1 for that! Still not quite come to terms with it...

    What if it takes a decade and I just get used to being 40 and then I turn 50?!

    I'll be 48 in a few months. I'm 15 pounds down with 32 to go. I am working hard to rethink my "relationship" with food, including: What I eat - Where I eat - With whom I eat - How often I eat - What times and days I eat - When to fast, etc,

    Then there's this whole exercise thing. Burning 150 or so calories after a hour of walking seems like a weak payoff, so I have to remind myself that exercise is only one part of weight loss. I'm better off focusing on movement being good for stress reduction, cardiovascular strength, lymph system health, etc. Obviously I'm a work in progress and having motivational buddies sounds good to me.

    Hi, I'm 49 and aiming to lose to 20 or so lbs I put on after I lost the weight (I was 180 then, and am 5'4") 7 years ago. Cue the life stress, perimenopause, dark chocolate, indolence, cookies, oh-sure-I'll-never-put-it-back-ons and so on. So here I am! Am calorie counting and walking/running, which has been the best combo for me so far.

    I'll be glad to be friends with you! Looking forward to meeting you :)

    Hi! I'm Lainey!

    I will be 44 this year and the encouragement I get from this site has made a big difference in my weight loss. Seeing other people's progress and hard work makes me want to work hard too! So, feel free to add me and I will give you the same support everyone has given to me.

    Welcome and good luck!
