Are there groups out there for 40+ year olds?

Hi everyone! I just started using the web site. Can anyone point me toward some motivation groups that are for the 40+ crowd or for people wanting to lose 100 or more pounds? Thanks for helping get me pointed in the right direction!

Not sure about those over 40 wanting to lose 100 lbs, but I am 41 trying to lose. I did lose 33 and still have 12 to go. I lost most on the South Beach diet. It worked really well and I have kept it off for 3 years. The last 12 are stuck. That is why I came here. Trying to cut calories to see if that helps. I will start with exercise as soon as the kids go back to school and I will have my mornings free. Maybe it will be gone by the time I turn 42 in October! Good luck. I really like this site.

Hi. I'm 47 and over the last 3 years I've lost 95 lbs, mainly by writing down what I eat and exercising. I've been on the Atkins diet, which gave me a ton of energy, but now and then I did need carbs. After losing 45 lbs on that I switched over to the Sugar Busters Diet, which has worked very well. I do love my carbs!
Good luck and stick to it. It gets frustrating at times but just hang in there. It's worth it!!
