    Tired of making the excuses, just hit my 42nd birthday and yet again I'm still not where I want to be! So I'm starting all over again. Really need to add like minded women to motivate each other to reach our goals!

    OMG! I hope it's not too late I've just started out and I'm 48. You do right to take control now. Don't get to this time next year still thinking the same thing.

    Umphmph!!! What do you mean 'hope it's not too late'. You are but a babe yet. I am 61 and I know it is not too late for me. So go for it and enjoy doing it. Make it fun and enjoy life whilst you are doing it.

    Hi there. I'm in my late 40's. I don't think it's too late and as one fellow quoted earlier... If you are breathing, then it's never too late. :)
    Cheers

    I decided 6 months ago at age 42 that I was finally ready to end my weight struggles. Do I wish I would of taken it this seriously when I was in my 20's or 30's? Of course. But I could see myself at 50 thinking "I wish I would have done this in my 40's".... It was time. And I have lost 88 lbs so far! I have a long way to go yet, but I am confident that I will get there. It is never too late!! :smile:

    I'll be 45 in exactly 1 week. I started trying to get healthy Feb 2010, lost 35 lbs and now I gain and lose the same 10lbs over and over:) I'm okay with that. I can run 5 miles now, its a slow 5 miles, but I can run it. I couldn't run to the end of my drive before my 43rd bday. So no, its not too late. Hard work, dedication!!! Feel free to add me if you want:)

    This. I am 63, joined in August and have lost so far 16.3 Kgs (36 lbs). Only 2 Kgs from my goal, although I may revise that down by another kilo. I haven't finished yet.

    I just turned 43 a few weeks ago and I have lost almost 35 lbs in the past 4 months, so it can be done. I never had a problem with my weight until I had a baby at 38, and then spent a few years thinking that the extra weight was just what happens when you hit a certaing age. Then this past fall, I had a wake up call and took a hard look at my eating habits and realized that my attitude had allowed me to develop some seriously bad eating habits. Once I went back to exercising and eating better, I started to lose. Yes, it has definitely been harder to lose and tone at this age. Gone are the days when I can drop a dress size in a week or have ripped arms after a few work-outs, but that doesn't mean I can't get there eventually. On the plus side, I'm older and have the patience and self-discipline to make it to my goal. Something my 20 year old self might have lacked. Best of luck to you.

    Hello eureka,

    I'm also 42 and I know it's not too late :0)

    I recently discovered this Site,as in yesterday, and decided to have a look in the forums to see what is happening. I've been through the weigh watchers plan twice and met with some success, admittedly the failures were on my part for not sticking with the program. Have any of you had this experience? Weight watchers doesn't help with nutrition as much as it counts calories. Maybe I'm just making excuses... I am making excuses.

    The upshot is that I have 50 more pounds to loose. And I need help, beyond a frontal look lobotomy.

    I live in Canada in the province of Saskatchewan and I'm an industrial carpenter at a potash mine. I know, I know,... It sounds SO glamorous but the reality is that it is a great job. Work with 1000 guys, wear dirty clothes all the time, swear, dirty jokes, talk crap, then go home. I'm currently single but I do have a three legged beagle I rescued while I was in Taiwan. He can't open pickle jars and he does hog the bed but he can't talk (except with his eyes) and sometimes that is a wonderful thing.

    So post on with details of your life and what we euphemistically call our weight loss "journey ". It should be weight loss bungle in my case.

    Have a great day and keep that heart rate up.

    I'm almost 65, ,and had gained and lost the same 25 lbs for decades, so thought I "could not lose". Baloney! It's just a matter of setting your number and then eating to that- and of course logging.

    I'd wish you good luck but luck has nothing to do with it. It's a matter of behaving in a way that gets you the results you want. Welcome!

    Hi, my thoughts exactly. I turned 40 last September and felt great, since then diet and exercise have gone down hill. I found this site and I am determined to do it this time, once and for all.
