    You are welcome to add me. I am 50, have lost 41lbs. Have about 3 more to go, but more or less stuck. I think its hormonal - am in beginnings of menopause. What is everyone doing to cope with Menopause? I still have periods, but have emotional symptoms/night sweats - Dr. put me on bc pills and I must say it has helped so far, and thinks its the low estrogen.. .

    I am 43, just got healthy over the past few years! Best advise I can give you is to build your muscle mass back up, it helps raise your metabolic rate and does some great things for your body as well :-)

    I'm 41 and have been using MFP since 1/1/13. I did 31 days of 60 minute cardio in January, and have created a stress injury in my ankle. I've lost 18 pounds so far through diet and exercise, but need to give my ankle a break. Lesson: 41 year-old muscles and bones don't function the same as 20 year-old bones and muscles. I still need to lose another 25 pounds to get to docs recommended weight. Good luck!

    Hi there, I'm 45 and looking to lose the SIXTY pounds I've gained in the past 4 years. Lots of life changes, new medications and a very sedentary job have really piled the weight on.

    I am really committed to losing this the right way, and could use inspiration. Feel free to add me, too!

    Hey all. I will be 41 this April and am trying for the 71st time (MUST succeed this time) to drop the weight I want and need to drop. Had last 30 from Sept 2012 - end November 2012 and then holidays strung through to Superbowl and I have found 15 back. Re-dedication for myself because I am worth feeling better and being able to live life rather than watch and for my incredible kids and family also. I have to be around for them. Hoping to drop 30 by June 1 and 80 for the year. Feel free to add me for support if you like. Best of luck to all.

    Hi, I am 56, post menopausal, and have 10 more pounds to go. Feel free to add me if you wish. I am recently divorced and I am having more success losing these few extra pounds now that I don't have to cook according to what someone else wants to eat lol. My cholesterol has been creeping up the past few years so I am trying to get it down a little without medication. Last year it was 198....I go tomorrow to get it checked again so I am hoping it will be lower now.
