    Hi, 47 yr old here in northern ireland!!
    lost 91lb a few years ago put 49 lb back on :(
    So am going at it again, & it IS harder to lose the older you get
    but think once us "olders" get something in our heads, we can be
    pretty stubborn !!!!

    Hi,
    I'm 51 yrs. old, have about 50 lbs. to lose and it's a struggle. Most days, I'm under my calorie goal and I'm trying to increase exercise but my weight just won't budge. It stays the same and it's hard not being frustrated.

    Hello, I am 47 years old and am on that path to lose some weight. I used to be quite overweight and lost it years ago. The last 5 years ago let about 30 pounds of that creep back up on me. My husband being deployed over to Afghanistan woke me up. Any support I can do to help you through your journey am here for you!

    Hi I will be 41 on the 14th:)
    Not exactly what exactly my goal weight is just yet. But I am hoping to lose about 50ish pounds. Could never imagine 20 years ago
    I would be struggling with this!! But I look at the success stories on MFP and its very inspiring. I am just starting out in this. I am on week 2.
    Evette :)

    46 and this is my first attempt at getting back in shape since a motorcycle accident 16 years ago.
    I have been working on a "changed lifestyle" rather than a diet since november.
    40lb down and another 90 or so to go.

    I'm finding it surprisingly easier than I thought (please don't throw things at me)

    But i think I've realised that my problem never used to be the amount I ate, just that it was all crap.
    Now its still a fair proportion of crap but in measured doses :)

    Yes! 53 years old, English, now live in the US. I've also just started the C25K (for about the third time) but can't imagine running for more than a minute at a time! I need to lose about 50lbs/just over 3 stone. Feel free to add me.

    I turn 50 this summer and have 65 pounds to lose, but frankly getting the first 30 lbs off would be awesome and I know how much better I feel and look! Take a look at my profile and see if you would be interested in adding me as a Friend to help me start a support group. I am happy to send words of encouragement your way as well.
