    Turned forty a few months ago in the midst of my weight loss journey. Good luck and I hope you have as much (or more) success as me.

    Does it count if I just turned 40 four months ago? I could still send out a lot of encouragement your way :happy:

    Hi there, wow there are a lot of 40 somethings out there. lol. Well add me to the mix, I'm 46 & have at least 80lbs to lose. I joined MFP a few years ago but never used it until this week so I'm still new to this. Best of luck to you all.

    I'm about to be 42 (in 12 days), and I'm really looking forward to it. Call me crazy, but I'm a Douglas Adams/Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan, and I plan on being the answer every day for a year. And I'm going to let people know it. Heh.

    I also have about 70 pounds to lose. I had made some lifestyle changes last year and was doing okay, but then I got really depressed in November and stopped caring. I ate fast food like 6 times a week, and drank waaaaaaay too much high carb good beer (Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale to be exact). I gained 17 pounds in about 9 weeks. So here I am, recovering and trying again. Now I know I need a plan for the holidays. Hopefully I'll take off enough weight before next year that falling in that hole won't be quite so tempting.

    Anyway, probably more than you asked for, but I'm new (just been on here a week) and I need friends. Please feel free to friend me, whoever you are. A very nice lady who is a definite inspiration friended me immediately, and I really appreciate that, and it has helped keep me focused. I'm super-positive and leave comments, so if you need friends too, let's do it!

    Carbs, man. They are the enemy after 40. Me & carbs have a love- hate relationship. I love them, but they want to kill me, so we don't hang too much anymore. :wink:
