    Hey, 42 is close enough. Feel free to add me. I'm new to this and am looking to lose 40-45 pounds. Not easy when you love the taste of food like I do. Just started this week. Stay at it, consistency is the key.

    I'm brand new, turning 45 in a month. I threw away my scale years ago because it was making me crazy, so I just signed up and I'm excited and postive even though I have no idea how much I weigh or how much I need to lose. Just ordered a scale and a bodymedia fit on Amazon and I"m starting to log my food.

    Please add me. I had great success quitting smoking years ago with an online community to help!

    Hi Mel,

    I'm forty something and new to the MFP, I have lost 42 pounds over the last 18 months but still have at least the same to do so would love to join forces and swap stories and motivation tips etc.

    Lets make this year our year and get these pounds shifted!

    Hi

    I'll be turning 45 at the end of February and I am 5' 5" tall and have about 70 lbs to loose.

    I have been a member of this site since 2010, but haven't been on here since 2010! I came back this January and hope to make better use of this site to help and motivate me.

    I'm supposed to be going on holiday to Kos in May. My first holiday in about 8 years and right now, don't really want to go.

    I know if I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe I could do with loosing 2 stone before then so I can get into my size 16 clothes!

    I would love to hear from others who are on their weight loss journey.

    I am fairly new here.I joined last year but never posted. Looking for friends on MFP that are in my age group too. I'm 45. I've been doing low carb off and on for the past year, but always end up missing what you "can't" have when doing low carb. I met a member of MFP on a a group on facebook and read her story, so here I am, gonna give this way a chance this time. Anyone can add me if you like. I don't know how to send a friend request on MFP. Maybe one of u could tell me how? Lol

    ME!!!! I'm 47, though I don't feel it. That whole "your metabolism comes to a screeching halt when you turn 40" thing isn't a myth, dangit.

    I just turned 40, almost 13 years ago.
    So, if you are looking for an older friend for encouragement and accountability, add me.

    Hit the big 4-0 back in October, but have been in full-blown mid-life crisis mode for a few years prior. I've dropped ~50 lbs, running 40+ miles a week, training for my first 26.2 this coming october. I'm glad to help motivate anyone out there, especially my fellow 40-somethings :)

    I will be 42 in a couple of weeks and I have 80+ pounds gone! I am looking for friends who are dedicated to their weightloss/exercise that can help keep me motivated and in turn I hope I can motivate as well.

    44 here and I absolutely know more than ever that I will reach my goal weight. By your 40's you should be a bit more disciplined and knowledgeable so that you're fully armed and ready to make the best use of your time and make better dietary choices. A small bit of advice for what it's worth: set up smaller goals for yourself; first 10 lbs and then after patting yourself on the back try a 20 lb goal. Slowly but surely as you reinforce the fact that you've been able to conquer the smaller steps, you'll fully embrace the reality of the bigger picture and reach your final long term goal. Good luck.

    Just turned 49. Spent my 30's and 40's overweight and decided that things will be different in my 50's. Trying to lose 65 pounds. I log every single thing that passes my lips every single day. I log every bit of exercise. And I try to eat all my calories (including eating back my exercise calories--easier said than done, believe it or not). I need lots of friends, too!

    I've lost over 25 lbs since starting in October of 2012.

    Good luck to everyone on this lifestyle!

    Thanks!
