    41 here. Trying to lose about 20 - 25 pounds. There's a trick to it... hard work. This site, and the iPhone app really make it easy to stay motivated. Best of luck to all of us!

  • Hi, I'm 52 & have 60 lbs to lose. Don't have much support here (very, very rural) but would like to build an online community of friends.

    I'm fifty-one. I Lost my weight and now i'm just maintaining my healthy lifestyle.

    Questions: How long did it take? What was your food regimen? What was your exercise routine?

    Congrats on achieving/maintaining!!!

    Hi Brooke,
    I have a relatively descriptive profile that includes information about my diet and exercise routine. There are other approaches you can use if mine isn't a fit, but the bottom line is that it is all about consistency and patience.

    Hello, Looks like there are quite a few of us! I'm 48 and have about 75 lbs. to lose. So much harder the older we get, isn't it? I have a good feeling about MFP, though. I've been doing it for about 6 weeks now which is probably the longest I've stuck to any system. Feel free to friend me--always good to have support. :smile:

    Hi, I'm 51, 193 cm and currently 105 kg male, since quitting smoking 3 yrs ago I have gradually been gaining kgs, I've been regularly bike riding for at least 18 months but need to step it up as I am losing tone in my body....... legs are great.

    I've been struggling to keep motivated. I've been using MFP for a while and find the recording of foods a great way to monitor calories it builds awareness / consciousness of everything you eat.

    Thought maybe I should meet a few other people that are struggling the same and share the pain......
  • Hi I am 52 and looking for friends on MFP to stay motivated
  • Does hitting 40 in April count?

    I m 51 and have lost 18 stone -- 3 stones 6 times !! every 5 years :/ Ok I exaggerate a bit sometimes it was only 2 stones ... but that is my story , i was tiny in 2007

    This time round i am throwing away my big clothes and it is staying off .. I mean it ! how do I know ? because this time I have built in exercise to my daily routine and i am loving it , and i have also given up alcohol and feel so much better

    5.2 kilos (11 ls) lost so far this year ...

    feel free to add me as a friend, I am finding the support i get in here invaluable ,

    I would love advice on how to tone .. anyone know how ?
