    Hey - 44, turning 45 shortly. Goal is to drop 30 in total, but it's easier to focus on shorter goals like the first 5 then getting below a number - for me 230, then 225, etc.

    I am going to be 47 in July. After 40, it is much harder to lose weight.

    i found that to be the case after 30 lol

    Hi there, I'm new to mfp. Just checking out the support available here. I'm 41 and put 4 stone on after stopping smoking 8 years ago and have never lost it. I'm not so very far away from my goal now, another stone and a half to go and I believe that this time... I'll damn well get there! :) Hope you're all having a great weekend anyway. Cheers! Ladies, feel free to add me.

    I just turned 50 in January. I have 36 more pounds to lose. I want to lose this weight, and get in shape and NOT do this again. I need support and want to cheer on all who need a cheerleader in their corner. I find all your stories so inspiring....

    I turned 57 this past January. Have been trying for many years to get all this weight off and as you can see by my ticker I have a huge amount to lose. Some weeks I wonder if I will ever get there, especially when I have 2 to 3 weeks of no weight loss. I wondering if I should adjust my calorie intake again. But I do not know if I should go up or down.

    Turned 40 in November and really need to get rid of this baby fat, haha yeah right my baby is 8. Started walking last Friday and my boys come home everyday and say "did you walk today?" Can't wait to be able to play ball with them without feeling so tired all the time or just sitting and watching.
