42 in June
I've lost 66 pounds (around 30kg) over the past year or so and am now the lightest weight I've been in my adult life - for the first time in my adult life I have a weight in the normal BMI range - it only took me 40 years to do it!0 -
Just turned 40 in January...tough getting these last 15 lbs off but I find the support/ friendships I've made here are priceless.0

I'm 58 years old. Decided to go on a 3 year journey. The first year I am going to put myself in position to begin athletic training (lose weight, walk). The second year (2014) I am going to train athletically, and then in 2015, I am going to compete in the 60-64 age group in the USTA Masters Track and Field meets. I am two months into a 36 month journey, and as of now I am right on track!
You go! That's awesome!!!! I will be 57 Sunday. I year ago last Thursday I had hip replacement surgery due to a fracture suffered 3 years prior that I didnt know happened. Been a long couple of years. My new goal is to do a Century ride Summer of 2014.0 -

I turned 40 on the 24th February and i'm not trying to lose weight, i AM losing weight. Total change in diet and exercise regime
my body seems to be chewing through the weight, but i was 111lbs now down to 106 in just 2 weeks so i have alot to burn..
consequently my father is mid 60's and due to blood pressure medicine he sweats buckets and burns very little weight.but he's near healthy range0 -

Hello everyone..... I am 44 and desire to lose at least 100 pounds. I am setting my goals in small increments so it won't look or feel so bad to me. I have a very long journey ahead of me so please feel free to add me as your pal so that we can encourage each other during the process.0

It takes 3500 calories BURNED to lose 1lb. for example:
if you ate 2800 cal a day x7days = 19600 calories consumed a week
if you burned 3200 cal a day x 7days = 22,400 calories burned a week
22,400 -19600=2,800 net burned for the week it's not quite a lb lost but it's .8 lost
How do you know what you burn a day? look up BMR and enter your body data. I know all the pills and stuff the world promotes sound great, none of them work, they only increase the amounts of calories burned a day by small amounts and supress your appetite, but if you don't know your basic calorie intake or your basic burn a day, nothing can help you manage the outcome. I explain this to say that I have lost 45lbs in 6 months and I work out roughly twice a week, but walk 3 miles 3 days a week in the summer............hope this helps.................0 -
