    Going to be 49 this year. Want to see if I can get down to my mid 20s weight and stay there.
    The site has been great for forcing me to think about what and how much I eat and drink. I've come to learn that staying motivated is hard to do alone. It's really a team effort. We all need friends and family to keep us on the right track.

    Hi, i'm 42. I have lost 24 lbs so far but only 12 lbs since starting MFP. I stay continually logged in here and track all my food and drinks. I am only walking treadmill right now and a small amount of cardio. Watching my portions and calories have made it very helpful for me. Add me if you like.
    Have a great day !

    Hey! Just joined today. I'll be 46 in April. It's nice to see all of us 'middle aged' peeps out there getting our fitness on!

    Hi...I am 41, turning 42 in the fall...have gained some weight and very frustrated that it does not want to leave! Weight Watchers worked for me in the past, but I am not a fan of the new system and just quit. I am new to this site and though I am frustrated, I hope to learn tools from others to help me get this unwanted weight off! Looking forward to some helpful tips! :smile:

    Hi - I'm 46 and just started MFP this week. Have been doing well with exercise for several months, but not losing anything, so decided to start tracking my calories. Did pretty well all week, but am nervous about going into the weekend!

    Hi there, I think it is really hard to lose weight. I have been tracking for almost 5 weeks and lost 3 lbs.

    Hi, I just turned 48 and going thru perimenopause myself..... which only makes it harder to lose the weight. I've got about 40 + pounds to lose and have used mfp before with a lot of success. Please add me as a friend and we can support each other! Good luck!
