    Hello everyone,
    I'm having a hard time finding the words for this post b/c I'm so bummed at my lack of success in losing weight. Now, I am a registered nurse so I am educated in what I need to do to make it happen. I need to find my motivation because, when I'm there, I'm fully committed and can accomplish a lot. I've completed marathons by sheer mental and physical determination. Of course, I was 40 pounds lighter and much fitter then. I turned 50 this year and feel it is now or never. Sorry to be a bummer.

    Count me in. Just turned 59 this month. Gotta keep an eye on my health by losing some weight, exercising, staying around like-minded people, and staying positive.

    44, still don't feel my age however injuries don't heal up as quick. One thing I am sure of is that I am in a better mental and physical state than I was in my 20's and even 30's.

    Haven't really been too fussed about getting old. Would like more like minded people. trying to explain stuff to 20+ year olds is hard work.

    Count me in.

    Love to be part of this. I'm 44 and finding losing weight five times as hard since hitting an early menopause. Feel free top add me, cos I too would love to hear everyone's ideas...

    Used to love listening to "I can't drive 55.":

    Starting with next week's birthday, everywhere I drive I'll be 55.

    Just turned 54 last Friday, never had a weight problem until menopause. This is a battle but I am determined to get back to pre-menopausal weight.

    Count me in too! 44 and finally taking care of myself. It's taking more determination and discipline to lose the weight now than in the past.

    I have 2 more years till I reach 40 years old. I turn 38 in June. I think this is a fantastic idea to do.
