    I would also like to join. I am new to the site and find myself, after 7 years at a sedentary job, 100+ pounds overweight. I am now 42 and I work from home, so it is so hard to find something to do OTHER than eat :). I hope to be able to find some friends, share some stories, motivate and be motivated in return. Nice to meet you all.

    I would love to join your group. I'm turning 42 this year. I have decided to take my health and fitness more serious. I too have been finding it is definitely not easier now that I'm older. I'd love to see the updates for tidbits you'd like to share. Every little bit helps. :) I'm pretty sure I have everything set up to be open. I haven't added to many friends on here but would love some.:) Sharing is a good way to stay motivated for sure!

    I'm in! I'll be 42 next month. My twin sons are headed to college this Fall. The dog will miss 'em as much as I will.

    please count me in.

    I'm 59 and though certainly losing weight isn't as fast as in younger years, it's been slipping off at a pretty nice clip now that I finally know more about how to do it. Learning more all the time and most important finally practicing the skills that will keep it off.

    Count me in! At 51 I find it is harder and harder to stay in shape. My doctor has me taking 200 mg of progesterone this past 5 months and now weight will not come off. I'm not giving up though!

    I do believe that what we think is more than half the battle. I don't think there is as huge a difference as some of us believe between 20's, 30's and 40's.

    Love to be part of this group too. I am 46 and my scale currently sits in the corner of my room to think over what it did to me last Friday. From Wisconsin and looking for friends. Thanks. Dan

    Count me in! I am 48 years old, have hypothyroid and have lost 2 pounds in 5 weeks of doing MFP. Very frustrating. Encouragement would be good.

    Hello, I am looking to create a support group for other 40- 50 ish people who are experiencing the effects of the dreaded aging. I am 51 year old female, working w/ a trainer and journaling each day yet having a hard time losing the weight. I hear the hormone stories and the aging stories yet I have been a believer that good nutrition and exercise are key. Looking for others interested in support, sharing tips, or who have the ablility to be positive and motivating. Interested?

    I don't exactly fit the age range you specified (i'm 60). However, I am well focused on fitness (I lift weights to build muscle mass, not "tone,"), and cycle. My favorite "fitness" books are, "Younger Next Year," and "New Rules of LIfting for Women." My favorite line from Younger Next Year is "You age, but you don't have to rot."

    I welcome new friends. Please read my profile.
