    Hello,

    I am looking for more friends for encouragement and support that are in my same boat. People are not joking when they say it's harder to lose weight in your 40's. It's like someone flipped a switch on my metabolism.

    That's for sure! It was easier back in my 20's.

    I'm 43 and haven't found weight loss to be any harder, though I may be fooling myself. What I have noticed is that my commitment to it is better now than it's ever been. I don't know if that's due to MFP or my new FitBit, but either way I'm losing this 100 lbs...make that 96 lbs. Anyone can add me. We can get this done!

    Wow! I can't believe the number of posts! I am 43, to be 44 in June. I agree, losing weight is harder for me now. I think part of it is that I struggle staying motivated. I have been successful at losing weight in the past, but have been struggling the last few years. In fact, I just recommitted myself to losing weight and keeping it off after hitting my highest weight ever (other than during pregnancy, but not far off!) This time around I will do what it takes, I have too many years on this earth left to continue to feel down about my body. So, please add me (or we should start a group...if I knew how, I would). Good luck!

    I can relate. I'm 42. Somehow, I managed to gain almost 30 lbs. in the past year. Yes, it's much tougher than it used to be, losing the weight! I need some friends on here to help keep me on track. So, please add me, if you would like!

    I'm 49 and I totally understand the flipped the switch thing! Sometimes I get so discouraged, I just quit trying. This time I'm not going to go it alone, I'm reaching out for people in the same boat too. I'm new to participating in the MFP community, so I'm not sure I'm doing things correctly yet! :ohwell:

    46 years young, I just started back on MFP a couple of weeks ago and I'm very motivated to get my weight down. Anyone here is welcome to add me for encouragement and support. This site has already helped me to increase my metabolism and keep my emotional eating in check.
