    I turned 47 today. Since October I have lost 30 lbs. I set reachable goals and have "hit" two of them. A few more pounds to go (5-7)and I am slowly working on strength and toning plans.

    Feel to add me. I'm new to posting but am looking forward to being more involved.

    Feel free to add me as well. I've been working out for a few months now and really struggling to get back down to my target weight. Lost 4 lbs of 15 so far. It used to come right back off after my lazy streaks but this time at 41 it is putting up a fight.

    In another topic you said that your birthday was on Sunday the fifth. I only mention it because I wanted to make sure and wish you a happy birthday, maybe I read something incorrectly.:smile:

    Feel free to add me too. I'm 47 and I'm so tired of the yo yo thing, plus it really does get harder to lose the older we get. I will say that even if the pounds are coming off at a snail's pace right now, I do feel significantly better when I am eating better and exercising.

    Most certainly! I am overwhelmed at the response to this post. So glad to know I'm not the only out there in this boat.

    Feel free to read my profile, and add me if you wish.

    And it's not just the lack of weight loss...it's the freaky periods, the hair loss, the dry skin, the mood swings...some days I feel like a crazy person.

    I just turned 49. I've been at this for a year now and have lost 68 pounds. I've battled weight my whole adult life and have finally found success and have been able to make a lifestyle change instead of "diet!" Anyone feel free to friend me.

    43 and feeling good! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can stand in our way. We might have to work a little harder than the 20-somethings, but if that's what it takes...BRING IT!! We are old enough to understand that principles, determination, and commitment can guide to any destination!

    It might be harder to lose weight for lots of reasons as we age but seriously, it's not impossible. When I was in my early 50s I finally lost the 15 pounds I'd struggled to lose all my life. How? Adding weight lifting to my life, exercising regularly (walking briskly for 45 minutes 3 times a week), and significantly limiting sugar, breads, pasta, starchy vegetables.

    Even though I've gotten "lazy" about exercise and food (and that's why I've just joined here to get back into better patterns) I've kept off most of the weight.

    Build yourself some muscle! It resets your metabolism!
