    I’m recently 42 in also in for anyone to be friends with. I've been here since August 2013 and it has helped me get in better shape, loose a few, and especially in improving my fitness scores to well above passing in the Army National Guard with Army physical fitness standards. Although I do read a lot of interesting fitness ideas, my main focus has been on my core fitness principals of calisthenics. I’m always open to new ways of training

    Hi my name is Angela and i just turned 48 this month. I have been using MFP since May 2013 in the begining I was 210 and eating only 1200 calories a day working out with wii and walking. I lost 30lbs in 3months. I stop losing and asked for help and someone told me to eat more. Then the holidays came so i ate more and gained 7lbs and now i am back on MPF and trying to lose more. My goal was and is to weigh 150 that is a total of 60 lbs. to lose in all. I have about 35 lbs. to go to reach my goal. I find it much harder to get remotivated than when i first started.Anyone have any suggestions.

    I'm a little late to the party - but here I am!

    I am finding losing anything is so hard now in my 40s! I came off of zoloft in August because of weight gain, and I can't get the weight off now. I have never ever been any weight other than 135 for decades, and then when I went on zoloft, I gained 25 pounds.

    If anyone has any tips for losing weight after an Rx, I'm all ears!

    good to see this group

    I just came back to this site. I'm 43 and would love to lose 25 pounds. The weight has come on quickly but so hard to get off. It's frustrating.

    I'm 47 and in the same boat as so many on this thread. Trying to lose 30 lbs but the metabolism has definitely slowed down over the years. I am committed to staying on track. Feel free to add me. I'll do what I can to offer support and motivation. Good luck everybody!

    Hi everyone! 41 here, will be 42 in July. Started MFP last Feb. I have lost 42 lbs on here through daily exercise (6 days a week on avg) and watching what I eat, most of the time. Total lbs lost almost 60 since I lost another 10-15 lbs prior to joining here from last fall/winter. Please feel free to add me WITH a MESSAGE as to why you'd like to be friends. Thanks and GL to ya'll.

    Hi! My name is Sabrina. I am 38 years old. It is already difficult for me to lose weight. For 2013 I was only able to lose 21 pounds. I am not complaining because that is better than gaining another 10! I wish you the best for your goals for 2014.

    yes I will be 47 this year and I agree, more exercise is the key. I tried all kinds of diets and nothing works as well without lots of exercise with those diets
