    I'm 47, making it work but it is taking more focus than I've ever had to put forth. Having friends helps immensely!! Anyone is welcome to add me! My diary is open to friends.

    Hello! I am 48 (soon to be 49) and I would love more friends to give and receive support from. This is my second serious go-around and I am a week in and so far (fingers crossed), it's working again for me. It was so much easier when I was younger!!! If I only had the foresight to know it would be harder now with age. My ultimate goal is to be fabulous by the time I hit 50 in 15 months. Would love to receive friend requests, so please feel free to add me :)

    OP Angie. First, I came here looking for the grown ups, so your post kept me from having to post this myself! As far as ageism goes, the "kids" here dish out plenty of it to what they consider "old" folks. I hope for their sake, a youth serum is invented in the next 10 years because they seem to think 40 is a disease.
    I am sending a friend request to everyone who answers this thread. Feel free to contact me, post, etc...one and all!
    I liked 40 better than 30, and intend to like 50 even more. I'd be satisfied with losing 10 lbs, but should lose 20. I'm a realist though, and can't believe how hard i have to fight for every ounce! On the upside, if i am naughty, it doesn't pack on instantly either as long as i get back on track soonish. I'm a Massage Therapist and not at all judgemental about struggles with weight and aging. Just the fact that you are here learining a healthier way is good enough for me!

    I'm rooting for all of us on team "old"

    I'm Matthew... just hit 43 this month (May) and have been working out again these last 8 weeks to regain some of poise I had in my mid-twenties/thirties. I've been a gym-rat since I was 17, punctuated by a few years here and there of complete and utter apathy toward my fitness/diet. Four years ago when I last quit I did not own a smartphone.

    How awesome is it to have smartphones and fitness apps now? I've always tracked my workouts (by a paper journal and pen) and now technology makes tracking macronutrients and exercise so much easier. It's a good time to be alive.

    Friend me!

    Hi! I am 50!! is that too old for friends over 40?

    I am back again using my fitpal app but this time I decided I need fitpal friends!

    I made it half way thru my weight loss... started feeling comfortable and deprived and started eating again... 5 pounds crept up.... soon it will all be back if I do not stop now!

    I am starting today and decided to look on the page here for friends that would help me and motivate me! I will do the same for you! I really would love fitpal friends that we can motivate and support each other!

    Please add me as a friend if you think we can help each other! I want to be healthy and look great which will help every aspect of my life. Let's face it... overweight people get judged, picked last or not at all, overlooked... I do not want to be fat anymore!

    I'm 46

    for my 40th year of life I did Ironman. Then took 5 years off from endurance and did heavy games = got big

    I liked being smaller and faster better than big and strong, so I am losing weight and distance training.

    My plans are to do a 100 miler Ultra before I turn 50.

    If I line up with what you are trying to do, let's connect.

    43yrs. I've been overweight my entire adult life. The past year, I've had success in walking every day and watching the intake. I like to cheer on my MFP friends. Always looking for more of them

    I'm turning 43 in August. Just coming off of having my tendon reconnected to my foot. I will be starting physical therapy soon and hitting it hard when I am ready! I log every day and just hit 350 days. I have a rare genetic disease that requires me to eat between 300-400 grams of carbs everyday so I will be struggling with weight my entire life. My highest weight has been 335lbs and my lowest 215 (12 years ago). I am currently 263ish and my goal is to get to 225-230. I'll be here for the long haul. As long as you're active and send a note with the request anyone can feel free to ad me.

    Mee too, mee too. :)
    I forgot how to take care of myself in last few years, and it caught up with me at 45.
    Working on getting back into my old good habits, and really need to stop isolating myself from people.

    I am 42 and just starting with myfitnesspal--My second day here actually. Trying to get in shape and be healthier. Thought this plus a couple exercise programs would be a good start. :)

    Just turned 49--yikes! Used to be really fit, until two years ago when I changed careers, then it was less time in the gym and more time on my butt. But, we're never too old to pursue fitness, so here I am. Looking for all the support I can get from the over 40 crowd.

    As one of the over 40s (having turned 50 in April), I am pleased to see a group of us not quite so youngies, all going through the same thing.

    I'm 4 weeks into my mfp "adventure", with no idea of what my goal should be, but I'm looking to lose 55 lbs at least. (Says he, hopefully)

    Feel free to add me,
