    My 2 cents:

    I am 41, and started my exercise routine today. I do think hormones and genes have a lot to do with weight gain and weight loss, not to mention diet and exercise. I have arthritis in my knees and exercise is very difficult for me. I purchased an elliptical machine to use to exercise. I know it's not an ideal way to lose weight but something is better than nothing and my knees really limit me. I can work out today with cardio but won't be able to walk tomorrow. I am staying positive and hoping that some if not all of the weight comes off. I did qualify to have a weight loss surgery done but I am having second thoughts. My knee therapist recommended the bike so I thought I would give it a try....fingers crossed X.......

    Hi, I turned 40 in August. I hear you about your body not responding as well to exercise. This is my first week on MFP. I lost 3.2 pounds and am totally pumped. I would love to be "friends." We could encourage one another. I will add you.

    Feel free to add me! I'm 41 (turn 42 in August) and am trying to lose 70lbs. Definately harder in my 40s.
    I'm loging most days (Excpet when I travel for work) and am trying to exercise about 5 days aweek. I keep track of steps using FitBit and diet on MFP.

    Good luck:flowerforyou:

    I will be 43, this coming summer. I have recently just returned to MFP. I have become more dedicated this time around, hate the fact I gained weight prior to returning. Had a lot going on in the past few months, just feeling more determined.:smile::smile:

    What is Fitbit?
    I have about 65-70 lbs to lose. My brother past away in August after that I didn't want to leave my house.

    I will be 39 in November and it has been a struggle with my weight. I have decided I want to look and feel better. I lost my dad 2 months ago and doing this has helped me. Needed something positive to focus on and this is it. I have lost 15 lbs but would love to lose 50 more. Need all the support I can get. Thanks.

    I'm 39 and finally on the right track. Anyone can add me - though I do like friends who have viewable diaries.

    The constant march of time will take me to the big 4-0 next year. Although in the last 12 months I've been fitter than I have been since my 20s.

    MFP has been a bog part of that.

    heaviest weight was 113kg a few years ago. Now, at 42, i'm loosing weight again. Down 15kg since october 2013 to 92kg. That makes me the lightest i've been in my adult life!!! Thanks to MFP, the last 9kg in the last 8 weeks. Feeling great!!!
