Hi
New here, I'm looking for friends with 3+ stones to lose who are in their 40's.
Does it get harder to lose the weight as you get older or is it just me?

Hi - I just turned 41 last week and in the past 18 months I've dropped over 6.5 stone. Personally I've found it not too hard, its just a matter of finding the right food and exercise that work best for you and that you can make a permanent part of your life.0

I've sent you a FR0

I should say it doesn't matter what age you are, if you are committed to this process you can achieve your goals0

That's my position. Turned 45 last week and have over 3 stones to lose. Recently I've been yo-yoing up and down the same few pounds and I think I'm discovering that though I've upped my exercise dramatically, increasing calories *at all* in response seems to result in no weight loss. I've also found out my thyroid is 'borderline' - not quite in a state where I need meds, but not operating optimally so I'm now really looking at nutrition as an improver to thyroid function.
Feel free too add

I've lost around 3 stone but I have about the same to go again. And the second half seems much harder. I lost a load of weight when I was in my late teens and kept it off for a long time - so yes, I think it is much harder this time around. I also think trying to fit it all in with jobs/work/children etc makes it much harder.0

I'm early fifties and have lost over 3st now, yet had never managed it before int he past 25 years. So yes, it's possible, and entirely do-able if you are determined and have the arsenal to defeat the inevitable temptations etc.0

Great news of me then! I often think it's too late to turn my life around. It's good to see and read results to the contrary. I am really pleased with this! X0

I'm 40 in February and hoping to lose 50 lbs, can I join? 0

I'm early 50s and need to lose three stone, but have set myself a slightly lesser target of 36lbs for the time being. I've never successfully lost weight and kept it off for any length of time, so this time I'm doing it properly, slowly but surely and hopefully making some lifestyle changes along the way.
I'm 'darn sarf' in Sussex.0 -
Hiya,
I am 41, with a conservative 50 pound to lose. I started back yesterday, and am sticking to plan so far.
I am starting a degree in Nutrition in September, with a bit of luck ( just waiting for my results) and the last thing I want is to go in old and frumpy.
I am hoping to start with a whole new wardrobe of smaller clothes, the age thing I am stuck with. So time to get a wiggle on 0 -
Hi,
47, only about 1.5 stone to go now but I have lost 6.5 stone since Jan. Happy to get more UK friends in a similar boat!0 -
Hi I'm 41 and would like to lose 3 stone. It's hard to keep focused with a full time job as a teacher and a mother but I'm going to keep going and be patient. Please add me x0

Only just 40, already shifted 5.5st, but still another 3 to go - trying to get back in the swing of it again - the more the merrier..0

I have just turned 40 and have 3 and a half stone to lose. Keep looking at my profile pic as inspiration

I was still in my forties at the beginning of the year and I am aiming to shift 25kg (3.9 stone). This will at least make we overweight instead of obese.0

Hi, I'm 42 with 4 stone to lose just to make me 'overweight' - been 'playing' at it for a while....
Time to do it for real - have an open diary for friends
Feel free to add me - log most days depending on work shifts!0 -
Hi! I'm 53 and have lost 47lb since I joined MFP a couple of years ago - there have been some health issues along the way which meant I had to go into 'maintenance' mode for extended periods but I'm back on the weight/fat loss regime again with 9lb to go to get into the 'healthy' BMI range (the goal I set myself), though I'll probably keep plodding away for a bit longer after I get there - a further 7lbs wouldn't hurt.
Does it get harder with age? Yup, especially for women, but it is certainly achievable with a bit of determination and support to get you through, and it's going to be easier in your 40's than in your 50's!
Feel free to add me, and all the very best to you all!

Sam has said it all... it takes determination, and not giving up as it gets tougher the closer you get to goals. I took myself in hand for the 4th time when I was 226 lbs, and got below 176 lbs in less than two years, started even doing some jogging! But a depressing winter, and hectic period when I had no time to plan food or exercise meant that 15 lbs crept back on. But now back in the saddle again, logging food every day, and trying to exercise every day too, even gardening, the Green Gym!! As of yesterday, I have 20 lbs to go to being out of the obese category, and 40 lbs before I am down to a healthy BMI - which is my goal!
There is so much support here on MFP that friends will gently encourage me and keep me coming back. So feel free to send me a FR and I'm sure we can help you shed those 3 stones!!

It gets harder to find the time and the busier you are the more you tend to snack, eat convenience food and want to rest when you get a few minutes and not drag the bike out for a spin around the block. Time to sort it out for me. I need to lose 6 stone and I'm not 44. My daughter thinks if she gets married it's bad enough I'm ancient, ancient and fat is apparently a non-starter!!!0
