    Hi, 48 here, fast approaching is 49 in the next two months. Today is my first day here, 220 lbs and gaining more, rapidly. I lost about 50 lbs a year and a half ago, when i was having some personal issues with my marriage. I went out and purchase a whole new wardrobe, fast forward and I've gain most of it back and now nothing fits me properly. I decided I'm not purchasing any more clothes, so here I am. I'll accept any help I can get.


    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    Good Luck and I hope you have lots of success. A good support system is very helpful so fee free to add me. :drinker:

    Thought i would try this again!...Always nice to have others for support and motivation and who totally understand how our metabolism slows down and its so much harder to lose the weight! (as we get older!) :mad: :drinker:
    I'm 44 and my metabolism hasn't slowed down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

    I have found it is harder to lose weight. I am 53 and through the change. Peri lasted 7 years and menopause 2. I am starting to feel normal again. Anyone need any wisdom about the change I am here to help. I had no idea what it really entails so get ready for a bumpy ride. Meanwhile, I am trying hard to post my portions and work out. working out is not a problem for me it is the food. I use food as my drug of choice and binged twice this week. I am really working on not using food. At 53, I feel like it is time to figure out this demon once and for all. I have worked through so many things but the food thing still hangs on. Off to move my ars. Have a great day!

    We just about qualify. Both my wife and I are 49

    Frantically trying to hold back the advancing years! Gym 6 days a week, cycle 6 days a week. It's HARD WORK!

    43.

    Learned last week that training-wise, its not quite like being twenty or thirty something again, even though I spent the last 3 months strengthening my body to deadlift again.

    Body said nope.

    Mentally 30, physically 44. Looking to lose about 15+ lbs. I'm fairly active and started weight training, and love to eat. That's my downfall. Friend me if you like.

    43 here, where does time go? Have been on my path to fitness since January 2013. It does come off, but it's a slow process, you just have to stick to it and work hard. You can do it, I promise! Have lost 73 pounds, depending on the mood of the scale that day. Feel free to friend me if you like!

    41 I no longer worry about getting older. I embrace it because I stay in shape regardless of the chronological number. I like when someone asks my age and then is surprised because I'm in shape and / or look younger than they expect.

    Hi I'm a newbie!! Age 49....... My goal is to lose around 40 lbs and KEEP it off. I lost my husband to cancer in December and I am a stress eater so thought I had lost the weight before, I gained it all back and then some. I just want to feel good about myself and feel better. Also, I quit smoking on February 21st but luckily I have only gained about 5 lbs since then. I know it all adds up. Ready to start making healthy choices and feeling better. Can anyone tell me of any successes they have had on the LHCF way of eating? My sister in law is a nurse and recommended it. I'm on day 4 and have lost about 3 lbs so far.

    I will be 47 in September... I hear you! I struggle with my weight since I had my daughter... 11 years ago LOL... I find it way more difficult to loose the extra weight recently. Why? I think it is harder for out metabolism to kick in like it use to and the more you diet the more difficult it become I think. Let's try this one more time...All the best of luck
