    45 here. I just finished my third round of college while working full time and packed on an extra 25 lbs during the last two years as a result of sitting at one desk or another for damn near 18 hours a day (and I was already overweight when I started). I started on MFP two days after graduation and have been here for 30 days today. Including those first easy pounds, I'm down 15 so far, with a goal of grinding my way to 50 lbs lost. Running a thousand calorie a day deficit right now for a goal (2 lbs/week), and generally trying to work out enough to beat that by a fair margin a few days each week. Feel free to add me if you're looking for more encouragement...I can certainly use it myself some days! :-)

    Just turned 47............and it is never going to be any easier than today to loose some weight. Started this back in Jan. but have been less than diligent. Need to get serious.

    I'll be 40 in October (does that count, lol)? Would definitely love to connect with some folks in this age group - this process is much easier when you can share it!

    Hiya, I'm 44, I've lost 25lbs only 3 lbs to go to reach my goal, but it's taking me forever, I've not been this weight since I was in my 20's so I'm more than happy.

    Not quite. I am 39 but turning 40 in December. I already consider myself in the 40+ club. I can't deny it any longer.

    47, I second, third the motion that it's so much more difficult to not only lose but maintain at this age; I've always been active, never really overweight, but now I've gotta do double duty with diet and exercise just to maintain.

    47 years here. harder to lose the weight, but heavy lifting really helps. The motivation of friends here helps also.
