    I hit that point at 43!! That is why I am here. I used this a few years ago, lost about 65-70 pounds, then gained it back after starting school and dropping all my healthy attitudes and going back to my old ways. I am back, day 10 of logging. great site!! Best of luck!!! stick with it.

    I know (age 60)! My feet hate carrying this much weight around. I have to be careful about exercise, too. I started yoga about three weeks ago; went to classes for one week and my left knee was so painful I had to stop. It took two weeks to recover. Hopefully I can try again after I lose some of this fat and improve my fitness through things like walking, bicycling, and the elliptical, also weight training on the machines at the gym.

    Of course calorie control is the key to weight loss. I am doing my best to weigh everything that goes into my mouth and log it here.
