Hi, I am 41 almost 42 and had my 4th child who was a micro preemie at 37. The stress of my daughter being so ill at first and then her having huge eating issues which causes everything in my house to be high calorie food and staying home with her full time has really caused me to gain weight. I'm trying to loose 35 lbs by May and it seems harder to do now that I'm on my 40's so I'm looking for other people to help and to help me stay focused around my same age.

    I'm not quite 40 yet, I'm only 38. However, I can completely relate to feeling overwhelmed because of your age. The older you get, the harder it gets. I am here to ideally lose 50 lbs. Good luck, and friend me, we can keep each other accountable :smile:

    I'm 42 this year, 3 children - had my youngest at 38! I have been doing all kinds if diets over the last two years determined to loose what I like to call my baby weight but it wasn't anything to do with the baby just general over eating. I've managed to loose 2st so far but still have another 1/2 stone to go which is proving so hard to do.
    hopefully this app will help us all. Good luck x

    hey chicka, congrats on coming thru those trials and taking back your health. that is no small feat. i'll be 45 this summer, took my own reins for the first time, seriously, at 41. this site's been critical for keeping account. i climbed up 10 this summer/fall/winter due to my own stuff, after losing almost 70, and just got back on the bus myself. i know now having done it once i can do it again, no sweat. ...well, probably *some* sweat. : )

    quick bio: USA, 20 years married, i've got a 20 yo and a set of 8 yo b/g twins, and while i was post grad educated i have been a SAHM since the twins and Lurv It. i'm not super social (note this being like my 4th post ever in 4 years) but happy to prop up another oldster who might also be likewise propping me up too. cheers!

    Hi. I'm a 41 year old dad of 2 and my first was a micro-preemie too (IUGR). I'm happy to add you as a friend. It's funny how we strive to reduce our calories as we need to push them on our kids. Yep, this is 40's.

    45 years old. Getting older can be a struggle. Injury can create massive setbacks so you need to do lots of warm ups and pace yourself. I am trying to lower my body fat percentage to under 10%. Diet is at least 70% of it while working out is the other 30%. Add of you would like.

    I'm 43 and trying to lose weight at this age seems impossible - add me! If you're using a Fitbit add me there too

    I'm 47. Add me as a friend if you like! At our age sometimes the weight comes off more slowly, but if we take it off by building good habits, it will stay off, and that's what's important.
