Hi all! Thanks for starting the chat Erin!
I'm 48 and fighting 15 lbs. Lost 25 2 years ago, very slowly I gained 5 or so, then hurt my back and BAM gained 10 more! Feeling better now and need to get back into my clothes! Oh, also fighting this new thing, supposedly called "hormone imbalance". So not cool!
Feel free to friend me!

I'm new to MFP and just wondering - is it good to be consistently under calories or could under eating be actually causing reverse effect? Any thoughts0

Same as this! I keep getting told that I'm not losing weight because I'm not eating enough...thought CICO would be a simple process?0 -
Well as long as you keep exercising it should be alright just keep tabs on it0

i guess it depends how much under calories? and what is your daily calorie intake? and are you exercising and reducing that number even further? your body needs fuel and while you'd think drastically cutting cals should net you faster weight loss, it really doesn't work that way.0 -
47, Irish, lost 30lbs in 12 months thanks to MFP. I'm now on the last 7-10lbs. But it's hard. I've been in a plateau for ages. Hormonal complications, you know, estrogen diminishing. Too much progesterone (rolls eyes) Meh. Feel 20 in my head.0

I don't feel 20 (did I ever?) but it has been harder to lose at 45 than at 41. I low carbed it the last time and while I think low carb is effective I could not sustain it beyond a year. But so slow. Quarter pound a week. Gah! Now I know why 1960s housewives used speed! Patience is not one of my virtues.

Just turned 43 (gulp) and working on getting back in shape (like to lose 20ish pounds). It's not easy but I know it'll be worth it when it's time to put my bathing suit on again this summer. Making sure I keep my diary up to date definitely keeps me honest...0

I'm 40, and a few weeks away from 41. I changed my starting weight, so not many people know how far I've come. Let's just say that I've lost a significant amount of weight. From obese to firmly in healthy BMI. I'm always down for new friends0

Hi. I am 43. I have lost around 25 so far and I have another 75 to lose to reach my first goal. I have been at it on and off since Jan 2014. I am fortunate that I have not developed any devastating problems yet (unless you count varicose veins). Friend me if you like. I am on here on and off throughout the day.0

hope everyone had a great weekend! did you get in your exercise and make good food choices?? hahaa....I took a salad to my sons baseball game and people looked at me funny...oh well!! haha0

I'm 40 and I have about 50 to lose! But I started really working on my health and fitness when I was about 37. I've lost 70 lbs, which I am super proud of. You can lose the weight, just stay focused and remind yourself you didn't gain the weight over night so it's not going to come off over night
