    Hello! I'm 44 and need to lose ~115 (24 down since January). I'm not dieting, I eat what I feel like just in moderation and have increased my exercise by walking. Once the weather gets colder I will make my way back to the gym. Feel free to add me, I can use all the inspiration anyone has to offer. :smiley:

    I am a terrible MFP friend. I very rarely post anything to anyone. There are just too many people to keep up with, so I quit trying.

    But I started with like 120-130 pounds to lose. I was over forty. I have a thyroid issue.

    And I'm down 92 pounds.

    I went from Obese, Class II (nearly Class's III, which is as high as it goes) and eating total crap to Normal BMI and eating healthy food.

    My former diet was like Crunch Berries and a donut for breakfast, a Quarter Pounder, large fries and a shake for lunch and Olive Garden Chicken Fettuccine and cheesesticks for dinner, with some cookies, cake or brownies tossed into the mix. I'm not even exaggerating. I was literally pissed when they moved produce to the front of the store because I considered it a waste of my time and effort, having to walk the extra feet through food I wasn't buying.

    It took me a long time to get my diet solidly under control. Lots of stumbling and some longer periods of falling off the wagon. Now, I spend a lot of time in that produce department and am happy it comes first, because it can zip in, grab what I need and am right by the checkout. East in, easy out.

    I stuck with it and I did it. I am so much healthier! And I look better. Size 24 to size 10...so far. Next stop: Single Digits! I had kept a pair of size 18 shorts, but even when I started losing weight, I doubted I'd ever get back into an 18 again. Now, I'm waiting for size 8.

    It can be done.

    If you're forty, fat and freaking sick of it, you can do it, too. :)

    (Just don't try counting on me for support because I suck at that.)

    Welcome. This is my 3rd round of MFP. It works but you have to stick with it which is much easier with others along for the journey. I am 42 and have about 90 I want to lose. First goal though is to get back to onederland and that is 33 pounds. Feel free to add me

    Hi I've just joined again a few days ago. I want to lose about 100 too. It's very daunting but I know this app works better for me than slimming world or weight watchers. It makes think before I eat!
    Feel free to add me folks :)

    I am 44 and just lost over 100 lbs. Anyone can add me and If i can help I will. I will be honest so if you are still blaming the world for your being obese I might not be the friend for you.

    I have around 35 pounds to lose. I'm 45 and losing weight is harder now. But, lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks so far. Happy with that. Don't believe in willpower but transforming your mind.

    I'm only 38 but I could really use friends! Yourself or anyone else needing support. I'm down about 47 lbs with around 110 to go.

    Does a goal of 50 count?
