Starting back ..seems like it gets harder when you get older.

I started at age 59 and 301 lbs. I've lost 120 in 18 months. Now that's "hard", and I'm not done yet. It's possible at any age and any weight. There are lots of success stories here on MFP to prove it. I posted my story in the Success Stories forum yesterday "18 months and going strong".0

That's the best reason of all to start. Remember how you feel today because not coming back here will be your motivation to keep going. If I can do it at 60 you can do it at 48!0 -
I don't think age has anything to do with it
I think it gets harder when you've done it all before and fallen off the wagon
That's why I was always successful at losing first time following specific programmes like weightwatchers, skimmers world, harcombe, Atkins etc ...but I'd fall off the wagon and put on weight and just not be as successful next time round cos I started off employing the tricks I learned
This time I threw them all out ..went CICO and moved more and really focused on maintenance eg no my diet is finished just this way of living is continuing
Because without focus I will quite simply get fat and unfit again
Maintenance takes more than losing ...no scale based rewards any more
Love this. I'm trying to ride the moderation train this time around and see if I can just get off the rollercoaster once and for all.0 -

I know how you feel, ever since I turned 40, over 5 years ago, I've noticed my metabolism is not at all the same and I can't seem to lose weight. I'm hopeful that logging my food and exercise will help me see where I self sabotage and become more aware of the long term changes I need to make. Good luck!0

This is the place to be if you truly want to lose weight and keep it off. This time of year is tough. But keep logging and reaching out and the pounds will come off.
