    Hi, all! I'm 45 and the heaviest I've ever been. I'm on a goal-mission to lose 100 lbs by next May when I move. Looking for accountability partners, too. Dee, feel free to add me! Let's support each other in our quest. :)

    You can do it! I achieved my goal at age 50 and I've maintained since then, currently 55. I lost 85 pounds. Don't believe the mid life lies, haha, but yes all the hormone issues can make it a little more of an uphill climb - especially when they interrupt your sleep. Lack of sleep is the biggest driver of hunger hormones ever, so remember that eating up to maintenance is always a win!!!! (it's not gaining weight - it's staying at maintenance)

    I'm 43. About 10 years ago I was given the advice to focus on process, not results. When you focus on the former, you will see the latter.

    I don't diet. I just have a low calorie lifestyle, which this website helps me track. I do have my weaknesses (craft beer), but the food diary keeps me mindful of how much protein, fat and carbs I take in, which alleviates the guilt of that sweet, sweet Great Lakes Porter(s).

    Feel free to add me... and others who wish. My news feed has been pretty quiet, it would be nice to have some people that post more. I just turned 40 ... looking to lose 40 - 50 lb. Typically I follow IIFYM. I had best results when I focused on strength, I got pretty lazy over winter and I've been trying to up my activity over spring. I've lost 13 since March - which was what I had gained over the winter :
