    Hi ! Just turned 39. I own a boot camp and workout 7 boot camps a week + biking, walking, contemplating getting off my butt to do yoga and occasionally some interval runs. I eat pretty healthy but have a bad tendency for wine over-consumption. Trying to get to 115-120 and preserve this hard-earned muscle (I'm 5' ... eh maybe 5'1 and you can see muscle even with the body fat lol).

    19-24 pounds to go ... UGH -- seems like every year of my life I am 100 lbs + my age. Got to over 145 and said ENOUGH!!
    Hypothyroidism kicking my butt too.

    Sucks! But ... I think that biting the bullet and just keeping my calories to 1300-1500 / day is doing the trick! I refuse low carb. I think 30/30/40(protien) is healthy. MFP is pretty awesome if you can just really stick with it.

    I have just turned 42 and was given a directive by my doctor to start exercising again which should magically fix all my issues. Giving this another try and hoping it sticks this time.

    45 here. Recently took a course of steroids, ate like a mad woman and now am facing 18-20 pounds that I had taken off for 3 previous years. Eating keto-ish worked for me last time (for the big reduction) -- hoping it can again.

    I'm 42, and I never realized how easy it is for weight to just creep up and surprise you! Easy to put on, so hard to get off, and hard to find the time to meal plan, exercise, all without starving, or having to start over several time. Looking forward to talking to some people about their weight loss journeys.
