    I'm in. Turned 47 today and have been using MFP since May 2017. Been on my journey a bit longer. I'm 6'3' 252 as of this morning after being at 395 near my heaviest. I'm within 12 pounds of my target and I think I'm more anxious about that than I was starting the process to begin with. It's a different challenge and I'm looking for all of the insights I can gather.

    Hi I am Tracy & 42 years old. Feel free to add me! I have been struggling to lose the last lbs, but am pretty consistent with workouts. It would be great to have more friends to support and help motivate each other!

    I'm 66 and you can feel free to add me. Just make sure to mention you're over 40...lol..Otherwise I might think you are someone random. I have been with this for almost 2 years, and am down 110 lbs. Have some health issues, but still tried to get to the gym everyday. Yesterday I had a tummy tuck to get rid of the excess skin, so I am entering a new phase...a maintenance phase...I am totally committed to eating and staying more healthy, but enjoying life at the same time...I would be happy to support anyone and receive support from anyone on this journey to a new lifestyle..

    Awesome accomplishment! You have inspired me to try harder. I’m 65 with a bad leg( blocked arter) and bad back otherwise healthy.

    I'm 49. I lost 55 pounds a few years ago and have mostly kept it off. I did gain a bit more this fall than my usual 5 pounds, so I'm losing some more to get ready for races next year.
    For my 50th year, I'm doing a Spartan Trifecta, plus a couple of trail half marathons. I've also talked a friend of mine into trying to walk a trail that is just over 30 miles with me in one day. It'll be called "Sean's 10 League Day".

    I am not going gentle into that dark night.
