    Today is my 39th birthday. I'm at work but my husband did take me out to lunch. Life is good. Woke up lighter than I was yesterday. Down 41.4 pounds since August and feeling good! Thankful for another year, a healthy body and wonder family/friends.

    Happy belated birthday, and congratulations on your weight loss progress.

    Well I did the first 3 weeks of 80DO and had good results! I lost 6 pounds and 3" going from 135 to 129 on my 5'5" frame. I stopped for two weeks, because I was traveling. So on Monday I am going to start from scratch.

    If anyone wants to see my progress, I am going to document the whole thing with pictures and info etc, shoot me a friend request. Or if you want to share recipes or advice! Community is welcome :)

    Oh I am also a physical therapist and a yoga teacher :) And 40 years old, 41 in March :P

    42 next week! I kind of love being older. My health journey is much more about what I can do than what I look like!

    Feel free to add me and get off my lawn :)

    It's always the last few kg that are the most difficult. I am still losing slowly but steadily, but I am not that close to my goal - still have 12 kg to go

    Can you add "60 and 70s" to the name of the group so those in their 50's don't feel like we are the oldest?

    I'm 51, from Florida. I am doing keto. Down 28lbs since October. Goal is to maybe lose 12 more. Not sure as I'm trying to build muscle at the same time.

    Hello I’m a 38 year old mother of three decided to try to have our last baby about 8mths ago i removed my iUD and now i have irregular cycles and have put on about 10lbs i have high blood pressure as well. I want to be healthy while losing weight and helping my body regulate so i can get pregnant in the next few months.

    I have been told about the Keto diet and would love to learn more and have a support team. I’m a full time nursing student after deciding to make a career change so i looking for simplicity in eating as my time is consumed with studies,Clinicals, and being a mother and wife.

    Yup. Older and wiser. Nothing to be ashamed of.

    Not an expert, but at 83, you are probably not to high on bf anyway. (If I were at 83 (bmi 25) and had the same amount of muscles, I would be at 10% bf). So there are two ways to lower body fat: loose fat OR build muscles. Put on to kg muscles, and bf will sink.

    Hi everyone. Long time MFP'er. I go by T short for Tammy. I just turned 41, 11 days ago. I joined MFP When I was 35 years old. I noit only met but far exceeded my initial goals. However like a lot of people, due to life's circumstances, I got off track. I'm back and looking for new motivational friends! Please feel free to add!
