Hi! I’m 46, but young at heart! I’ve lost 20 pounds and want to lose another 20. I find every day there is some sort of temptation but if you eat a healthy nutritious diet those temptations are easier to dismiss. I started the day with scrambled egg whites and spinach and half a whole wheat English muffin and it has kept me very satisfied. Trying to up my exercise too. I actually jogged on the treadmill doing intervals for 20 minutes yesterday. Felt good! Strangely enough. I’m getting out of a weight loss rut. Feel free to add me as a friend. It’s always great to have some motivation and support.5

I have an "Ugh, it's not fair" instance for being a woman over 40. I logged a bike ride on Strava last night. It was approximatley 12.5 miles in under an hour, not super fast but not too shabby. Strava told me that I burned 280 calories in that time. A young guy (maybe late 20's) logged an almost exact ride yesterday too and it showed he burned 450 calories....
So not fair
And I wonder why it's so hard to lose weight when you are a woman, older, and in my case, short.
I feel your pain. Went running with my husband after training for weeks to improve my stamina. He did double the distance, much quicker and obviosuly burned more. Without prior training. Never went again with him.0 -

Fun fact: My husband and I love to travel. Favorite destination so far was Peru. @neepex27, I'm not a picky eater in that I will try just about anything...but I'm picky about what I like. Like the guinea pig in Peru. It's a delicacy there, so of course I had to try it. I didn't like it though. More the spices than the rodent. They were very foreign.2 -

I'm 40 years old, still 50 pounds overweight. 75 days straight on MFP! Lost 30 pounds so far, from 225 to 195, in 17 weeks. Let's all do this together and help each other! I'm excited I've finally found an eating plan that works for me long term. I'm a fast food junkie so I couldn't go TOO healthy and stick to it.4

I’m in 40s too. Please feel free to add me. Open and honest diary. Trying to get my pre kids body back! My kids are teenagers!! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my feet! I’ve lost 18kg this year. Still got a way to go...3

Hi ladies,
Turned 41 a couple months ago. Trying to balance it all: 3 young kids, full-time job, a lovely hubby, and then the million other things that require my attention daily. Exercise and nutrition is a huge priority for me and I love that MFP keeps me accountable!
Have a fantastic day!2 -
Ok--I'm a dork. I realized I posted here already a couple months ago. ^^You see? It's hard to balance my hectic schedule and memory is the first thing to go!
