Hello. You can do it!!! I am 41 years old and I lost 150lbs, and I have been maintaining for about 2 months now. I started at 300lbs and I am currently around 148lbs (5'8"). I have a 4 year old boy, too. I have not been this weight since college and struggled yo-yo'ing for years. But MFP has been my break through. It keeps me honest, and I have never had remorse or regret about what I eat anymore, even on cheat or bad days. I also got really sick, and that woke me up too. I eat well now and I do light cardio every once-in-a-while. Just keep focused and never give up.2

You rock!
Love your attitude!1 -
Yes I lost a good amount of weight and I'm well into my 40s.
I've now changed my weight loss journey more into a fitness one and am loving it.
Good luck!3 -
I'm 45 and have a 19-year-old. I'm down 45 pounds since last January, went from 182 to 137, so obese to normal BMI. Five pounds to go! I'm in better shape now than before I had my son.7

I lost 106 pounds at 59 and will be 62 this month and am still maintaining. Yes it is absolutely possible!5

Very possible. 5 foot, four inches and my highest weight was 196 lbs. I lost 46 lbs. when I was 50 years old and kept 26 of those pounds off up until now. You do have to watch out for menopause--I regained those pounds due to a combination of menopause and a painful injury that slowed me down for a couple of years (cortisol can affect your weight, alas). Back on track with MFP and down 10 pounds since January. Slow but steady. My ultimate goal is around 140-145, which will put me at a healthy BMI.2
