    I am turning 39 on the 30th of April. Been on lazy Keto since November last year, SW 113kg and CW 106kg. I still have a long way to my TW, but I am well on my way! I am finding the food tracking very revealing. I hope the scale smiles on me by the 30th of April.

    I hit 40 in June. I'm weirdly ready and scared at the same time!

    OMG you're a baby. I'll be 46 in June. Are you a gemini?

    Cancer June 26 :p

    Yes. My goal isn’t weight loss but to maintain my current weight. I’m in my 40’s and find each decade brings its challenges.

    Turning 41 in a few days, I kept piling on weight after I left the Army at 29 (due to a training injury). I'd hit 300 lbs and just felt helpless -- for some reason I decided to go into mfp on January 6th and try to calorie count. I even bought a kitchen scale. Now I'm 263 lbs and the weight keeps dropping, with a lot of thanks to the encouragement I've received from people on here.

    Everyone commenting on their ages, I have to share! I'm 56-closing in on that 60 and I feel better about myself now, then when I was in my 30's! Yes, most of it is due to weight loss, but also other things factor in! I have always put others before myself and now it's me time! Taking care of myself both inside and out has been a big eye opener! I've been getting out of my "comfort" zone and it has been amazing. Enjoy your "age" no matter where you are!

    I agree, and you look fabulous! I turned 50 last year, and I also feel better than I did in my 30's. I think once we are done making everyone else a priority, and start making ourselves priority...wow, what a difference. I felt fantastic about turning 50, but struggled when I turned 40. I was miserable in my own skin back then.

    Hi! Newly re-engaged long time MFP member here. 48, need to lose about 40 lbs. All of the people I had originally connected with seem to no longer be active. Could use some friends that are interested in encouragement and following this journey with support. Add me!
