Of course it can happen!
MFP is full of people would have done tremendous things with their health and fitness even later than 40.
The metabolism may slow a tiny bit but itβs still the same old formula - calorie in vs calories out π
Good luck on your journey π2 -
Don't talk yourself old at just 40.
You are just a baby!
Energy balance works for everyone from birth until death.7 -
I started losing weight at 45 and lost 150+ lbs. So yes it can be done.7

Yay for starting down the path!
You know, I was 36 years old for years and years and years. Just this year I decided to be 42 for a while. Just a number. Like that thing on the scale - a number. You can lose (or gain) at any age. Do what you know you need to do; create a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight! Simple, YES! Easy? Hell no.
What are your plans to assure success? How are you going to use the tools available here to make your journey pleasant and take you where you want to go?4 -
simple answer yes 49 - 356lbs - 6.2 and just started a bit ago and i am losing set your calories keep them log everything it helps and exercise its just a matter of making the choice and sticking with it :-)2
