Hi all 46 here and down 50 pounds after I finally quit smoking a year ago. Probably in better shape now than ive been in since my 20's.

40's are the new 30's!

Hi all! I am 44 and losing it the "right" way this time. Too many yo-yo diets over the years have trashed my metabolism, but now I am gradually building it back up and losing the weight. Glad to be part of a group that understands it gets a little harder when the big 40 roles around. :-)

I'm 40 something, although at present I'm 21 I've lost about 82 lbs and I'm in maintenance. I've never had trouble losing weight. My biggest challenge is keeping it off. This looks like it could be an interesting group!

82 pounds is what I need to loose!!! how long did it take you to loose it and what is some of your best advice......

I think everyone is unique and has to try things to figure out what works for them. But here is some good advice I've gotten:

1. Find some form of exercise you can enjoy because you'll be more likely to stick with it
2. Have something you're training for to help keep you motivated to exercise (like a 5k, warior dash, or even just a special hiking or canoeing trip)
3. Have some planned (non-food) rewards for reaching your goals along the way

Hope these tips help you like they did me!
