    I am well over 40, I'm 51 :bigsmile:

    I don't have a cattle prod but I do have an axe, that usually gets people moving!!

    I will turn 50 this month and have 70 pounds to lose. I started a new thread to introduce myself, but saw this thread bump to the top. Please feel free to add me. I am looking for mutual encouragement and support.

    Turned 40 in Oct and am here after losing 35 lbs over on livestrong a couple of years ago. It's all crept back (or nearly all). I'd love a couple buddies too!

    I'm 48 and have to credit MFP and my friends here for helping me and holding me responsible (food diary!) I think it takes a little more time to get the metabolism kicked into gear when you're a little more "seasoned," but I've been able to drop 17 lbs. I'm not planning on losing anymore, but want to be accountable, and continue to get more fit.

    Hi all I'm 47 will be 48 in March and know very well the difficulties of losing and keeping weight off after the BIG 40!!! I tried MFP a couple of years ago and got wrapped up in other things, got side tracked, distracted, disinterested, hmmm what other excuses can I come up with :-) So now here I am 40 pounds later and am DterMined to get fit and healthy before I turn 50!!! Am seeking motivational support and friendships to help me reach my goal, so look for my request in your mailbox :)

    I am with you... been to WW and it worked, but so hard with life happening! i am super new to this - started yesterday. I am good for the tracking and I just need to keep motivated like everyone else. It's hard when you don't like to work out and are alone in that. But, I did it before with WW and I believe that I can do it again!

    I am 40, will be 41 this month. I am not new at this, but fell off of living a healthy lifestyle. I started tracking my food on Monday and started working out today. Feel free to add me. I could use all the support (encouragement) I can get and I will return the same.

    Hi, I am Robin, 48, and have 86 pounds to loose. I am just trying for a slow 1 pound a week. Maybe then I can maintain the change in behavior. Could use a few friends.

    So how's everyone doing? We're 5 days into the new year. Still sticking with it? I had a Disneyland day with my kids yesterday and stuck to things pretty well. Couldn't track, but made best choices. Lots of walking.
