    Greetings!

    I'm over 40 also. Okay, to be totally honest I'm turning 50 this year.

    Welcome to MFP. I hope you'll find this to be a supportive, helpful resource. Good luck on your journey!

    Welcome. I'll be 50 in a few weeks. Wish I'd lost this weight 10 years earlier. Or 20.

    Good luck!

    This site motivates me! I love the friends I have made on here, they really encourage me and I, in turn, encourage them. Use this site as a place to meet people with similar goals.
    I found this app on my iPhone before I found it on the computer. I use both - I prefer to log my food on my mobile. It's easy to read & respond to my friends there too. But I read and respond to message boards on the computer (can't on mobile).

    I am over 40 and looking to loose 60+ pounds. Not doing very good as I have only lost 10 pounds in 100 days :-( always looking for friends and advice.

    also check out Chalene Extreme I am over 40 and have had such a hard time losing weight since I hit 30. Apparently muscle burns more fat and this program gets results fast and keeps your metabolism up even when you are not working out. I am doing it along with TurboFire and loving the results, wish I had found it 10 years ago!

    Welcome! I'll be 42 this year. Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot lose weight and get toned in your 40s. That crap hasn't happened to me. :)

    Welcome to MFP and I wish you great success on your journey. I am almost 42 and have a long way to go, but the concepts touted here really work: eat fewer calories by making healthy choices and move more with exercise.

    Simple really. Why did it take me this long to get it? :)

    I, too am over 40 and looking for support on this journey, but of a gluten free lifestyle change. If there is anyone else who may be gluten free, that could help me, I would welcome the help.

    :happy: I will be 41 this year, and always had to fight with my weight. Feel free to add me as a friend! Workout buddies help, setting a goal helps, even if it a mini one.We all seem to have those bad days, and sometimes just need a friend for moral support,,,
