    Hi...I'm 59 and I'm afraid losing weight does not get easier! I always thought "older" people were so silly when they told me this when I was the young one!

    I'd love to be your friend, too! I'm pretty new to this. I've only been on this one week, but I did lose good last week!! Only 38.6 lbs to go!

    I am 48 and just found this site, looking forward to tracking my journey with you all. I want to lose 25-30 pounds. I have gained 20 pounds back of the 74 I had previously lost.....I was almost to my goal when I started to gain weight again. I am trying to catch myself from getting out of control again.

    Wow...looks like you got friends... and more friends then you may have expected. I'm 49 and feel your pain (from calorie counting and exercise...lol). Feel free to friend me and also to anyone else who is looking for friendship. I will support you but expect feedback as well. Good luck on your journey.

    WOW, Thank you all so much, for all your comments, support and requests, I'm over whelmed:heart:

    I've accepted all requests sent to me, I've also added as many as I can (keep going through post)

    I will add all that have asked. If I miss you, please just add me :)

    I'm so glad I did this post and found lots of new friends just like me :)

    I've had some messaged also regarding depression/anxiety as this is also something I suffer with (managing a lot better now though)

    So I look forward to us all supporting each other and breaking through our 40 and upwards age weight block :)

    Turning 51 next month! Yes, it's much easier to gain and harder to lose. I believe exercise is the key to keeping in shape at our age. We just can't ever give up! One day at a time!

    I am 44 and was never slim. I try lo loose 23kg but will be OK with less as well. I just see this as an opportunity to live healthier.
    I am looking forward to seeing your progress and showing mine.

    Hello,
    I am 46 and was having a very hard time losing weight until I found this site. I feel I have been very successful here. It is a slow process but it works.
