ABSOLUTELY. I'm 44, hypothyroid and had a hysterectomy several years ago. You can battle age and hormone issues and WIN. But you have to be consistent and patient. It takes longer at this age to lose. You are changing your mindset about eating, exercising and living. I was ready to give up the dream at 43, but I kept at it…
