I am 44 yrs old and trying to lose weight AGAIN. It gets harder and harder to lose the weight. For once I would like to lose the weight and somehow manage to maintain the weight loss for more than a year. It's true what they say. When you reach 40 the weight just doesn't come off like it did in your twenties. So my hope is that by counting calories and exercising and finding people struggling like me that the weight will come off for good this time. Good Luck to everyone here!
