Default How much is age a factor?

I'm going into this at 52.

Started with a BMI of 43.2 but have managed to get down to 41 at the last weigh-in (that was a month ago and I know I'm lower now).

I don't have any comorbidities that I know of - just the aches and pains of being overweight (arthritis in the hips and knees).

My husband is concerned about the age thing and bad enough that I have a honking big umbilical hernia that needs repairing, he's worried that I'm not as young as a log of the folk on this board.
