Welcome any ladies over 50

Beachbaby30

Hi! I started in January and have lost 10 pounds. I have 15-20 to go and would welcome any new friends to join me in the journey. It IS so much harder to do this when one is over 50 and I can use all the support I can get.

Hi. I just started a week ago. Need to lose about 60 lbs. I am a 50 yr old female. And yes it is much harder than when i was in my 30's.

Congrats on the loss!! Feel free to add!

Congrats on your loss. I've been using MFP since New Year and have lost 15 pounds. I had lost 18 pounds prior to that, so I am down 33 pounds in total. You're right, it's harder to lose weight after 50. I feel like it's more important than ever to get to a healthy weight now. I still need to lose at least 33 more pounds. Please feel free to add me too.

I am 51 and I am on a weight loss/fitness journey also. I like using the map my fitness app to trace my walks and exercise. I have lost 7 pounds over the last 2 weeks and looking forward to loosing 5 more. It doesn't just melt off like when I was younger. I have been exercising since June but just now adjusted my eating. I worked like magic. It would be really fantastic to have a summer being normal weight instead of over weight!

Joined in 2013 but have not been active for many months. Over 50 but trying to stay positive and not always blame gaining weight on my age. Exercise is a must for me to lose.Keep up the good work ladies!

I am 51 and have been working out more for the past five years. I lost 22 pounds a few yrs ago and kept it off without any trouble until now. I am halfway through four chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer. I had surgery in December and will have surgery again after chemo. I am recovered from surgery and able to workout but for ten days after chemo i only have the energy to do yoga. I am also on steroids for several days for each treatment so i think that is why i am gaining. I am hoping to maintain my weight and would love to take ten pounds off by my daughters wedding in late May. Using MFP to try to be more aware of what i am eating and to motivate me to move more. Looking for friends to encourage me.

I'm just starting and I'm 55 years old. I would like to lose 20 lbs, but 10-15 would work.

I am 55 in a couple of months. Used to be really fit in my forties, then a back injury stopped everything bar yoga and pilates. Started walking 4-5 miles a day, need to kick this middle age lack of energy and post menopausal dullness into touch

Im 52 and I have to start slow and ramp up slowly due to fibromyalgia. I would love supportive friends! Please friend me! My first goal is to lose 6 pounds by my birthday and to lose 10% of my body eight before I go back to the Dr (three months) I also would love to get the sugar out of my life! Im addicted to coffeemate vanilla creamer and I'm really sad to say goodbye to that!! The main goal used to be looks but now its feeling better looks would be the cherry on top!

Hi, I'm 54 & would like to lose 1st., I'm about 10st but only 5ft 4in so I'm feeling heavy & not as active. I used to work out a lot, dance & had energy. I too don't want to blame age, my diet has gone to pot so maybe we can encourage each other!
Please add me.

Hi everyone. I'm 55 and committed to getting this 50lbs off for good. It's time to take care of me. I am looking for support as well as giving support. It would be nice to share our ups and downs in this journey and encourage one another. Please feel free to add me.

I'm 58 and have over 50lbs. I would like to lose. I am doing Atkins, and so far doing pretty well. It's slow, but at least the scales are moving in the right direction. I look at this as a lifestyle change not a diet, so I have the time to lose the weight and get healthy. Would welcome more friends to give and receive support and encouragement.

Hello all. I too have struggled with my weight for years. I know what I need to do, but have great difficulty changing my terrible eating habits. I could really use support from this site. Good luck to you all.

Hi Every one , I'm nearly 60 and wanting to lose about 5 kilos I know it does not sound much but I am a small frame and I'm sick of tight jeans and feeling frumpy. I've lost a kilo a week so far I'm loving this site. The problem for me is keeping it off
Good luck
Cheers Jane

Hi I'm 51. and even staying under my calories most days but always the whole week I'm not getting anywhere any advice please

slovie64

I just turned 50 - would love to lose a big 100 pounds, but I'll take what I can get. I walk daily - if anyone wants to add me as a friend, I'd love it!

Hello folks! I'm not quite 50 yet but I turn 49 Nov18 so I think its a good idea to check out what the 50 group is talking about since I'm closer to 50 than 45. Lol! I've got 125lbs to lose. I'm sure I'll be squarely 50 by then. I've been on MFP for 5 days. I've lost 8lbs so far. I've got to do this! My life, my health, and my career depends on it. I' m a Singer/ Songwriter and I'm working on my first album. Crazy I know. But I've gotta do this. This is the moment I've been waiting for forever! Everyone keeps telling me its never too late to follow your dreams. I dream of being a successful trim singer. Able to provide for my family adequately.

Im 52... I just found out about MFP last night as I got a "Fitbit" and read that this site helps with calculating your food... and uploads to fitbit. (Not quite sure how this works... but going to try to input "breakfast" in a few minutes. I am just finishing 21 day Fix. have lost 4 lbs so far... and have about 4 more days to go. Goal is to lose 10 lbs and firm up... and feel better/ stronger and have more energy. Anyone who has been doing MFP and has any tips or ideas on how you input your food for the day...I am happy to hear... seems a bit overwhelming. Or do I just input 1400 calories bc I am on 21 day fix and that is already portioned out? vs each individual item I eat? THX

Hello everyone. I completed my first week of MFP. I'm 56, perimenopausal, high BP (on meds), too much weight in abdominal area ( I feel like a tick) and sick and tired of feeling sick and tired! I started Bikram Yoga and realized how unhealthy I am. I'm on a mission

Approaching the big 60 so started back today. I could use a buddy through this journey.

You sound just like me. I am 52 and this time last year I tracked my food and lost weight all while working out but when I stopped and went back to eating whatever I gained most of it back. I am still working out but realize at this age that it's the calories that count so I am going to start tracking on MFP again and add an extra day at the gym. I too only have about 15 lbs to lose.

Great description "like a tick"! My brother in law says that after a big meal..."I'm as full as a tick"...but he's not overweight. I reached my 60th birthday on 2/27 and my 92 year old father died the same day. I want to live to his age but not in an unhealthy body. Now is the time! I'm joining your mission if you don't mind!

I'm 56 years old. I am 5'3" and need to lose 30-40 pounds. I've done FP before and have been successful. Aging, menopause and depression meds have led me to this point. Here I go again!
