    I am a similar stage/age . I've been on and off MFP for 2 years. Going "off" was always a mistake.

    When I am on it/using it - it really helps keep me focused, and I get results. Losing them when I stop too soon. I think I need to keep at it for a year plus for the habits to be formed and the lifestyle change to be solid.

    I have only lost a very little (in the 40 day streak I am back on), BUT my eating habits and exercise habits have greatly improved. I think it is common for it to be slow at a certian age - making "sticking with it" the most critical element of success.

    I am feeling confident that I am laying a critical foundation for perm weight loss and control by focusing consistency in tracking, improved nutrition consistent movement - sometime formal exercise classes, sometime dog walking or golf - just staying on my feet and in motion as much as possible.

    Happy to provide any support I can.
