    Hi. I'm 51 and also from Michigan I started doing this a couple of months ago. I'm trying to keep with the calorie intake each day. Most days it is fine however, I find that when we go to a social function, all I can think about is all the yummy goodies that everyone else is eating and I am not. Does anyone else feel like that?

    I'm 54 too! I live in the Los Angeles area and have just recently starting using MFP again. Calorie counting and Intermittent Fasting. One week in and down 3lbs! Feel free to add me!

    Thank you for all replies. I need to learn how to navigate the "community". Apparently the world now knows my age and fertility status!
    Micybermom-hi fellow Michigander I have to try harder NOT to indulge :(
    Strive2belean-I am also hypo thyroid and even a registered dietician told me its very hard for those with (hypo) so shes saying there's a chance :))

    I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease), and I lost weight more slowly than most MFPers. So be patient!

    But I did it just like everybody else—by eating fewer calories than I burn. I followed the advice in the Sexypants post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1
