    I;m 54 and halfway to my goal. Another 25 to lose. I hope my doctor gives me a thumbs up tomorrow over the 25 lost the last few months but we'll see. ; )
    I found logging and just finding what I could do with the time I had, made it click and the support. Years ago, I hated DVD;s, always had to be outdoors or the gym, now, I work longer hours, I'm older and more tired and DVD's aren't so bad. I believe whatever works for you is a good thing. Anyone who wants another pal, feel free to add me.

    Hello all, my name is Bambi, yes it's my real name...:) I'm 56 years young...I've just joined Cal Family Fitness and needed a journal to record my foods/workouts and looking around I found this amazing site. Hoping to find encouragement and fun in my journey to losing this weight I've put on these last 2 years. Will be looking to add friends and being added. Thanks and have a Blessed Day.

    I'm 51 years old, started my journey to health back when I was 49 as my screen name implies. I joined 2 years ago but never started participating until last week. Goes to show how fast time flies. I was able to lose some weight this past year by mindful eating but really need more structure and support. Please feel free to add me. Wishing everyone luck !!

    Is this for over 50 yrs old or those who need to lose 50+lbs. I'm 51 yrs old, but don't have 50 lbs to lose. Just on maintenance & trying to gain more lean muscle.

    Hi I am 57 and need to loose 50+ so I fall into either category. Would love some friends on here as I only joined last week and need all the help and support I can get. I live in the UK, and will post a picture when I get home as I can't do it from school (I teach). Have a good day all.

    HI, I'm 54 and am planning to lose at least 25 pounds. Once I get there I'll see where else I want to go. Just signed up on this site yesterday. I walk by choice, run by necessity and would love to ride my bike more. Any and all advice is welcome so add me at will. First advice I need is: How do I add new friends? Thanks and Let's Do This!!!

    Hi Barbiecat Thank you for clarifying that I am not the person who started Any 50+ Women out there. :) I am new to MFP and was attempting to join your group already in progress. I was really attracted to the group because I am 50+ and need to lose 60lbs. I am very touched by the support and sensitivity shared among members of the group. I believe that kind of support and sharing is critical for me and others to succeed. So once again Thank you all for showing the way to a better and healthy life. Muah!

    Hi, I'm a 53 year young Michigander. Feel free to add me to your friends list if you care too. I lost 55 pounds between 9/1/03 and 6/1/04 and have been yo-yoing ever since. For the most part, I have maintained between 50 and 55 pounds but have gone to a 45 pound loss at one point and as much as a 60 pound loss. Hang in there.

    Yeah!! I'm almost 54, joined 3 weeks ago and after losing 4 pounds, I only have 131 to go. :drinker: It sounds so overwhelming but it has really helped me to log in and check out what others are saying. I plan to join the 50+ thread, too. Looking forward to walking through this with all of you!

    Hi,
    I'm 56 and new to this site. I need to lose 50 pounds.
    I'm embarrassed by my weight, tired of not having energy and want to able to move, go and do again.
    I need all the encouragement and accountability I can get.
    This week I have started walking again - 2 miles yesterday!
    Please feel free to add me to your friends list. :-)
