Hello everyone!
I too am over 50 (57 to be exact) and overweight. I would like to lose 100 pounds but would be thrilled with 75! I recently rejoined the workforce which includes a 2 hour commute round trip. We are having a 90 day weight challenge at my job (since we work for the Dept of Health) and I want to kick butt on this! I joined a gym Tuesday and will go evry morning -EARLY- and work up to 1 hour.....I hope!
Let's support one another!
Add me as a friend!

I'm 54 and as many of you, have struggled with extra weight for quite a few years. I used to be slimmer in my early 30s but was diagnosed with lupus and had to take prednisone every day. It took away the pain and made me feel great...but it also slowly added about 70 extra pounds over the next 20 years! No thanks to lupus I also had to have both my heart valves replaced in late March 2013 and now I feel fantastic!!! Oh, I'm still overweight and slow, and lazy and undisciplined. But now I can walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I"m passing out, and walk down a street without stopping. Hooray!

I'm 50 and can certainly relate to the "changes" that happen at our age, I'm back and trying to stick to losing that 30 lbs that came with the "change" so I would love to be supportive and supported - feel free to add me as a friend

I'm new and just turned 50 back in the Spring - with over 50 pounds to lose.

Job keeps me on my behind all day, which hasn't helped much. Living in Washington State and am trying to get an evening walk in every day while the weather is nice.

Would love to have some "friends" in the same boat!

I'm 54, lost 30 on MFP and a lot of hard work. 15 more to go and then I'll reevaluate. I do things in small intervals.
I hit menopause an it was like getting used to new everything...how I felt, weight going places it never did before, desserts taking the comfy chair, etc.
I was so tired all the time, it was hard to get motivated and walking alone wasn't working after a while. For me the newer 20-30 minute DVD's were great because I could tell myself, you can do this, it's only half an hour....granted a "long" one at times, but doable.
I have 3 college-age children and a 3 year old lab. Anyone want to share or need a little motivation, feel free to say hello or friend me.

Totally understand where your coming from I'm 51 and just got over some knee problems and back problems from thinking I could do zumba (ha). I sent a friend request so add if you'd like.

Hello everyone, I'm 50 years young - can't quite believe it! Haven't finished with my 20s yet! Spent most of my 30s and all of my 40s getting old before my time, as my figure got more and more matronly so it's nothing short of a miracle to discover it doesn't have to be that way! I've lost 2 stone since signing on here in November, and want to lose another. No sign of the menopause yet (or none I've recognised apart from all-over dessication!) - it probably doesn't dare! But I'm sure it's lurking.

50 is the new 30!!!! With all that weight gone, it is starting to feel that way anyway!

I'm happy to make new friends! I'm a Brit in the UK so talk a bit wierd and keep strange hours

In October I will be starting my last year of fifties - where does the time go! I've been active on MFP for a little more than year and really enjoying the support found here.
