    Not quite there yet at 58 yrs old. Dropped about 45lbs starting at age 54. Looking to drop about 10-15 more to help me get faster in races. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    I'm 51 but I'm struggling more this time to lose the weight I think because I'm getting older. I need to re-commit NOW if I'm going to make my goal weight by June 1st! Good luck to all!
