    59. Best shape of my life, sans childhood until about 13. Being a sports nut helps but now instead of watching (like I did for my 20's, 30's and 40's) I play hard at least 5 x a week. I love it and have added bodybuilding and yoga. I feel as if I were 39... lol! I really do. I now wear a 6/8 with plenty of room to make sure the buttons aren't gaping and the zippers aren't really to explode. Life holds many strange surprises and this surprise (4 years of weight loss and maintenance) couldn't have been predicated if you had given me a million bucks.

    I need to hang out with you for awhile.

    I’ll be 51 in about six weeks. Thankfully everyone thinks I’m a lot younger!!!🥳🥳🥳

    I had gained weight a couple of years ago and wasn’t sure if it was hormonal and this is what every middle aged woman goes through. Then I heard someone talk about keto and how they lost weight and were naming others who did the same.

    I started on my new diet last year mid-June. I was at 157 lbs.

    I am happy to say that one year later I am at 129 lbs! I haven’t been this weight in a long time and I feel great! My husband has been watching what he’s eating and we bought a Peloton bike. So besides the treadmill, elliptical, walking and weights, we use the bike in the evening. I feel so much better now. Back to my old self again. 😬

    We eat salmon, chicken, fruits, veggies, nuts, beans, etc. I also drink a lot of water all day long, along with herbal tea and supplements. Best I’ve felt in a long time. 🎉💃🏼

    Morning, friends!
    I slept in a bit this morning because I’m working quite late tonight. I’m bringing some of the people that I support to a concert and to the casino. Love my job ❤️❤️❤️.

    Hello, I’m Jeff, I’m 43 years old. I’m married and have 3 sons, one teenager and twin 5 year olds. I work all of the time. My goals are to get more consistent with workouts and to eat healthier. I’m trying to find balance between calories and things like sodium, cholesterol . Seems like when I eat enough calories for the day I go over on the bad things. When I try to not go over on the bad things then I struggle to get enough calories.

    Hope you walked outside
    It's so gorgeous here. I weeded the garden and now my boy and I are just sitting enjoying the backyard and listening to the planes flying over. I need to pop out to the store for a couple of things but I'm too comfy

    Hi, I'm 56 and single. Been trying to do this by myself and not doing to good. Decided to sign up on MFP today and hopefully find others going through similar situations. Being older and trying to lose a lot of weight is not always easy. I've been working on changing old habits and way of thinking to forming new ones. I'm determined to

    Hello Pandygirl19, It is always helpful to have others to bounce ideas off of and help you along the way. Hope you can find an activity that you can do to burn some calories, even if it is just taking a walk everyday. Just be careful and start off slow and then build from there.

    @jeffcouchot, That's my plan. Start out walking slowly, and doing some easy exercise videos at home to build up some strength and endurance. Your right bouncing ideas off other people back and forth along with the encouragement and support will help a great deal. Thanks! 😀

    Hi id like to join - I'm 38, need to lose around 30kgs and lets be honest, losing at this age compared to losing in your twenties is a totally different ballgame! Please feel free to add me as a friend if you are similar age and have a similar amount to lose <3
