    Started with MFP when I was 48 and lost recent weight I had gained that year.

    When I was 49, I started getting back into long distance cycling.

    At 53, after re-starting my running habit back in -- what? September? -- following about 9 years off, I'm running close to 10km 5 days/week at an 8 or 7.5 minutes/mile pace, or a bit faster than 5 minutes/km.

    Beginning from the end of June last year, I've lost over 30 lbs and am back down to the weight I was for most of my college career.
