Welcome smlalio66. I added you as a friend! I am 57 years old with about 20 pounds to lose.

Welcome! I returned to MFP almost 4 months ago after a decade-long break in which I gained so much weight that my previous goal of losing 70 pounds seemed like another lifetime. I am 68, with a bad knee and arthritis, and with this tool keeping me on track I've lost 29 pounds. Now I'm thrilled to be able to say I only have 60 pounds to lose in order to be in a healthy BMI range!

My particular journey included refining how I used the food tracking: getting more accurate and complete by weighing food, taking the time to enter my own foods rather than just use what's already in the database, and then pre-planning a week's worth of meals to set my intention.

My loss slowed in the past month...but hey, Thanksgiving to Christmas and still a 3 pound loss. I tracked everything, and see exactly why I didn't lose more.

I think you'll find that it's a valuable tool to support your efforts!

Here is one discussion that's worth a read:
