    Hello, and welcome!

    I was "only" 59 when I joined MFP, but turned 60 before losing all of the 50-some pounds I needed to lose. I'm now 67, and have stayed at a healthy weight since, now age 67. That, after being overweight/obese for around 30 years previously.

    I'm not saying this for self-glorification (heaven forbid) but to justify saying: MFP absolutely can work as part of a weight management program for those who are 60+, in my experience. I'm far from the only one who'd say that.

    I'm cheering for you to succeed, because it's been a huge quality of life improvement for me. All the best!
