    I'm Tanya. I'll be 56 next week and looking for support from our generation. Needing to lose 40 to 50 lbs. I was born and raised in Colorado. No kids and no family left. Need some support.

    I'm among the many over 60 who find support here on MFP. I've lost 60+ lbs, exercise 4-5 hours a week, and have a Fitbit One that helps me understand how much I need to move every day. I, too, have tried every program out there, with limited success on some of them; I am a Lifetime Weight Watchers member, having achieved Lifetime then gaining 40 lbs back a few years ago. Got serious again and went back to the program and got back to my WW goal weight. I became discouraged that, despite counting "points" I could not lose much weight, so got serious about exercise. That was the key for me, and I began losing a pound a week, consistently. MFP really helped me connect the two ideas of watching what I eat and moving my body more. I feel better than I have in years, but know it's a daily battle. Friend me if you'd like.

    Hi and welcome! I am 61 years old and will be turning 62 this year. I have yo-yo dieted my whole life, and after my divorce, completely gave up for about four years. My weight was the highest it ever was. I became depressed and decided to do something about it. I lost about 20 pounds and started dating. I was so stressed out, that the weight just fell off. Then I met the love of my life and got married. In the first year, I gained 15 pounds. That's when I found MFP. It's helped me to lose the weight by logging and introduced me to exercise. If others could do it, I could too! Feel free to friend me. I am very supportive.:heart:

    Hi. I'm 61, just starting to use MFP with a FitBit on order. I'm an ex-skinny who has had a weight problem for the last few years due to a combination of menopause, hypothyroidism, giving up smoking and leading a more sedentary lifestyle since I moved from the UK to Canada 8 years ago. I've been clinically overweight on and off (and yo-yo dieting) since 2007.

    I'm moving back to the UK in July this year, and determined to lose the bulk of the weight I put on before I get there. I started dieting at 164.5 lb in January and am now down to 157. I've just switched from WW to MFP which I think will meet my needs better.

    Below 154 lb will get my BMI to below 25, which is my first goal. But my 'ideal' weight is 135 lb.

    Wondering if there are some older folks here or if it's just young whippersnappers. :laugh:

    If you look further down the list of forums, Under group forums you find The Senior Golden Sneakers. Folks in this group are generally 55 and older but go up into the 80s, and 90s. We all want to stay healthy. There is an ongoing support thread, and other topics. You don't have to become part of this circle, but you might enjoy visiting and seeing if it fits.

    Under the main forum, Motivation and Support, there is a thread for women 55+ that is also very active.

    I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

    Wow! There are lots of us 60's out there. I'm 62 and loving it! Reinventing myself this year has been an adventure. Friend me if you want. I'm learning to eat right and am a newbie in the gym, especially the weights section.
