    Hi to everyone...I am 66 and lost 55 lbs in 2013 and now have gained 8lbs back ( I mean lost and regained these 8 lbs about 6 times in 2014). I have been a yo yo dieter for years....but no more.. This time I am sticking to it and determined to lose these 8Lbs and 20 more!!! I go to curves 5 x week and get weighed there monthly so that has really helped me to be accountable.
    Let's all go for it and this is OUR TIME to be our best ever.

    One thing Curves taught me that has really helped me is that I have to eat every 3 hours to keep my "slow" metaabolism burning. So ya gotta watch the calories but ya gotta eat to burn those calories. Good luck.

    Hi there,

    I'm 53, 64 kg ( 141lb) and aiming to get back to 58 (127) . Christmas sounds like a great time frame. That's 6 kg in 4 months or 1.5 kg a month. Should be doable. I used MFP very successfully about 2 years ago , job change ( sitting much of the day now and doing longer hours) life and the lolly isle got in the way. Back to planned meals and snacks . Wonderful to find you ladies and travel the journey with you .

    I will be going on the wt loss journey too...so lets keep tabs on each other. Lost 55# in 2013..gained 8# back in 2014 and goal is to lose 28 lbs and reach my goal of 160 lbs. Have not set a goal date yet but am going to keep logging food and exercise on MFP until I reach my goal.

    Hi - Feel free to add me. I totally understand the "over 50" challenge. Just when you want to slow down a bit you discover you need to do so much more of the good things (log food, exercise) that you used to do before just to get back to where you were.

    So glad I found this thread of conversation! I'm 58 and while I only have 20 or so stubborn pounds I want to lose I am also dealing with painful arthritis issues. I work out to strengthen my muscles and take strain off painful hip and back joints and monitor my nutrition to help me lose a few pounds and ensure I'm getting the proper nutrients I need to prevent the arthritis from getting worse! I'm just getting myself set up on MFP and looking for people to share the journey with! Look forward to getting to know some of you more!

    58 here. Have lost about 58# in the last 7 months, and looking to lose 50-55 more. Loss is going slower now and I need some inspiration/encouragement.

    Hi everyone! I'm 49 (50 in October) and am trying to loose about 10 more lbs. I've found that at this age, all those little bad eating habits are coming back to haunt me. I can't be as careless as I used to be and MFP has been really helpful. Feel free to add me as a friend.
