Someone shared this link the other day. Not all of these people are 50 or over, but some are, and they are all at least over 40.

As to calories, I think that will depend on your mom's current weight, and how much she's trying to lose per week. I eat around 1400 or so per day, but I have just under 100 lbs to lose (I'm down 16 lbs, 9 of them since I started here @ MFP about 3 weeks ago) and I'm aiming at 1.5 lb/wk or so. Oh, and I'm 50.

I'm 51 and have lost about 12 pounds in two months on mfp, and about 8 pounds in the six months before that. So twenty total. I have a graph and I can see that while my weight loss was slow, and bounced up and down before mfp, now it is a steady drop of a pound a week or a little more. When I workout, I eat my calories but not all of them every time. I let my hunger guide that part of it. But with no exercise, I get 1240 calories a day. It hasn't been that hard for me. I have a small breakfast, a small lunch, a 3 pm healthy snack, and a pretty good supper (500-700 cals). You could help your mom do the calculations on mfp, and then she could just write her calories down instead of logging in. I wish her well! She can do it!

I am 50 and been on mfp for almost 2 most. I have lost 24 pounds so far.I lost 125 pounds 6 years ago but gained 60 of it back. So I have almost lost half of it. Its been harder this time but it can be done. Its one pound at a time. If she wants to befriend me she is more then welcome. good luck to her!
