I have been here for about a month and have lost and regained - really struggling and I'm thinking that some accountability to someone else may help. Also would like to know what's working for others my age. I'll be 51 next month - gasp!!!
Let me know if you'd like to be friends smile:

I’m not quite 50 yet but approaching, and have been struggling to lose even 10 lbs. I love carbs but just started a low carb meal plan- will keep you posted.0

I have been on here since Jan and only lost 7 lbs but I just keep plugging along. I am 53 and stuck! I am with leeverson about the Carb thing. Good luck. Feel free to friend me if you like. My diary is open.0

I'm 50 and will be 51 in October. Have joined MFP a couple of weeks ago and loving the accountability. I joined a group called Mile Challenge and did over 50 miles of activity last week alone. Accountability is the key. My husband and I are doing this together.0

55 here.... been with mfp for over a year, had a break over christmas and still trying to shift what i gained back... always nice to have a new friend0

I turn 50 real soon...in June, and yes it sure is a struggle. I too have started a low carb plan which has started to get that scale moving some in the right direction. I eat right and exercise most days, even a couple workouts a day often (spinning in the a.m., 20 min Firm workouts at lunch x 3 days per week, plus walking at night). Tracking on MFP does help keep me accountable.0

I feel your pain. I'll be 51 in August and I've always maintained my weight until about a year ago. I also had bunyon surgery 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to exercise before the surgery and another 12 weeks after. I look at myself in the mirror and ask how did I let myself get this way? I know part of it is that I'm not motivitated and exercising like I used to, part of it is pre-menopause, diet and lack of willpower.
I could use a friend as well.0 -
I am 52, have always done the yo-yo thing. Been on MFP for 1 month, really gotten serious the past 2 weeks. Boy do I feel the difference. Eating more veggies and fruit,(fresh, water). Eating less meat, which I have found I feel lighter Since the weather has gotten much warmer in GA I walk, actually making it a part of my daily activity. I feel good about this. I noticed you have lost quite a bit of weight, so you are on your way. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!0

I'm somewhat older....will be 60 this year. I've been overweight so much of my life, and I want to get rid of it! I want to do so many things that I can't now. I just started this yesterday, so we'll see what happens. I'm aiming for the low carb - high protein. That seems to fit my lifestyle better. Look forward to meeting people and seeing what we can do!0

I am in the late part of 40's in my life and really would like more friends here on My Fitness Pal. I know I can not do this on my own and being a people pleaser all of my life, I would'nt let my friends down. Weight loss sucks! and Exercise sucks even more when you have arthritis, but I am going to do it! Let's become fabulous 50's :drinker:0

I am happy to have you as a friend, I have only been doing MFP since March 18th. I need all the friends and support I can get, even though I am only 47.0
