in Introduce Yourself
I just started last week, my daughter actually got me going on the site. I am a former WW member & have also done TOPS. I REALLY love MFP & wonder are there any others in their 50s who would like to help each other?

    Doesn't seem to be as many of us over 50 as there are those in their 20's and 30's, but there is still a good number.

    That's okay, I guess it's not for everyone. How long have you been working at this & what do you enjoy for exercise?

    I'm 55 and am currently maintaining my weight loss. If there is any way that I can help or encourage you, just send me a message. I don't generally comment on individual friend's posts (because I have way too many to be able to do that), but I do make the effort to answer messages - at least within a few days! LOL

    i am 49, close enough ? I started MFP july 2010 and have lost 105lbs . I hit my original goal of 100 lbs lost after 21 mths. I love MFP and would not have lost the weight without it. More important then the weight is my health. My favorite exercises are walking and bike riding

    Right now am rehabbing knee and ankle so just getting back to walking - but do lift (low) weights and use resistance bands for upper body - also working on abs....all at home. Hope to be back in a pool swimming sometime soon.

    You're on the "leading edge" of the 50s, and I'm on the trailing edge, at 58. I'll send you a friend request.

    Good luck, and have a great time!

    I'm 59:) and I will send you a friend request. You will love MFP. My suggestion is to look at the before and afters and get with some of the gals and guys that have been at this awhile:) Lots of success stories here and tons of support:)

    Hi! I'm 58. Just started Last Sat. with three others from work. I do like MFP as well. My favorite exercise is kettle bell. I've been doing it for about 7 months and it is a great work out. 30 min. of both cardio and strength.

    I'm 50 and just re-starting. I love to walk especially with my husband and dogs. I also like to run when it's cooler and love kettlebells. I good about getting exercise, but have to pay a lot more attention to what I eat.

    Welcome :)

    52 here (till Aug) and former WW member, just passed the 30 day mark on MFP and currently, no not exercising (did just p/u a kettlebell, jump rope & ordered a hula hoop), have to wait a bit till I get under my treadmill's weight limit.

    Like with WW, daily tracking will be your new best friend.

    Look for the thread "Women ages 50+" and you'll see a bunch. The group was setting goals for July a couple minutes ago...
