    Hi there, I will be 61 in August. Where did those years go? And they never seem to slow down....anyone else agree with that one? Remember when in grade school we would look out the window and the time would just stand still? Not anymore. LOL

    Tsk...just as I suspected. Lol...I clicked on this just to see what "Older folks" would be.

    Ladies...and gents....NONE of you is what *I* would consider "older folks". I'm 40 and feel no older than 25 most days! :)

    I agree, older to me is anything over 80! At 50- 60 we are in the prime of our lives, at least my head still thinks so...!

    I'm 51 and have just managed to get down to the weight I was in my 20s and 30s - shame I can't get away with wearing clothes for someone about 25 years younger though!

    50 here. Does that make me an older folk? Not feeling it, but I guess I do fit the bill.

    yep! 50 this yr. I am post menopausal and have a neuromuscular disease. The weight struggle is harder as we get older, as well as menopausal. I have no doubt the 50 and overs could give some great help and support.

    Hi, I'm Nancy from Sonoma. I would really like to be your new friend. I am 67, but sure don't feel like 'old folks'. Work full time as nurse in busy hospital, and take care of my two adorable granddaughters - ages 6 months and 2.8 yrs - on my days off. I did not find true success here until I began logging everything I ate and every bit of activity. Now I have lost ten pounds.

    See you soon on my page !!! :)
    Love your pic, BTW !!!

    I will soon reach my 65th birthday! It is hard to believe. Guess most of the time we feel the same as when we were much younger. If I can just on track and get my mind, body and spirit in the right frame I hope to see a lot more years.
    Life is a journey, not a destination, right?

    In numbers only am I 63! I feel better now than I did at 40. Working out, eating right and making my doctor happy! :smile: I lost a 45 pounds first and then hit a plateau, but thanks to MFP I lost another 21 pounds and ready to lose another 20 for my goal. :bigsmile:

    I'm 65. I started 7 months ago and discovered that it can be done at this age. My wife and I both enjoy this journey. You can do it. MIZ...

    I guess I fall into the Older Folks category...although I don't feel old. I'll be 51 in November, just found out I am insulin resistant . I joined on the advice of my Endocrinologist, please feel free to add me I would love talking to people my age or in a similar situation!
