    I'm over 65 (just barely) and I've lost 100 pounds since May 2011. If there's anything I can do let me know. The only advise I can give you is stick with it, measure your food and don't listen to those around you who are pessimistic and tell you you don't need to lose any, they love you just like you are and you won't be able to do it anyway. If you should slip up, get up the next day and start over. Just don't compound the problem by eating more and thinking it doesn't matter. I gained 10 pounds over the last 6 weeks from traveling, eating out and straying off the path. In the last week or so I have lost 7 of those pounds. You can do anything if you don't give up. Do like I did and show them you can.

    Hi! I just joined MFP, am over 55 and need to lose 40 pounds. Nice to know there are others...

    My difficulty is in tracking food in - usually exercise 3-4 times per week. I routinely walk on the treadmill, swim, water aerobics and kayaking.

    Let's keep each other motivated!

    Glad I found this group.
