    Hi , I am almost 49. I have struggled with losing weight for the last five years with no results. I gain the same 20 pounds back and forth. I went to the Dr. this week to have all blood work done and see if I can figure out why I can not lose weight. Age, I'm sure. Eating habits doesn't seem to affect gaining or losing. I eat very healthy most of the time anyway. I am trying a prescription diet pill because I feel like I've just been beating my head up against a wall. Will post weekly what I lose. I am trying to follow a 1200 calorie diet but for me eating three meals and two snacks a day is very hard. Can't find time to eat that many times. I am trying really hard right now and go back to Dr. in month to see if pills are helping. Good luck and hang in there.

    A bit older than that! almost 60, It's amazing how as you get older the weight doesn't fall off as easy! I am new to myfitnesspal, need to get motivated and moving.

    51 here about to turn 52 woohoo!!! Loving it!!! I've been using this program since January of this year and it has really really helped me, not losing as fast now but I am finally 24 lbs from my goal weight so expected that. I have had tremendous support on here that has helped me stay focused. Add me as friend will be glad to encourage and support you.
