I'm 53. My sister is on the site and she's 55; she lost >150 pounds in her fifties. My mother is here somewhere too. She's 78 and she lost 35 pounds in the last couple of years (on purpose...diet & exercise). So it can be done!
I'm in Pennsylvania USA0 -
Will be 50 here in December please feel free to add me :-)0

59 here. Add me if you wish. I"ve been slowly losing weight and working on exercise -- but right now my focus is on controlling type 2 diabetes.
Lots of over 50s here, along with support and good advice?,0 -
I am 57. I started this in June and have been very pleased. The whole emphasis by most folks here on making changes that you can continue to live with for the rest of your life is exactly what I need. I have been trying the "eat more to weigh less" approach for the last few weeks and it is working well for me so far. Feel free to add me. I, too, am looking for a few more active and supportive friends and enjoy being the same for others.0

Greetings from another 50+ MFP -- I turned 56 2 weeks ago. I joined MFP last February but didn't start using it consistently until a few weeks ago. I'm pretty close to where I want to be weight-wise, and I am finding MFP a really great tool for learning how to maintain. I think it IS possible to teach an old dog new tricks, and I'm determined to keep the weight off for good! No more yo yo-ing for me!
I'd also love to have more MFP friends - the mutual encouragement is really great - so felllow 50 plus-ers feel free to add me! :happy:0 -

I'm 55 soon to be 56 and I would love new friends. I lost about 40 pounds on WW and then tried MFP from April-July and decided I would go back to WW...well you can see where I am...right back here where there is so much support. I would love other friends who are on this life-long journey. I may not always stay on the right road but eventually I get back to where I am suppose to be with the help of my friends.
Anyone who wants to add me as a friend feel free!
Take care,
Debi0 -

Yet another one...from Canada here. I had lost 64 pounds, then sustained a concussion and regained about half of it due to both being immobile and giving up my good eating habits. I'm going to finish it for good this time. My diaries are open to friends.0

51 here, but feel 17 due to huge changes in lifestyle. Feel free to add if you like.0

Hi! I'm 58 and from Oz (otherwise known as Kansas). I just started using my new Fitbit this week and so far really like it. I am in this for the long haul so I am taking it slow and steady - lost 30 lbs in about 5 months with many more to go.
Regarding Oz - a tornado destroyed my childhood home when I was 11. We didn't have a basement and were caught with little time, so we huddled on the kitchen floor. The house was picked up and moved off its foundation several feet. Everyone was unharmed!0 -
Hello and welcome Lynley
I'm definitely thinking the mid-50's+ are the 'new 40's'! (or maybe new 20's? :-)
I'm 56! (FL) and growing younger every day!
I may be getting older (and sicker) but I refuse to grow up or give up!
Hey dsprofitt, I'm a scuba diver as well - you are spot-on about the benefits, it is SUCH a peaceful hobby and very good for one's body!0
