I am nearing 50 and would like to lose, at this moment, 50 more pounds. Anyone else out there my age with about the same weight to lose? We could call ourselves 50/50!!! Lets support each other through this, because we all know the older we get the harder it is to lose!

    I'm basically you, a year from now! I started my weight loss journey 10 months before my 50th and achieved my weight loss goal. It definitely took the sting out of turning 50. Getting better, stronger, and healthier is a great antidote for getting older!

    Though I'm now at my goal weight, I'd be happy to cheer you on as you pursue your goals. Send me a friend request if you like.

    You can do this!

    The big 50 is January for me. Hoping to reach my goal before then! Started with 30 extra pounds, have lost 11 of them so far.
    Good luck on your journey, you can do it!

    95 gone but still another good 50lb to go!!
    At 49 I had a BMI of 49 & did not want it to match at 50! Now I am 50 & feeling so much healthier I plan to go back to 49 next birthday.........
    Happy to cheer you on if I fit your group!

    LOL well I'm almost 52 and I lost 60 lbs.

    It costs nothing to read and listen to their interviews and its fun because they are real like you and I.

    (This is NOT about eating junk food! It's about learning to eat for you own lifestyle, vegan, organic, whatever)

    I am 73 and have lost 16 and a half in 9 weeks with 40 to goal-slow because of age and restricted exercise.I do go to pool 4-5 times a week and try to walk three a mile three or four times a week..I do feel much better with good eating habits so hope to keep moving along if only at a crawl pace.

    You guys make me feel that all things are possible.

    I'm 53, have lost 19 since May and have another 19 or so to go. Hit my first goal and realized there was more ahead of me that would be just as much work (ain't that the way of it).
