    I am 53 and have been here for over a year. I actually seem to be a counsel for some of those youngsters you mention.

    I have dropped over 55 lbs so far.

    You are welcome to friend me and if I can be of help or support I will.

    Good luck on your journey!

    Hi! I am just starting and I really need support to get going in the right direction. Once I set my mind to losing weight it is easy to stay on the diet! Just getting started is the tough part. I am 67 and I am ready to retire because we are so busy. I am a Pastor's wife and we have a lot to do for the Lord's work. I don't get much exercise because of being at the computer a lot a work. I read that sugar is bad for us and can give us a shorter life and age us with arthritis and CA. As we get older sweeter things taste better so another problem! Looking forward to seeing your results as well as mine! MNelson

    Hi

    They say every year is an accomplishment.....I am 61 ( and dyslexic enough to think I am 16 sometimes!) so you aren't the only
    "accomplished" lady out there!:love:

    I haven't got a photo posted yet, but would love it if you would want to write to me about our weight loss adventures.

    Thanks

    52 here. I think you see quite clearly that there are alot of people on MFP in any age group. I'm not here for improving my looks - just improving my health.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am 54, 5'9" and have lost 29 lbs so far in the 11 months I have been on MFP. I have lost 100s of pounds in my life and gained them all back with interest. This time, thanks to MFP, I have lost the weight the right way. The support and knowledge that I have gotten from this site has been fantastic. Even as a child, I hated physical activity and would rather curl up with a book than a barbell. Now I have a gym membership and a heart rate monitor and look forward to moving. It amazes me as much, or even more than it does my family.
    The very best of luck to all of you! If I can be of any help or if you need a cheerleader in your corner, feel free to add me. :wink:
    Cheryl
