    "Youth is wasted on the young" (Oscar Wilde), but I think it's supposed to be that way. Anyway, everyday, you are as young as you are ever going to be.
    I miss my 20 year old body....but I don't miss my 20 year old mind haha

    edit: Just turned 50, feel kinda weird about about....kinda ambivalent too though.

    Today is my first day on this site and I really like what it has to offer....I'm looking for people around my age group....I just turned 50!!
    How does one add someone as a friend? Is it like Facebook where you ask first and then are excepted? Can someone explain the process to me?

    I'm 44. If I'd had any idea how adorable and healthy I was at 20, when I actually was 20, I think I wouldn't have ignored those aspects of myself at that time. (Does that sentence make any sense?) I certainly didn't find any value in myself back then.

    49 here - joined Nov 2011 with the goal of wearing a two-piece by my 50th birthday! Just over a year later, I've been at maintenance since Sept 2012 and am in the best shape of my entire life! (Thanks Jillian Michaels :smile: ) Bought the two-piece - just have to get the courage to wear it as I have NEVER worn one! I believe you can achieve anything you want regardless of how old or young you are! Please feel free to add me. The site has been the difference for me!

    Hi I am new as well and I am almost 62. I have a goal of losing the 15 pounds that I have gained since I hurt my knee skiing. I also just want to be in better shape. I am a very active hike, kayak, ski, golf etc and want to stay that way. Fitness Pal has helped so much this first week by making me more aware of what I eat how much exercise I am getting. I love this site! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I am 55, have been on MFP a couple months, was just going to use it to track my food, but now see how helpful it would be to get/give encouragement. It is a lot harder to lose the weight as you get older. I lost 10 pounds before starting MFP and only 5 lbs. since. Still working on finding the "magic" number of cal. to lose weight. I have had some health issues the last two years, take meds, gained 35 lbs. crazy hormones! I STILL believe, that I can and will lose the weight. No excuses here :) I am very active... have been all my life. Would love some like minded friends :)

    Hi everyone:flowerforyou: I'm Sherrylyn, age 60 and a newly retired school teacher. I'm looking for female friends around my age who remember what their slender body was like for most of their life. So if you've gained 10-30 lbs in the last 10-20 years, friend me and leave a message. Thanks!
