Hi, I am 59 yrs old and have exactly 50lbs to lose. I have been on this site for awhile and I have lost almost 60lbs since January of last year. I have alot of struggles with the carbs. I exercise 5 days a week. I would like some support or should I say more support than I have at the moment. I am interested in a small group of ladies in this age group.

I might be one of the older ones here. I'm 66 and need to lose 35 lbs to keep from ruining my totally replaced knees. I'm doing great so far even though it is hard to exercise. Good luck to you. I hope to meet my goal by May 1 st.

59 years old, probably have another 40 pounds to lose. Unfortunately, although I've been consistent with sticking to my plan (other than getting enough exercise), I keep gaining and losing the same 2-3 pounds. Gah! I'm so tired of it!

duesterj

Yes, please! Just joined, 52, and trying to figure out where to start. Losing 50 pounds would be perfect!

Your topic described me 6 months ago. So my reason for posting is to offer encouragement and let you know it can be done.

Log everything you eat
Don't eat back all the calories if you use MFP to calculate exercise calories
Understand the loss wont be linear and you will have bad days.

If you want to add me as a friend for encouragement feel free to do so.

I'll be 60 this year, and looking to lose up to 70 pounds. However, I don't know how practical that is due to having worked out, somewhat regularly, over the years. About 10 years ago I lost roughly 40 plus pounds then gained it all back. My pitfalls were stress and time related to work, ;and, of course, the bad eating habits that went on to support them. I made a strategic decision last year to go for life and health over money / work, and retired. I now have the time and have been going to gym regularly and finding other outdoor activities while trying to stay off my *kitten*. I have also been focusing on good nutrition, which I find to be so much easier now that I'm retired. Honestly, at this point, roughly 7 months later, I am feeling good about everything. I have seen some decent fat loss and now need to reassess and fully implement a plan. It took 30 years to get where I am today, so I'm not looking to undo things in a few months, maybe not even a year. Key for me will be lifestyle change, learning a lot more about proper nutrition, and finding activities that keep me out of the chair. I know I can do it. I just need to keep adjusting my accelerator downwards from prior career to where I am truly living in the moment, living each minute / hour of today instead of thinking about what is happening later today, tomorrow, or in the future (certainly not dwelling on the past). Obviously, I need to spend some time planning the future, reviewing to learn from past, but that time should be minimal compared to time spend living today. So for me, not all about losing weight, but doing what is needed to gain back life.

Hi, I'm 52 and need to loose 80 lbs. My health is good at the moment, but my numbers are inching up. So my future depends on me loosing this weight. I drive over the road a couple of weeks a month, work on paper work on and off and just seem to do alot of busy work for our ventures. My struggle is eating right when I drive for long periods, and preparing properly when I'm home. I've noticed that excersise can sometimes make me dizzy and sick feeling. Friends would be nice so we can help each other stay on track.

I am almost 56, and have been on this journey too many times in my life. I would love to be in a +50 group. I want to get healthy and start living without thinking about my weight every day for the rest of my life !!!

wiebelnancy

I will be 50 on Valentines Day!! Still have about 30 pounds to lose. Would love support system!!

wanabefitter

50 at 50, I like it, great idea, i am 50 ( hurts saying that) and yes loosing 50lbs would be about right.

Support group would be great, not sure of the process, but I would be happy to be friended!

I'm 58 .. I've been too heavy for 20+ years. I've lost and gained it all several times. I have lots of excuses ( I'm too busy to exercise, I'm too tired, I am not the cook in the house, I... ) I am now tired of all my "I" excuses and am looking to make some "I" changes. I can enjoy my husband's wonderful cooking without doing harm to myself, I have no good reason for sitting on my butt all day long.

I feel very empowered this time around - it doesn't seem like near the chore it has in the past. I'm not all the way off the couch yet but I'm working at it.

My goal is to lose that 50+lbs by the end of June - ambitious goal but I believe it's doable. I would be happy to be friended.

I turned 50 in December. After a 21 year married and divorced, I finally met someone important. I have been dating him for 3 years. Since the 3 years, I have probably gained about 30 pounds ugh. comfort dating weight? or what do you call it. Need some great ideas to get motivated. We are talking marriage, think that would do it. But it makes me sad to think that I would have to purchase a size 16 if I do marry this man now. I was size 7 when I was married the first time. I am not naive, to think I would be that small again. But would welcome and love to be a size 11 again!

Not quite 50 (will be 48 this year), but my hubby turns 50 this year so we are looking to lose the weight together. I have 70 lbs to lose. Please friend me, if you'd like. I am always looking for supportive people to help me with my goals. We can do this!

DaniH826

I'm 45-1/2 (is that close enough?) and my goal is to drop about 25-30 pounds, but most importantly, to remain active and independent. I think about the golden years ahead, and I have every intention of going down swinging, so I'm trying to make adjustments now and adopt good habits.

Here for encouragement, support, and somebody to vent to if you need it. Feel free to friend me.
