Hello all, you have made my afternoon. Really enjoyed reading all the posts. Thought I'd add my twopenneth and say;
I am 50, lost 3 stone over a couple of years which I am trying hard to keep off after a dodgy Christmas.
My profile contains a before and after. Though you may need to turn me sideways!
Keep up the good work.

You all are so inspiring and everyone looks so much younger!!! I am 5'4" and weigh 172 pounds. I will be 50 on October 28th. My goal is to lose 40 pounds by my 50th birthday (sooner if possible). This would mean losing 5 pounds per month to obtain my goal!! I think even I can do that much!! And if I lose it before my birthday, or if I can lose a little more than that, then whoo-hoo for me! Maybe at the end of October I will have my own pictures to post. Thanks for the inspiration!!

I have lost 40lbs so far. 52 this year. I had started prior to joining here. I find this REALLY helps and I have a fitbit tracker which I LOVE. Truly motivates me to get my butt in gear.
I am eating more wisely (most of the time!) and walking , exercising more. I walk A LOT in the good weather!
Being over 50 its certainly harder but not impossible!

GO GET EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mel!
I'm Joanne (55). I've yoyo-ed with the same 60 lbs most of my adult life.
The picture on the left was taken 7 years ago.
I'm now 40 pounds less, and altho I have wrinkles and flabby skin, I "feel" stronger and more "alive" than any other time in my life!
I may not look great on the outside, but maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle is worth so much more.
Blessings on your journey!
Jo

Joanne, you are beautiful. Your look wonderful and have the smile to go with it. Thanks for sharing!

Well, I'm soon to be 46 so I'm certainly not in the YOUNG category anymore. I'm close enough. Thought I'd share. I've lost 110 pounds and have completely changed my body.

Wow! You're stunning....amazing job!

Since I am way over 50 ... I'm 67 ... I guess I can share my success with you in this thread. I became serious about getting back into shape when I saw this first photo of myself. I began to walk and exercise on a regular basis. I found MFP on January 3rd. I have been going at it strong since then and have included clean eating ... for the most part ... and calorie counting to my efforts ... in addition to a lot of cardio, kettlebells, and now strength training. I do not really have a weight goal in mind. My goal is to be fit ... feel better, look better and get back into a smaller size of clothing. The first photo was prior to attending a roaring 20s party. I couldn't find anything to fit so I had to make something. I cringe when I look at this photo. The second photo was taken this past Monday, March 18, 2013. I haven't yet reached my goal size, but I know that I will sometime this year. It has been a great deal of fun and I feel sooooo much better! You can do it too! Never give up ... never accept defeat ... never let yourself get down ... no one can do this for you ... only you ... and you are the best!

I am 57 years young. I lost about 25 pounds and my joints are much happier. What helps me the most is walking about an hour a day.
