    Hi, I am 51 and have been trying to lose about 35 lbs for the last 3 or so years. Nothing is working. I thought that counting calories would be the ticket for me, but, so far, I haven't lost a single pound. Same old, same old.

    I am 53 yrs. old and have been trying for a year to loose some weight. This year I made a goal that I was going to get to my desired weight. 60 lbs to loose before my birthday in July I have already lost 5 lbs, but I am not counting on that to stay that way cause it seems like I loose then I gain it back, hoping this helps me and gives me the encouragement to keep going. Today is better than yesterday! Zumba my new best friend and just walking which I love to do.
    I do have a question for all you Yogurt lovers, I can't stand the after taste, any ideas to help this taste?
    I wish I liked it!
    I eat Greek Yoghurt and put in a spoonful of honey :-D

    Hello! I'm 51. Started MFP Jan. 2012. Have lost 25 lbs. Have stalled. I believe (no...I KNOW) I have hurt my metabolism and am now in the process of trying to get that straightened out before I can continue on (need to lose another 30).

    Any one, please feel free to add me:)

    Today is my last day at 46. I will be 47 tomorrow and I am in the best shape I have been in since my high school days. I joined MFP in November 2012. This place is great and I have some wonderful friends that log on everyday to help and give encouragement. You can do this. We are all in this together.

    Yes! About to turn 41 in 1 month! My goal is to lose 35 lbs by the end of the year...being very realistic with myself. It's a challenge but I am praying I reach my goal. If I can't do this in 11 months, SHAME ON ME!:embarassed:
