    I'm 52 - and wanting to get down to a BMI of 20 by my 53rd birthday in a few weeks. I lost 22 lbs last summer, and am now ready for the final push to lose another 8lbs. I've found fasting (the Dr Michael Mosley approach) two or three days a week the most successful method as it breaks the desperate conviction that you need to eat, so you eat less all round and feel more in control.

    41 here. Trying to lose about 20 - 25 pounds. There's a trick to it... hard work. This site, and the iPhone app really make it easy to stay motivated. Best of luck to all of us!

    Hi, I'm 52 & have 60 lbs to lose. Don't have much support here (very, very rural) but would like to build an online community of friends.

    I'm fifty-one. I Lost my weight and now i'm just maintaining my healthy lifestyle.

    Questions: How long did it take? What was your food regimen? What was your exercise routine?

    Congrats on achieving/maintaining!!!

    Hi Brooke,
    I have a relatively descriptive profile that includes information about my diet and exercise routine. There are other approaches you can use if mine isn't a fit, but the bottom line is that it is all about consistency and patience.

    Hello, Looks like there are quite a few of us! I'm 48 and have about 75 lbs. to lose. So much harder the older we get, isn't it? I have a good feeling about MFP, though. I've been doing it for about 6 weeks now which is probably the longest I've stuck to any system. Feel free to friend me--always good to have support. :smile:

    Hi, I'm 51, 193 cm and currently 105 kg male, since quitting smoking 3 yrs ago I have gradually been gaining kgs, I've been regularly bike riding for at least 18 months but need to step it up as I am losing tone in my body....... legs are great.

    I've been struggling to keep motivated. I've been using MFP for a while and find the recording of foods a great way to monitor calories it builds awareness / consciousness of everything you eat.

    Thought maybe I should meet a few other people that are struggling the same and share the pain......
