Great to see some positive motivation from someone in the same boat!
Thanks for sharing your situation and for your encouragement.
You've made great progress!!

Hi I'll be 42 in march, a thyroid cancer survivor, and have a very hard time losing due to no thyroid. I'm a wife and mother of a teenager. I've been lifting weights with a trainer once a week and my clothes are getting looser even though the scale wont budge. Add me if you like.0

Hi I am 50 years of age. I am trying to loose weight with the 5:2 diet, just started this week with two fast days and I have to say I actually enjoyed it. I also joined a running club at the beginning of January and have gone from struggling to run for one minute to now being able to run for 10min.
I am hoping this time next year I will be a healthier and fitter person.0 -
I'm 45 and have lost 14 pounds on 4.5 weeks. Clean Eating, gluten free! It can be done!0

I'm 59, soon to be 60. Just had a hip replacement, so my activity is WAY down from what I planned. The good news is I managed to lose 14 lbs before surgery. I'd been getting to the gym at least once a week for strength training and treadmill or elliptical workout, and walking more in daily activities. Being stronger pre-surgery has helped my recovery. 2 weeks post-op for total hip replacement and I'm using a cane. Continuing physical therapy, and walking in the house until I can drive, but I have to take it slow because I tire easily this early and I don't want set-backs.
It's hard to keep down to 1200 calories because my husband who also uses MyFitnessPal can eat so many more calories than I can, and he tends to give me the same portions he eats, while telling me they're smaller. He cooks, so I have to try to get him to make salads for me (He won't eat vegetables at all).
I could just start refusing to eat stuff.
Anyone 55 or older trying to lose weight, feel free to add me. I'd prefer to have a support group my age for encouragement. I'm getting discouraged over reading about these 20-somethings running 10 miles and burning 600 calories in half an hour.0 -
I am 50 in six month time, struggling with my weight for the last 12 years, since I have a family and aren’t able to exercise as before, keeping the weight off is a tall order in our age, I am glad to know I am not alone0

I'm 40, 41 next month. Getting used to being in this bracket these days
I've lost 2 stone over the last 6-8 months. Age is not a barrier! My results are ok, I've seen stuff you wouldnt believe from 60+ 70+ people. dont think about age. In fact, keeping active as you age is a great thing.0 -
I am 51 and just started Fitness Pal two days ago with my nutritionist. I am reading about all of your success and that is terrific!0

Just turned 53 this week - lost my excess weight in the last year but still pushing fitness and strength targets.
100 push-up challenge and 100 mile cycle are two of my targets for this year.

I am 57. Just started trying to lose weight a couple of weeks ago, though. Sort of a beginner, I guess.0
