    I am a 60 year old female who is here every day to give and receive support. I am accepting friends who will eat at least 1200 calories per day, log in daily unless impossible and have an open food diary. . If you are still interested in being my friend please let me know! Thanks/Cindy

    I'm 66 have lost 100 pounds and work out 6 days a week in addition to playing tennis, bike riding, and a few hoops pick up games.
    I don't believe age has much to do with it. It's how bad you want it. Being healthy makes me happy.

    I am 54 and lost 46 pounds in 2012. I use the "over 10k steps a day" and yoga/Barre3 as my exercise, but am interviewing PT 's who use pilates/yoga/Barre to get people to the next level. I log my calories every day and weigh every day. I drink 8 glasses of water at least now. I am 5'8" and weigh 128 pounds now.

    I'm 56, been working at losing weight and improving my fitness since the turn of the year. I can now run 9 min miles, down from 12 min/mile in Jan and I am 3 lbs away from moving to overweight. My longest run so far is 5 miles and I do indoor cardio and resistance training regularly. I really didn't believe I could ever be this fit again and I feel great.

    56 years old, currently 233...aiming for 145. Bought the Paleo Diet book this weekend, I have to eat gluten free, so thought the Paleo diet would be worth a try.

    I'm gluten-free as well and feel great on a no-grain diet. I hope you do too. Good luck!
