    Just barely - I am 59, with my 60th birthday coming up in a few weeks. My birthday goal is to establish healthy, sustainable eating and exercise habits. If I do that (challenge enough!), the weight I want to lose will take care of itself.

    Feel free to add me. I've been on MFP for a while but active only the past month or so - and haven't been networking at all.

    And, no - you are certainly not alone!

    I'm 45. You can add me. Last year I lost 27 pounds but I gained some of it back so I'm back at it. I think this time I will just have to keep a lifestyle of watching what I eat. I still think I'd be happy with my weight but my mid section is my problem. I had two children but I was thin after I had them until recently so i know age makes a difference.

    I started about a month ago and I have a loooong way to go. I've lost 8 lbs so far. I'm in Florida, work full time and feel too tired to exercise. I need some motivation.

    I am 58 years old and it's harder to lose weight at this age. I am managing. I mostly walk for exercise.

    Hi I'm Patty and I'm 47. I started this journey on January 6th... It's now 8 months later and I've lost 87 pounds so far! I have about that much more to go to reach my goal, so I will be around for a long time to come! 8 months ago I was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure. I was on 4 different meds. I can happily report that I am off 3 of those 4 and hope to be totaly med free by January of 2013. I know all about those challenges that come with age! So please feel free to add me as a friend... I know you can do this! It takes time and focus, but there's a light at the end of that tunnel! Best of luck to you :)

    40, Texas. But I'm not into fluff and feathers and I certainly don't say they words "awesome burn" or "wtg", but I DO try to carry on a conversation and offer motivation/encouragement when motivation/encouragement is clearly needed.
