I'm over 65 (just barely) and I've lost 100 pounds since May 2011. If there's anything I can do let me know. The only advise I can give you is stick with it, measure your food and don't listen to those around you who are pessimistic and tell you you don't need to lose any, they love you just like you are and you won't be able to do it anyway. If you should slip up, get up the next day and start over. Just don't compound the problem by eating more and thinking it doesn't matter. I gained 10 pounds over the last 6 weeks from traveling, eating out and straying off the path. In the last week or so I have lost 7 of those pounds. You can do anything if you don't give up. Do like I did and show them you can.0

I like your attitude! All good advice! :flowerforyou:0

Hi my name is Jill, I am 46 also. I have about 40 to 50 pounds to loose. I also have spent a good portion of my adult life trying to loose weight. I hoping we could be friends and support each other on the journey.0

Hi! I just joined MFP, am over 55 and need to lose 40 pounds. Nice to know there are others...
My difficulty is in tracking food in - usually exercise 3-4 times per week. I routinely walk on the treadmill, swim, water aerobics and kayaking.
Let's keep each other motivated!
Glad I found this group.0 -

Well I wish I were in the same boat as you ladies but I am only 48 and I need to lose between 142 and 178 pounds. I have waited all these years to really get serious about this and now my health is gone and I do need encouragement and friends who are going through this too. I am really ashamed of myself for going all this time without thinking of what this weight would do to my health. Please keep me in your prayers as I start this journey and I hope to make many new friends here as well. You all are in my prayers! P.S. I will post a photo soon.0

51, already taking hormones, get practically no exercise! I spent the last year eating everything I wanted apparently. I was using weight ignorance as an excuse, never got on the scale. I went to the doctor for a checkup, got on the scale and was crying by the time the doc walked in. I decided that day that I was going to lose the weight now because it only gets harder the older we get. I input EVERYTHING, count every single calorie. Sticking to it will work! Only 38-40 lbs to go. I don't weigh every day, I think that can be a little discouraging. Twice a week on the scale is good.0

hi, I am 51 and weigh 180, hoping to get back down to 135. Like you, I started here months ago, but never kept up with it! Giving it another try today!

Over 50 and much more than 30 to lose but I am on the way!0

Im 49, and already lost 39lbs, but I still have at least another 30lbs to go. Feel free to add.0

I have about 110 pounds to lose [I'm 32]. I try to keep myself motivated by remembering that although 110 pounds feels so far away, time will still continue to tick away. I can spend those moments making healthy choices that culminate in me losing those pounds [hopefully most of it by next summer], or I can pysche myself out by focusing on the entire amount and end up in the same place next year that I am now. Cheesy by true: we need to take it one day at a time! :-) Glad you're on MFP!0

Good for you! Trying once is admirable, but to pick yourself back up and try again is wonderful!
I'm at least 65 pounds overweight, but that's if you go by my new ideal and not what I was in my twenties. I had lost 50 pounds over several years, but I've gained half that back thanks to a new husband who is a VERY good cook. He's finally realized that we are both getting unhealthy by the extra weight and that we will age a whole lot faster if we do nothing about it, so when our church started a weight maintanance program, we were ready. We went to the first meeting last night and started today. So far, so good!
Anyway, I'd love to offer you encouragement, and I'd ask for yours too. Even the smallest change is a step forward, and even if you only take one extra step each day, it is progress!
Take care, dear one. I look forward to getting to know you...
