    Hi - I'm 52 - need to lose 45 - 50 pounds...I also need help in the motivation department. I went for a hike yesterday and thought I may die on the trail - but thankfully I lived to drag my fat butt off the trail and got back home :bigsmile: If you want to help each other out, please count me in !

    Beefoutz - we are in the same boat, weight, goal and age. I am 47 years old with a goal of 77 pounds to lose. Don't know if you have done any research regarding a correlation between weight loss in women and age (i.e. peri-menopause, menopause, decrease in metabolism, etc.). What have seen so far shows no correlation, however, I still see references to a connection - all confusing.

    Check out my profile - friend me if you want!

    Hi! My name is Tracy. I began my diet on August 20th and found MFP two weeks ago.so far I have lost 11.5 pounds. I am 49 years old and have 53-60 pounds more to go. Do you find that it is harder as you have gotten older, to lose weight? I definitely have. I am on the South Beach Diet. I would love to be your friend:)

    I am 53 and need to lose 80 lbs... It is harder to lose as we age. It takes more focus, and it is a mental battle as well as a food battle. I am finally ready for the fight...lol...

    Hello! :smile:

    Well, I'm not quite at the big Five-O yet, but not too far off it (I'll be 48 in few weeks' time).

    I am really hoping I can sort out this weight problem before I hit my next decade, but my track record so far has not been great! :ohwell: However, I have come across some very successful mature slimmers since I joined MFP, and they have inspired me to keep trying.

    I am aiming to lose about 60lbs, although I think strictly speaking it should be slightly more to get to my ideal weight.

    I'm definitely finding it more difficult to lose weight now, compared with when I was younger. But the support on here is amazing!

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you like :flowerforyou:
