    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:

    I joined MFP on Aug 27, 2012 which was my 49th birthday with the goal to lose 73 by my 50th. One month in and 12 pounds gone. I feel so much better already. I have surrounded myself with women around my age that are succeeding in losing and keeping off a larger amount of weight. (40-50+ lbs). Any ladies who are serious about making a life change, feel free to friend me and I will introduce you to an awesome group of ladies that are proving that it can be done!

    Hi! I'm 40-something and fabulous! Ok, late 40s, but who's counting, right? :smile:

    My goal is to lose 20 pounds and any motiviation is welcome. I tore my knee teaching Zumba (a wonderful weight loss exercise program, by the way) and had surgery to repair. Since then, I've gained 19 pounds being inactive. Ugh. Now I'm back in the gym and working my way back to a thinner me.

    We can do this!
