    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!

    Hi my name is Barb. I am 54, turning 55 in a month and a half. I've lost 13 pounds since starting MFP on Aug 11 and have just a few more pounds of fat loss left. My new goal is to get moving and weight training! Please send me a friend request if you like. And yes, it has been harder to lose weight since turning 50!

    HI, I am 55 years old and would like to lose 40 pounds by the end of December. I have motivation and I need to lose my last bad habit of eating snacks in the middle of my sleep. I am awake but it is a horrible habit. My mother had it too and she was very heavy. I really need to lose 40-50. Let us all go way outside of our comfort zone. I am committing on here not to do the nocturnal eating as of today. I will try to post in a journal every day I accomplish this. You guys are great!!!

    Hi I am 59 years old. I need to loose about 50-60 lbs . I am new to MFP. I really like it, now I need some friends so we can help each other along our weight loss journey. :)
    I have done weight watchers in the past, quit because of the economy (at least that is what I told myself) it took me two years to gain it all back, but what I do know is having friends makes a huge difference, in loosing weight. So add me if you think we can help each other!

    Disclaimer - I may be 48, but my wife still says I should be acting my age and not my shoe size. :sad:
