    I'm 53 and have gained and lost the same 30 pounds half a dozen times over the last 5 years. Now I am 33 down and plan to continue to lose 17 more by New Year's. For me it's all about the planning. I often log my meals ahead of time ( including my treats or meals out) to make me more accountable. Yes,I sometimes slip up and used to let that get me off track, but I am really trying this time!

    I love reading about everyone's successes.

    Add me if you like.

    I'm over 50 with 50+ lbs to lose. I joined MFP in May 2012 but never came back. It took all summer to get my head in the right place. After working on my head and heart with a professional I returned to MFP on Oct.1. Now I'm motivated. MFP is VERY helpful. Also helpful is Gold's Gym and my personal trainer. And I'm still talking to my Life Coach every week. I would love to connect with other over 50 women on MFP.

    Would like to just wake up in the morning and find it all gone ha ha. Hard to stick to it all the time and results just take longer to happen the older we get but the motivation to look and feel good is still the same!

    Congratulations for making the step back into a healthier life! I am so proud of you. What are you doing to control your nutrition? I too made the decision to get back to taking care of myself seriously in September and keep track of my calories, go to a trainer, walk and work out at home. Whoemever said you can't lose weight after 50 are crazy. Looking forward to hearing about your activities and success.
