Any 50 somethings out there

I am 51 almost 52! I have tried weight watchers a few years ago but have put more weight on in last few years
Hoping that if I track my food I will be more aware of my overeating patterns and will eat less! I do think losing weight is harder after 40 but not impossible. I just signed up today on my kindle and I do not have a profile yet but will get one up soon.Well here is to fabulous fifties !

Hi I'm 55 and just joined today.....I had life altering events a couple of yrs ago and became sedentary. I saw MFP on the Today show and it motivated me....I've moved more today than I have in months, Email me anytime....I need support too!

Just turned 60, but I feel like I'm still 50 something. LOL!

Just joined today and would like to meet others in this age range to support and visa versa.

I hate writing the foods I eat down-so maybe this way will be fun....Here's to all us Loser's!!!!!

Hi! I'm 51 and started my journey in February 2012. Lost 65 pounds so far. I'm about 10-20 pounds from goal. You can add me if you'd like. I'm on here everyday. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

I'm 56, and I've been an on again off again dieter for 30 years. In November I had my blood work done and I found out that I'm pre-diebetic. No more excuses for me. This is serious. I have a husband who is slim and loves to eat so it's going to hard but I'm determined. We can all do it with each others help. My goal is 60 lbs gone in one year!

Lots of first starters here - I am 55.5 - gained 100# over 33 years and 2 kids - now have 2 grand babies and want to be ready to be a fit grandma.....Jan.1, 2007 weighed 232....on my own with a calorie book and treadmill I weighed 182 on July 1, 2007....kept that weight off, but in September thought I best lose at least 40 of the 50 extra lbs.....so, currently down 18, but always need motivation....I am a cheerleader as well - this site so excited me I headed to FB to share....got to gals who had given up to join and got them on the road to losing....fell free to add me! Best of luck, my dear!

HI! me too. I was 50 in 2012. My sister did really great on MFP over last couple of years. I joined and was halfhearted - want to be full-hearted now. looking for friends to keep me going.

Hello and welcome back to mfp. I will be 50 this year and also have a fitbit on my side. Feel free to add me if you would like.

:flowerforyou: Feel free to add me............................I've been on this journey since September 2012..............still lots more to loose....

Joining myfitnesspal today. Just started the Shred diet and this sure makes it so easy to keep track of Meals, snacks and exercises. On day 2 and lost 2 lbs so far. Not use to paying attention to what I have been eating until now.
:drinker:

Hey everybody my names Mickey, 23 year old pharmacy student. Pretty athletic always been like that. My senior year of HS I was 6'1 and 125 lbs. Yea I was really skinny but I was pretty cut and people would always tell me to get bigger or make fun saying 'Mickey Mouse" lol. Didn't get into lifting until my sophomore year of college, this is where I shot up to 160 lbs. Only did it because I was a basketball player, still am sometimes! Kept lifting but did not have the fundamentals. I would be able to eat anything I wanted and not get fat. Now I am a little bit more knowledgeable and know how to train properly. Currently I am 6'1 and 195 lbs. I think from what the online calculators tell me I am around 18-20% bf. I would now like to cut and hoping to get down to 180 lbs or so to become more leaner. This is why I have joined here. I will be following the if it fits your macros diet (IIFYM). This is the first time I am ever dieting lol. I believe in lifting heavy weights to get bigger and gaining muscle. I split my days into different muscle groups training 1 muscle group a day excluding arms (bi's and tri's lol). My staple exercises are the incline bench, the awesome deep squat, and the great deadlift!! Currently I do 200 lbs for 7 sets of 4 on incline bench, 7 sets of 315 for squat, and 7 sets of 4 at 350 for deadlifts. I am hoping I dont lose muscle during this cutting so I can preserve my strength. I apologize for this run on paragraph lol but I am just too excited lol

Well...I am a bit more than 50. I will be 68 in February. I am also a newbie to MFP, having just joined today; but I feel like I am just beginning my life. I have the goal to lose 70 pounds which is what my surgeon requires, before I can have surgery to get both my knees replaced. Degenerative arthritis and years of carrying my weight have left me dependent on a walker at home and wheelchair every place else. This weight loss and surgery will help me to a better life in the future.

I started my food plan in mid-November (weighing more than 270) and have already lost 19 pounds. I am working with my doctor to keep me on track, but I am pretty much sedentary for now.

I just found this website today and love it!! I'll be 57 tomorrow. Ugh, another birthday and have to lose weight, especially after the holidays. The boyfriend and I love to go salsa dancing, it's one way to burn the carbs. Anyone else love to dance?
