I am over 50 and trying to get this stubborn weight off. since I bought a new phone I am trying the calorie counter. I love the way it tracks it! My goal is to lose 25 pounds and go to my niece's wedding in the dress size I want! I also am reading a weight loss book each day. Wish me luck!

    Good luck. Remeber, there is no try, just do. You can lose the weight with determination and focus. Don't worry about losing 25 pounds, just lose one. After you do that you know you can lose one pound, so lose another to show that your in control. It is much easier to lose one pound than 25. Lose one pound, then just do it again. Keep at it and you'll be down 35, 45, even 50 pounds. Then you'll realize that you can control your weight and keep it off. Also, don't worry about losing a particular amount of weight, lose until you feel good and happy about your body. You will do it!! Add me as a 50+ friend if you wish.

    I'm over 50 too and lost over 50 lbs and you also need to workout 4 times a week. I started walking and doing TaeBo this will help lose inches too. Eat what you want but track it using my fitness pal food tab and then watch what happens when you add the workout sessions it's really cool to see. Good luck and you'll get that dress and look good too :)

    Hi, I just signed up tonight and am in the same boat... want to see 25 lbs off this body before I turn 61 in July so I can feel healthier. If you would like someone to walk this path with you maybe we'd be able to cheer each other on. I'd be happy to be your new friend. Think about 3.5 lbs a month is doable?

    I'm 51 and just joined this. I am trying to lose 15-20 lbs. and have no friends on here as of yet, so if any of you are interested, I'd welcome it. I live in Montana and so do all my workouts at home since the nearest gym is just too far to go to. I was looking for a thread of over 50s!
