    I am 41 and work full time as a night nurse. You would think that all the running around would keep us all slim, but we eat at weird times on night shift, I would like to lose 10 lbs...

    Well there are a lot of us!! Scanning down the photos I'd say we're all looking good for our ages too!!! Or maybe perspective just changes? lol!

    Anyway, I'm 46 and looking to lose 40lbs. this year. I'm tired of living in this body I don't recognize. Sometimes I think I am trapped forever but the success stories on this site give me so much hope and inspiration!

    Best wishes to everyone here!

    I'll be 44 in June. Feel free to add me. MFP is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Read my blog if you're interested in how I'm losing weight. Everyone does it differently. But on my old body, my method seems to be working. :)

    I am 52 - was doing so well getting fit and losing weight last year until a health issue set me back. I am on track again nd find that support like these communities is very helpful to keep motivated. Best of luck.

    Hi! Gonna be 58 this month! Yikes!!! Just joined today..so I am excited. A bit concerned however because I have fibromyalgia and I just joined the YMCA. I am going to do the best I can, but a bit afraid....gonna try to just work through the pain. I have fought weight my entire life...have gained and lost entire people off my back, but it came back on...so shooting for healthier and happier and the rest will fall in place. Good luck to you!!

    I am 57 and doing this journey for the last time! ( :wink: )
    I want to lose between 50-60 pounds, have lost 8 since starting MFP in early January.

    I am 53 yrs. old and have been trying for a year to loose some weight. This year I made a goal that I was going to get to my desired weight. 60 lbs to loose before my birthday in July I have already lost 5 lbs, but I am not counting on that to stay that way cause it seems like I loose then I gain it back, hoping this helps me and gives me the encouragement to keep going. Today is better than yesterday! Zumba my new best friend and just walking which I love to do.
    I do have a question for all you Yogurt lovers, I can't stand the after taste, any ideas to help this taste?
    I wish I liked it!

    Hi, I am 51 and have been trying to lose about 35 lbs for the last 3 or so years. Nothing is working. I thought that counting calories would be the ticket for me, but, so far, I haven't lost a single pound. Same old, same old.

    Hello! I'm 51. Started MFP Jan. 2012. Have lost 25 lbs. Have stalled. I believe (no...I KNOW) I have hurt my metabolism and am now in the process of trying to get that straightened out before I can continue on (need to lose another 30).

    Any one, please feel free to add me:)

    Today is my last day at 46. I will be 47 tomorrow and I am in the best shape I have been in since my high school days. I joined MFP in November 2012. This place is great and I have some wonderful friends that log on everyday to help and give encouragement. You can do this. We are all in this together.
