    I m 51 and have lost 18 stone -- 3 stones 6 times !! every 5 years :/ Ok I exaggerate a bit sometimes it was only 2 stones ... but that is my story , i was tiny in 2007

    This time round i am throwing away my big clothes and it is staying off .. I mean it ! how do I know ? because this time I have built in exercise to my daily routine and i am loving it , and i have also given up alcohol and feel so much better

    5.2 kilos (11 ls) lost so far this year ...

    feel free to add me as a friend, I am finding the support i get in here invaluable ,

    I would love advice on how to tone .. anyone know how ?

    Hi. I'm mentally about 45 but actually 59. Been 'trying' since Jan 1. Lost about 11 lbs but currently stuck. I know I'm in the danger zone where it all becomes too much effort and I fall off the wagon. Been there many times before. Lost it all once before (4 stone) and put it right back on.

    Morning, I am soon to be 49 lost 75lbs 13 years ago. I have gained 15lb in the 6 months so back on track and it requires more work but the benefits of eating healthy and doing exercises outweighs falling back on old habits. Don't give up and just change your lifestyle and the first thing you'll know it will be just a daily routine and you will not even notice.

    I was 1 month shy of 40 when I started my weight loss journey. I'm now half way to 43 and I'm maintaining my loss through use of MFP and Fitbit. Feel free to add me.

    yes. i have managed to find about 25 pounds over the past 7 years, and I would like to lose it. I am nearly 49 and I really don't want to get to 50 with this extra baggage. It seems like every pound I add is exponentially harder to lose than the last one. I am now committed to exercising at least 3 times a week (love Zumba!) and have started juicing (with fruits and veggies!). The Juice really seems to help my sweets addiction, and I feel great- now I just need to see some results on the scale! :smile:

    Boy, I realized I'm almost out of my fifties, yikes. Better shift my weight loss and exercise into high gear. Thank goodness for the support and stories on this site. I am 57 and just joined a few minutes ago. Have already read quite a few stories in a number of groups. Very enjoyable. Linda

    Hi! I'll be 50 in 2 weeks and I need to lose about 85 pounds. Been hard the last few weeks. I have lost my motivation, but I still log onto MFP everyday.
