    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

    The logging in and tracking is half the battle since it shows where and how you can improve.

    Hi, I just turned 44. I have struggled with weight loss for as long as I can remember...I notice now it doesn't come off as fast as it used to! I go to my local TOPS chapter and I just recently joined Planet Fitness(my birthday present to myself). I have a long way to go---I hope to lose about a 85 lbs. Best wishes to all of us :)

    Hi I am 49 (will be 50 in 16 weeks) and I am trying to lose weight . My doctor wants me to be 163 lbs. ("Government" guidelines); I want to be 130 lbs. I am 47 lbs. from that but just 14 lbs. from what my MD wants me to be. So Please feel free to comment on my blogs and my topics.

    Hi team! I am 58 (next month) and gained twenty pounds in the past several years being the primary care giver for my father. I took to stress eating never taking the time to feed myself appropriately. I am a vegetarian, went into menopause 14 years ago after a second bout with breast cancer and have been on diets all my life. I too was hospitalized for an eating disorder (bulimia), 24 years ago. I am determined to lose this weight and after the holidays made a suprise discovery in my basement of a Nordic Trac. I wonder how long that was there gathering dust. I am hopeful that "My Fitness Pal" will help me to get back on track!
