Howdy,

I'm 50 and I just joined today. Lost 35 lbs in the last 6 months, and pushing for 45 in the next 6 for a goal of 80 lbs lost to get to my proper weight. It's nice to know there is a great supportive crew here at MFP.

I'd like to lose 15 lbs and tone up also. Maybe we can keep each other accountable.

Hi all, just over the fifty mark, hope that's ok? Been on mfp for a couple of weeks but started on new years day 2013. I must admit that since finding mfp my weight loss progress seems to be going well. With weight at one point tipping over the twenty stone mark I realised that something had to be done. Anyone that wants to join me in my quest for my life back, please join me. Onwards and downwards people. Jim.

Hi, I'm 47. My clothes have got gradually tighter and tighter over the last 4 years and I refuse to buy bigger ones so I decided to do something about it. I've been recording my calories now on here since the 2nd of January and have lost 8 pounds so far, which I'm really pleased with as I've not cut out any of my favourite foods at all. I have the scales out in the kitchen and weigh everything and make sure I add everything I eat as I go along so that I know how many calories I've got left for the evening, when I like a snack.

Hi! I'd like to add you. I'm 45 and need to lose 25-50 pounds...(big range, I know...but I'd be so happy if I just lost 25!!!) Please, anyone feel free to add me. I need support and advice from people my age who are also going through the slow metabolism problem of hitting this age!!!

I am 57 and have lost 30lbs (since 9/27/12, started at 365lbs!) for bariatric surgery qualification. Now that I have qualified, I don't want the surgery. I am so amazed the relative ease to lose weight if you track what you are eating. Of course, you have to be honest, or you won't lose! For me, I reduced carb intake to 125 gm a day, on a 2020 calorie diet. I have been working out, also, which is great, and necessary for weight loss. Just stick to it, and DON'T eat bread, pasta, potatoes or rice! It also REALLY improves diabetes compliance!
