    58 here. Started out at 172lb. Work in entertainment business. Had beer belly I wasn't happy with. Got diagnosed with HEPC1a three weeks ago. That was the motivator. A bunch of the kids I work with work out .. some have lost 30-40 lbs in past six to nine months. One introduced me to MFP. I've been religious about the food I eat. Stopped drinking beer. Stopped smoking. Target food = 500 calories a meal + 300 calories in snacks, all high in super foods. Been doing Nordic training three days a week = 400 calories at a time. Taking up corerobics program in two weeks three days a week. Best friend gave me a bike for xmas --- will begin riding as soon as spring arrives. Want to be 145 with abs and strong legs by Aug 3. I will begin HEP treatments following festival season Sept 1. Want to run marathon for my 60th birthday in 2015.

    Hi, I just turned 50 last Friday.

    Happy belated birthday! I'll be 50 in October.

    Looks like we've lost the same amount of weight.

    I'm pretty fit. Have run a few half marathons in the last ten years. But I really like food. Good food. Logging it has been a real eye-opener and when you see the calories add up you think twice about another glass of wine or bowl of noodles. Since I make the meals at home it's not a problem to swap chicken and fish for beef and pasta.

    My reasons for wanting to lose weight are purely shallow. I want to wear skinny clothes. And boots that fit over my calves. And white jeans. And not have to choose clothes that minimize/downplay/cover up. And not have to squeeze into things.

    My husband couldn't care less. And I'm not worried about my health. I have a BMI of 25 and I'd like to get to 21. Can anyone relate?

    I'm 42 (just turned on Boxing Day) and I feel that age is just a number. Every day, hour, minute, second. you get older. I learned a lot getting here; had some fantastic experiences and some not so fantastic.

    I really enjoy MFP and like it much more than WW or SP, both of which I have a free membership.

    53 next week (firefighters are on standby for all the birthday cake candles....).

    Maintaining, not losing, although I might sneak off a few more pounds.

    I'm 58 years old. Decided to go on a 3 year journey. The first year I am going to put myself in position to begin athletic training (lose weight, walk). The second year (2014) I am going to train athletically, and then in 2015, I am going to compete in the 60-64 age group in the USTA Masters Track and Field meets. I am two months into a 36 month journey, and as of now I am right on track!
