    47 and really needing support, I think it gets harder as you get older to lose weight

    Just turned the big 4-0 last week. Please add me, I need some motivation. I do good for a while, but always seem to fall off the wagon :-(

    Hi I'll be 42 in march, a thyroid cancer survivor, and have a very hard time losing due to no thyroid. I'm a wife and mother of a teenager. I've been lifting weights with a trainer once a week and my clothes are getting looser even though the scale wont budge. Add me if you like.

    Hi I am 50 years of age. I am trying to loose weight with the 5:2 diet, just started this week with two fast days and I have to say I actually enjoyed it. I also joined a running club at the beginning of January and have gone from struggling to run for one minute to now being able to run for 10min.
    I am hoping this time next year I will be a healthier and fitter person.

    I'm 59, soon to be 60. Just had a hip replacement, so my activity is WAY down from what I planned. The good news is I managed to lose 14 lbs before surgery. I'd been getting to the gym at least once a week for strength training and treadmill or elliptical workout, and walking more in daily activities. Being stronger pre-surgery has helped my recovery. 2 weeks post-op for total hip replacement and I'm using a cane. Continuing physical therapy, and walking in the house until I can drive, but I have to take it slow because I tire easily this early and I don't want set-backs.

    It's hard to keep down to 1200 calories because my husband who also uses MyFitnessPal can eat so many more calories than I can, and he tends to give me the same portions he eats, while telling me they're smaller. He cooks, so I have to try to get him to make salads for me (He won't eat vegetables at all).

    I could just start refusing to eat stuff.

    Anyone 55 or older trying to lose weight, feel free to add me. I'd prefer to have a support group my age for encouragement. I'm getting discouraged over reading about these 20-somethings running 10 miles and burning 600 calories in half an hour.
