    I struggle with food all the time. I find that working out helps me by giving me more calories to eat and relieving stress. I tend to judge my accomplishments by what others have done, and that sets me back. I may be going slowly on weight loss, get fit journey, but I am going,and that's what is important.
  • 47, but losing weight and getting into shape feels like I am deducting years.


    ^ That. Agreed and never felt better. 51 years old

    51 years young here! Time for me to lose this weight for good that has been coming off and going back on for years. I believe I have lost the same 20# over and over and gained it back once again. NO MORE!!:happy:

    Hey, I'm 42 and started MFP about 3 weeks ago. I lost 8 pounds the first 2 weeks and was very excited. Then this last week I lost NOTHING :sad: I believe it is a female age thing, the weight just seems to want to stay there!
  • Your post could have been my post!

    Just turned 50 a few weeks ago. I'm looking to lose about 50 lbs. the healthy and fit way but it isn't as easy as it used to be so I am looking for some support and friendship to encourage/be encouraged by.

    Hi ...im 57 and struggling, but thats always been the case, i dont have a problem with diets just losing weight, there is a switch in me to trigger weight loss i just cant find it been looking for it for years lol. Im doing Dr Michael Mosley's The Fast Diet along with Weight Watchers on my feed days, its a breeze, but i do like to keep a tight track of calories, i trust in Michael Mosley and i do feel exceptionally well, not taking any medication what so ever , so i guess i cant have everything. :smile:
  • I'm 44, just joined today hoping to lose 20lb or so on Michael Mosley's 5:2 Fasting diet which I started a week ago.
  • Hello. I will be turning 41 in April. Excited to CHANGE!
