Hi, any 40 or 50 year olds trying to lose weight?

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.

54 and this isn't as easy as it was when I was 30! Step by step, meal by meal.

I'am 50 and enjoy being a healthier me.

What's wrong with us in our 60s?

Nothing's wrong with people in their 60 Jim - 93 pounds lost is awesome! Well done.

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.

I'm 40, 41 next month. Getting used to being in this bracket these days

I've lost 2 stone over the last 6-8 months. Age is not a barrier! My results are ok, I've seen stuff you wouldnt believe from 60+ 70+ people. dont think about age. In fact, keeping active as you age is a great thing.

Hi, I'm 48 I feel like I'm 25

47 and trying hard to lose 30 pounds by June. 30 yr class reunion is a great motivator!! Have lots to lose but that is the first goal.

I'm 52...lost 115 pounds about 2 years ago..and its steadily creeping back on...I need to lose 30 to get back to where I was...It just seems to get harder and harder...or my motivation and mindset isn't the same...I started logging my food again...and trying to get back into the gym on a regular basis...Would love some buddies in the same boat as I am in.....

Hi! I'm 58 and I've only been using MFP for about a month. I'd like to lose 10 lbs. (harder than it sounds)

Wow, proud of you!

I'm 46

I'm 49. I'll be 50 January 19, 2014. I'm struggling with losing weight. I have ALWAYS had a HARD time losing weight. I doesn't seem to get any easier at all.

I am 57. Just started trying to lose weight a couple of weeks ago, though. Sort of a beginner, I guess.
