    Hi
    I am new to MFP and over 50.
    I have been on a weight loss program for the last six months and have lost 19 kilos so far:smile:
    I think we all need support and would like to connect with anyone who feels the same

    Hi,
    I'm quite a bit over 50 (62 to be exact). I 've been lurking around these boards and today I decided it was time to be an active participant. I started out with weight watchers on line and while I think it is a great program, I have gotten more interested in nutrition and want to see how my fats, carbs, protein, and fiber break down every day, so I switched to myfinesspal. This seems like a great community and I hope to be around for a long time and am anticipating a healthier me!!

    I am 60. It is harder to lose the weight as you get older, but it can be done. There are groups also on MFP for over 50 and over 60. Add me if you like.

    Hi, I just came back to MFP a month ago. I joined a year ago and lost my mojo after a month and quit. I am even more determined this time around. I just turned 58.

    That would be me, too! I'm 57, and this is my second round with mfp. I have a smart phone now with the mfp app, and that is helping a lot :)

    Hi everyone,

    I am also a 50 +er and happy to see some people my age actively participating. I have tried some other sites like this but got a new laptop and decided to join MFP. I am ready to get toned up for summer.

    I am 53 but feel like 73. I am morbidly obese and tire quickly during exercise.

    My goal is to feel like I'm 33, have a high "normal" (or low "overweight) BMI and develop a love (or at least like) for exercise.

    Here I am...58 and holding :) I need to lose about 125 pounds. I set a reasonable goal for 50 pounds by September 1st. I am vegetarian...no red meat or chicken...just fish and eggs, some dairy like feta. Today I pre-made lasagna using no bake noodles, veggie crumbles (lite life), tofu pressed dry and crumbled mixed with some chopped onions, salt, pepper, and chopped spinach, and Trader Joe's rustic spaghetti saufce. The tofu acts as a ricotti cheese if you will. My husband is vegan so I have to come up with ways to substitite cheese. This works wonderfully and it gives the dish a lot of protein and stuff. All I have to do now is throw it in the oven and bake it for about 40 minutes and taken take off the foil and sprinkle some vegan mozerella cheese I get fromTrader Joe's on top and I'm ready to serve with a salad :)
