    I'm 57 and always battering the bulge. Have lost 11 lbs. doing my fitness. Think it's pretty easy to stay with
    I dance ( by myself) for at least 1/2 hr a night. I find the Latin pop music station on my T.V offers the best beats
    To keep me bopping.

    I will be 53 in two weeks. I started using MFP on 9/1/12 and have lost 33 pounds. I am at goal, just trying to lose a few more pounds. I was a WW worker and member for a long time. However, this app has worked better than anything. I eat my calories every day. Rarely I go over, but on days I do, I don't sweat it. It's a great app to help you eat more healthy. I have totally stopped eating processed foods. No frozen meals for me and that has really made a big difference too.

    I always thought my weight issue was menopause, but it was simply ...eating too much. This app saved my life.

    Hi, I turned 50 this year, and working on losing another 100 pounds. I have lost 59 so far, 13 since joing mfp. I am finding that sometimes it is very hard to stay focused, but the tools here are so much help in that effort. Also, it has been hard to deal with stress without turning to food, but I am always working on that. Add me if you would like. Thanks

    Hi - I am - can I just say mid-40s? with a birthday in May? - and I just joined MFP today. After ignoring the scale for about a year, it's really time to make a difference. I'm starting with a medium-term goal of losing 28 pounds, but my true goal is to lose 40 pounds.
    I'm new to all this and would really love some inspiration and support, and would love to get added. Thank you!

    Hi....I'm 54 and the older I get the more difficult it is to lose weight.......might have something to do with menopause and slow metabolism??
