    I'm 51 and new to MFP, I sometimes (most of time) have the same issue with motivation as it seems to be falling off so slowly. Add me if you want.:smile:

    I'm 58 and I need to shed 100 pounds. I'm having trouble sticking to anything I try. I have just purchased the nutra-bullet in hopes that will inspire me to drink more veggies and fruits.

    Hi! I started MFP January of this year. I will be 56 y.o. in a few months. I have lost over 57 lbs. since early Sept. of 2012. I am currently at the weight I want to be - haven't seen this number since my marriage at age 24. My current goal is maintenance and to keep doing what I have been doing . I would love to be an encourager to you. This also helps me stay accountable to my eating and fitness goals. Please feel free to add me.

    Feel free to add me too. I am currently 53 and been on here about a year. I too am pretty close to my goal....would like to maybe lose another 5 pounds or so. I am currently at 137 pounds - that's 30 less than my highest weight a couple of years ago. My goal, besides losing a little more, is to continue with my running...which I haven't done in a while due to an injury and allergies. Also, start logging my food again more consistently. I would love to encourage you in your journey and have your encouragement and motivation also.
