    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.

    Fabulous to find so many women over 50 who are doing such amazing things! My head doesn't think I'm that old, but my body thinks I'm older! It's time to do something! I didn't used to be afraid of getting older until I kept getting fatter. Now, everything hurts, my knees hurt, my back hurts; I have sleep apnea, etc. I'm tired of my own excuses. I'm strongly considering gastric bypass, but I realize I've got to start making positive changes, now -- before commiting to what seems like a life-altering surgery. I feel good that I've at least started -- lost 10 lbs. with 130 more to go! I'm walking more; I'm feeling better. I think its helping to read what others are doing on MFP. I don't feel so alone and hopeless because ya'll are doing it -- so can I!

    Everyone friend me :) I am 48, mom to nine, SAHM, and been fighting the weight battle for 25 years. I need to get my act together with the food thing. I have no problem exercising, I just overeat. I am beginning to ACTUALLY read my Beck deck everyday. That is helping. I am adding juicing and green smoothies. I would love diet buddies. TIA

    If you like you can add me. I just turned 53 and need to lose 15-20 pounds. I have never found it as hard as I do now to lose weight. It is so frustrating I drink a smoothie, spinach, berries, apple, and banana, daily. One slice of gluten free bread for breakfast sprinkled with cinnamon. For snacks have healthy nuts and a salad for lunch then a healthy supper. But the weight just does not want to budge. Help, so frustrated cannot get rid of the middle age spread.
