    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.

    Hi I'm 54. Would love anyone to add me to their friend list. I have some trouble with motivation and I cannot exercise as I would like as I need 2 new hips.
    I lost over 50 pounds before I came here and have been stuck in a vigorous cycle of up and down. I would like to lose 50 more pounds.

    Hey everyone, I'm also in my 50's and on the same journey as a lot of you. I live in Wisconsin and I sure do wish winter would lossen her grip so that I can get outside and be active. I'm bored walking on my treadmill, I'm not a huge fan of exercise which explains why I"m overweight!! I've lost 38 lbs. following weight watchers and now I have the confidence to try this on my own. What a blessing MFP is. Slowly but surely, I will lose this weight. Feel free to add me as a friend...any and all are welcome!

    I'm 55; feel free to add me. We should start an "Over 50 group"....just a thought. I'm not sure how to go about doing it, though!
