    I'm 53 (how the hell did that happen??) and I'm going to set a personal best for cycling this year.

    Age is an impediment not a barrier.

    You stalking me Si?? hehe.

    I'd love to be included and anyone can friend me. I'm 47 and my doc scolded me on my weight gain at my last physical-she said I had another 10 coming when I hit menopause so I better get a grip on it now! Since September I'm down 13 lbs and working out regularly which I NEVER did before. My husband is helping me start lifting heavy tonight so I hope it kicks me into a change since I'm stuck at my weight with no movement. I'm actually feeling better than in my 30's so who says getting older has to suck!!

    count me in. I am getting ready to turn 47 in July and need to lose 60 lbs. it has been difficult due to medication I am on. However, since I started counting calories I am doing much better.

    I just started fitness pal but have been working on the new me for 12 weeks. I just survived breast cancer and it made me realize that I had to make some changes. So I kick butt in the gym 5 times a week and my whole family is eating much cleaner. A former trainer of mine suggested my fitness pal to help me more with my food. I am so excited to see what is in store for me. I have struggled with weight all my life but have always been active. I am married to a wonderful man and have two boys. I love my life and just want to feel and look better. The major goal is to live a long healthy life.

    Add me! I'm 55 and just seriously started here on March 6 and learning the ropes of healthy eating after years of horrible eating habits (not eating enough or drinking enough water). Always have had time to take care of everyone else but have never taken time for me. NOW IS THE TIME! Is the group set up and how do we join it?

    Good question! For now, I just go to my profiles to see pages that I have visited. How do you join a group on MFP? :noway:

    I'm in! I lost 55 lbs four years ago and gained 40 of it back in one year. I lost and maintained my weight originally by working with my Mom who was a avid believer in Weight Watchers. So, with proper portions, healthy shopping and a ton of exercise, I went from 186 to 130 in about 18 months. My Mom passed away last January and I have clearly lost my mind! No more though! I am eating 1200 cals/day, journalling every morsel and brisk walk 3.5 mph for 60 every day. I am 46 years old, (post menopausal, I hope) and ready to get fit!
