    I'm a 51 year women with the hormone problem. Hard to loose a pound. One day up one day down with weight. I love this site. So far a few days in and lost 3 pounds. I know it's just water weight. Lets see what happens in 2 weeks if I stick with it. A 1200 calorie diet is very hard for me. I kinda enjoy my little snacks through the day. Wish me luck like I wish to all of you. :happy:

    I would like to join with all of you fine people at this board. I am 45 and have gained 30+ lbs in the last 3-4 years. I have tried a lot of things to lose the weight, but haven't been able to make much impact. I have started jogging recently, and if I can keep myself motivated (and the weather sides with me) I believe this will help me. I would love to be a part of a group who will keep me motivated and who I can help, as well. Although I would like to lose weight, I am more concerned with getting in better shape and eating a healthier diet. Baby steps....

    Can I play? I am 51. Lost all this weight using weights and eating cleaner. Knee problems (going to have a replacement this year) so can't even really do much cardio........ The scale is the enemy.... teehee.

    This is a good idea! I'm looking at 51 soon and losing weight very, very slowly - I'm doing all the right things, so I'm pretty sure that the whole hormonal/post menopause effect is making it harder to stay fit. With that said, I am making some progress, like a turtle.

    I'm 45, I started my journey last Aug at 196 lbs, my thyroid doesn't work anymore, I have to take a pill, so I didn't think that I would be able to get this weight off...Well I was wrong, I counted everything I ate I worked out and in Feb I reached my goal, i'm now 122 :) If I can do it you can too

    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.

    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!!

    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:
