    I am 59 years old and this is my goal this year to log in each day. I have a lot to lose also. I am taking this a day at a time. Trying to eat normal and keep calories 1400 ,or close to it. I have been on Weight watchers,HCG, Fat burners,you name it. I then go back with the weight gain. My son lost his weight his senior year and has kept if off for years,counting calories and watching his fat intake. He said Mom try the calories and stick to it where your metabolism, can function and you will lose the weight. You can add me as a friend. Sounds like you got this down pat. YEAH!!!!!:smile:

    Hi! I am 43 and looking to lose about 20 lbs. I joined weight watchers last year and lost 10. I quit weight watchers and just used this app and found it helpful. However, I eventually fell off track and stopped looking at my calories and I started cooking higher calorie meals again. I love cooking and I have a habit of watching the food channel and then making what I watched. So I gained some of the weight back. I'm trying to get back on track and would love to friend anyone on here too.

    Hi! I'm 41 and have 50+ pounds to lose. I have a desk job but love the idea of taking my 15 min break to go walking around the block. If my coworkers can take breaks to smoke, I can take lunch and do some walking instead of eating at my desk! I find preparing healthy meals challenging. I'm going to try doing some cooking on the weekend for meals I can have during the week. I'll let you know how it works out!

    Don't let your age disappoint yourself.
    I am 64 male and had the same weight problem. I took care of it, you can too.
    Stick with MFP and exercise 60 min a day! Drink a lot of water!!
    I shed approx. 60 lbs in 6 months doing this... 1200 calories a day!!
    Good luck, add me if u wish..

    I am also 50 years young, have worked out on and off since my teens. I have always had a weight issue, weighing as much as 255lbs at one point. Finally managed to lose 75 lbs about 4 years ago, but starting backsliding about a year ago. I have been wearing a Fitbit for almost a year, it's amazing how accountable that makes you. Was back down about 10 lbs, but then the holidays hit. Starting over at 198, but having a fresh attitude helps. Love that Fitbit links to MFP, what a great thing. You have to take 1 day at a time, make the best decisions you can every day. If you slip, be better the next day. Try not to get overwhelmed and don't allow any negative self talk!
