    :smile: Hi I am 51 with 2 grown up sons and an 18 mknth old granddaughter. Wa to become a slimmer granny. I want to lose 3-4 stone. Have done it in the past with Weightwatchers but have put it back on. I find tracking my food every day is the way to go as it shows you just how quickly those calories add up and helps me to make choices on what I want to use my calories for. I have cut out wine as very hjgh in calories but still enjoy a drink at the weekend after a hard week at work. Switched to vodka therefore dont feel like I am losing out. I try to save 100 calories a day so I can treat myself to a takeaway on a Friday night. Started MFP 2 weeks ago and down 9lbs so seem to be doing somethjng right. Good luck with your weight loss journey and feel free to add me The more of us the merrier we can all encourage and motivate each other x

    Hi - You can add me - I am 50 and have three skinny, active kids - so I can relate to the challenges - I joined last year around this time, lost about 15 pounds over a few months, but then fell off the wagon and managed to put it all back on again. So here I am again...

    Hi, and welcome. I log everyday, really committed to getting into great shape by spring. I'm 50, and have 3 young adult children. I only have about 10 lbs to lose, but that is the hardest to get off. I just started Beachbody T25 program. Love it, its only 25 minutes, so by the time I'm ready to throw in the towel, its over.

    I'll add pictures tonight. It's nice to have the support of MFP. I joined awhile back, but just started getting serious. One of my sons, is a weight lifter, and I would like to start lifting, to tone up. I'll have to get him to go to the gym with me and get me set up on a program. I have no idea at all, when it comes to weights, but I love the results women get from lifting heavy.

    Can you add me please?

    43 years old. Started shaping up last year - I lost 3 stones but put half of it back on during a horrible family time in September-December.

    New year, getting back on track. Trying the 5:2 diet and so far it's going well.
    Weight has been a life-long battle for me: I'm hoping the overall trend is going to be downwards and then not go up again!

    Last year I started running and found I loved it! Unfortunately developed trochanteric bursits & plantarfasciitis. It still niggles from time to time and running makes it flare right up, so I'm now doing a variety of exercise classes + the gym (well, if I'm honest they gym is about once a fortnight).

    Hi All, First time ive posted, Im 55 weighed in at 22 stone 4lbs at 6'5 The doctor told me to lose weight or go on tablets, Had high Cholesterol, high blood pressure, glucose level high.
    Started MFP on New years day and am now 20 stone 12ibs, lost 20lbs in 4 weeks and am totally blown away. The diet plan is mega easy, and i love it.
    I applaud everyone who is on this plan and losing weight, dont know about you all, but my target loss is 2LB per week but it keeps falling off. Think its the excercise bike i bought for £30, Do 300 calories/ 8.5 kilometers a day dont have the resistance high if on at all, but this has been the most significant thing to bring down my blood pressure toooooo
    Thanks to everyone who suggested MFP thank you again ..............2 and a half stone to go by April :)

    Please add me. I just turned 50. Have three boys - 11, 16 (as of today) and 21, all slim athletic and active.
    I weigh more now than I've ever weighed , including pregnant. Scary. We boat in the summer and I'm going to make small children cry if I show up in a bathing suit looking like this. :)
    This is my first day here and I would love some support and friends!!
