    47 and DH is 50. We are both getting back into shape... he is ahead of me and lost 85 lbs already... it's a bit harder for us ladies. But feel free to add me and we can help each other.

    You can add me if you like. I don't have a lot to lose but will need ongoing support when I get to maintenance and am happy to provide support and encouragement.

    Hi, I too am 53 and in the best shape I have ever been in. You can do it. Eating right and exercise can be fun and rewarding. Hit the gym and make some new friends.

    I am 56 and would love the mutual support! I lost only 0.2 pounds last week, which surprised me until I discovered tonight that I need to be eating more to reach my net calories. I love the wealth of knowledge among members on MFP. I started logging my exercise and food on Jan 19 and am learning so much in the process from the numerous helpful postings on the message boards. So please add me as one of your buddies, if you'd like.

    I am a very newbie. I had done ww and lost about 40 lbs 21/2 yrs ago and gained it all back. I have been trying for the past several mos and just going up and down a few lbs, went to the gym and over did it. My Dr told me to " watch the carbs" Ahhh!! I see.. I really like the way this is all viable in a clear way. This way I can see where i am making choices that may be the problem. I am 57 and it seems so much more difficult now. I think once I get going on this I will start to feel good. Count me in!
