Hi I'm 56 and 5'2" tall. I have lost 20 lbs so far (started at 142 lbs 5 months ago). Need to lose some more. Counting calories and trying to move more. So hard to fit in a lot more exercise while holding a full time job so I focused more on my diet and nutrition . (I'm not going over crazy with exercise just so I can eat more). I am doing pilates and yoga plus cardio. So far so good. Need to lose more. I find the tips and encouragement on MFP awesome. So add me if you need support and would like to give some too.0

Hi. 55 years old.
Great website as long as you stick with it.
I don't exercise, except play golf once a week.
Have cut my daily calories by approx 1/2.
10 lbs to ultimate weight goal of 140.
Slow progress for me but I am fine with that.
Good luck !
Add me as a friend if you'd like.0 -
I'm 47 and need to lose 50 lbs. You can read my profile and see what I've done in the past, mostly taking diet pills. Then, I unknowingly did the very low calorie diet thing, and it took me 1.5 yrs to lose 20 lbs, AND my hair was falling out, I was mean and tire all the time, my skin and nails were horrible. I realized that I was grossly undereating (I netted between 500-900 cals/day). This time I'm gonna find a healthy lifestyle that I can maintain realistically. I have started lifting heavy (for me anyway) and I walk too. The 40's have been an absolute struggle for me! I would love to have y'all's support and I'll give mine as well. I have logged consistently for 861 days, so I'm on here everyday. I love this site! Any of you that want to, feel free to friend me!0

I am 51 and lost 115 lbs after joining mfp. I love this site. I have been maintaining for awhile but I broke it into 10 lb goals at a time because 100+lbs was overwlemling and felt impossible, for every 10 lbs I lost I bought myself some new earrings. Now I am healthy with lots of cute earribgs. Feel free to add me0

I'm 53 and determined to lose some fat and strengthen my muscles. Having fibromyalgia makes it more difficult, but I have to do something! I live in NWA now and am looking for people to connect here to encourage one another. Please feel free to send me a friend request.0

I am 50. When i first started I needed to lose 30 pounds and now I have about 12 pounds let. I love MFP and I log in everyday. My eating, work out and food habits have changed so much sine I have been on here. It is not always easy but I know I am a MFP "lifer" because it works.0

Yup - over 45 and my initial goal is to lose 35 lbs. - I have more to lose after that, but I want to stay realistic. Started with low-impact cardio work-outs at least 4x/week. Have started tracking what I'm eating - wow! What an eye-opener when you need to write everything down and see the numbers add up. Good luck - feel free to add me!!0

I will be 45 in June and am trying to lose 10. Ok I would prefer 20 but if my old clothes fit I will be satisfied with 10 I was treated for breast cancer almost 5years ago and since I feel like my body is about 10 years older hormonally so things feel a big more challenging than I think they should but whatchagonnado? I would love some friend support that I could return as we'll.0

I am in my mid 40s and have been trying to lose 10-15 pounds. I am a fairly active person ( cardio up to 1 hour everyday during the week days, weight training 3x week and on the weekends several hours of cadio including hiking, x-country skiing.) My weight has been stuck for years it seems. I am 5' 6" and fluctuate between 145-150.0
