    I am a youngster and of the wrong gender but there are plenty of people over 50, you just don't see them using the forums as much.

    I'll be 60 in June.........my goals are a healthy weight (BMI in a normal range), healthy lipids (cholesterol, etc), and an overall feeling of feeling healthy and energetic! I'm not here to get a bikini style body but to be healthy and live longer!

    Agreed, I'm one of them.

    Hi...I just turned 64 in January. I've lost about 75 lbs. and have been working on maintenance for about 8 months. I find that I can easily slip back into old habits so I continue to log most days. Plus the support from some good people here helps when I have one of those tough days. Good luck to you and all others who are working on better health.

    Hi!:explode:

    I think there are quite a number of those here in the 2nd half of life. In fact, there is a group called Ladies over 50.

    I don't comment in the forums real often, but believe that is a way to make new friends.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. I'll be 60 in April!

I'm 62 and have been working on this getting healthy stuff for the past 5 years, first on South Beach, and now here ....... lost 40 pounds by changing some eating habits & walking a bit each day ......... nowadays I still make mostly good choices at each meal ..... and get to the gym 4-5 times a week for cardio & weights.

    I'm 64, live in NH, and have been here for 5 weeks. After trying every "name brand" diet out there, I'm here, doing it the old fashioned way, counting calories! I am loving this life! My FitBit Zip is arriving Wednesday- yeah! I walk daily at the grocery store- my bum hip screams at me if I walk long distance without something to hold on to. I've started lifting 5 lb. weights, and no longer have to ask my DH to lug the cases of water, or shovel the walkways...
    I am an art teacher (in my home studio), watch 3 of my 6 grandchildren after school, and care for my mom, who lives with us.
    That's it- me, in a nutshell!
    I check in/log in every day, so if anyone wants a buddy, just ask. I'm NOT into heavy lifting. Yet LOL!
