I am 60 years old and I am determined to loose weight. It is definitely possible for you to loose weight. It may not be easy like in 20s or 30s but easier in 40s than in 60s right?:happy:
I am much happier and healthier in this age than I was in 40s. You can do it.0 -
45 counts as "older people" ? Ouch! And me with out my walker!
JK- sending a friend request.0 -
I was in fantastic shape when I turned 40. I wished I had paid more attention to my diet, etc. as the pounds just slowly but surely crept on over the next 9 years. I'll be 50 next month and would love to be in that same shape as I was when I turned 40 ... I'm trying very hard and while I won't be what I was when I turned 40, at least I'll be better than I was last Monday when I decided to begin this journey. And, after this, I will pay attention to my body more. MFP has really opened my eyes to the amount of calories in some foods and how much I was overeating without realizing it. I have a pretty healthy diet, but wasn't paying close enough attention. Good luck !0

I started my weight loss journey last year the day after my 45th birthday and am presently in maintenance after having lost a little over 80 lbs in about 10 months. So, I would say its possible for us "older folks".0

I am 6 months shy of 50 and determined to hit that number in the best possible shape.
Always open to new friends.

Friend's request sent. I'm older too I suppose at 45 But according to my dentist (who is the same age) says my teeth are very old and that was not said nicely. Sheesh.

I am 51 i and it is hard to loose like we did when we were younger . I have to weight everything i put in my body and do at least30 to 60 minutes of Cardio 5to 6 days a week. I also do yoga at least that too. And it starting to come off again . I was hit on my Harley motor bike last August and the last 9 months i have not been able to do much of anything i broke my tail bone and can you say OCHHHHH it was so painful i also have a lot of neck and should issuse still ,but i am back at it again and some days are worse than others but i am going to take each day as it comes .0

LOL at 45 being "older people." Your parents are "older people."
Anyhow, anyone feel free to send me a friend request. As long as you meet my strict age 18-120 age requirement. If you are 121 years old, then you are out !!! :explode:0 -
50. Add me if you want.0

Yeah, I thought you were going to be in your 70's. : ) I'm 50. I tried this before and I fall off after a couple of weeks because I HATE logging food. Basic stuff is easy enough but I prefer to make my own and building a recipe is a drag. This time however, I'm hoping the message boards will keep me motivated.0

I'm older than you and losing. It works the same regardless of age: eat at a deficit day after day after day after day (etc.) and you will lose!0

I'm 46. If I'm old then what the heck is my 83 year old Dad? At worst, I'm middle aged and I don't even call myself that.0

Ha! Ha! The elliptical at my gym has 120 age limit on it. And 500 pounds. So when I am 121 and 501 pounds, I guess I'll have to start using the treadmill. :ohwell:0

I just joined FP today and Im 46. So glad this was posted and to see so many of you having success. I am looking forward to the inspiration and motivation here.0

I'm 46 but not that old I really thought you would be in your 60's or 70's.0

Another one here who really is "older" at 71
With age comes experience, and whilst not as easy to lose weight, slower metabolism etc, our experience should tell us to just keep going.
My ticker tells all0 -
45 if young! I turned 50 this year, just started back into running and amazingly I'm actually eating a pretty good calorie load and still losing weight. Cutting out the chips and candy has made the most difference. Ice cream.......well life's not worth living without that! Ha ha. But small portions and infrequently now. I'd like some more age-group friends too!0

Good for you for being ready for a change!!!!
I think SO many people that are as YOUNG as their 40's just "give up" on weight because "that's what happens". NO WAY!
Here you are, here WE are, we CAN make changes. Need to make that body Strong or we keep losing that muscle mass which we won't to really feel the effects of until we're 60 and then saying "Uh oh"....
Welcome and get started!!!! We're here to help!0 -
Age is just a number ... oh and an attitude.0
