    I am 48 and trying to get in shape before i turn 50. Haven't figured out how to have one of those trackers at the bottom of my post. I have lost 45 pounds so far. I put on weight after a car accident 2 1/2 years ago. Looking to lose 10 more. I was an "open weight" rower in college (more than 135 pounds). My goal is to get down to 135 so I would qualify as a "lightweight." I am a new vegan and mostly run, bike, and hike for my cardio. Want to have tank top arms for my daughter's high school graduation next year!

    I am 51 and have has a roller coaster ride with my weight over the duration of my life. I seem to loose then find it and more attaches along the way. I was real diligent in hitting the gym up till thanksgiving last year. the funny part is that I still have the membership, I just can't seem to get there, I am back now and journal more than ever, I still need to get in the routine of going to the gym after work. When I get home the night just seems to go by with preparing dinner and then whatever else comes up. I have a desk job so I really need to get some exercise in. I am committed to start going on a regular basis beginning on Monday, I am determined to get back in to the swing of things!!!!!

    Hey 52 here. I would love to have a fitness buddy too. I have just started again. I had been doing really well but I had some personal issues and just stopped.

    I am ready to go now. 2 days in a row of exercise. :)

    Please add me too. I could use some friends closer to my age. I started back last month and lost 10 pounds and still need to lose more. I have a cruise in 5 weeks so I will be working hard to drop another 10 pounds before my cruise. We can do it!

    Hi I'm Tess and I'm a 55 year old Type II diabetic. This is my first day here and wow, I've got 12 calories left for dinner! But I'm sure I've done better today than I have in days past. I need to lose 50+ pounds. Would love to give and receive encouragement and ideas, share recipes, etc. :smile:

    You're doing great, Tess. The first few days or weeks is about learning your old patterns and seeing where changes can be made. Log accurately and you'll start to see where you can make some changes.
