    Hi, I;m 57 and need all the help I can get. I need/should lose about 50-70 pounds to get back into my BMI Zone.
    Broke my ankle and dislocated my shoulder last year and seemed to balloon when I was not able to be at all active. Was in a cast for over 2 months due to complications. Spent the last 9 months getting somewhat back to normal as far as mobility.
    Now the next challenge is to get all that weight from being less than mobile, plus the added weight I accumulated over the years.

    Hi...! I'm Sharon, 51 and have been following a low glycemic eating plan for almost three years. So far it's worked great for me, I'm 53.5 pounds down, which is a bit of a back slide after the holidays, now I have 46.5 to go for my goal. Thank you for creating this group.

    Hi folks, My handle is Share Bear (Sharon), I am 59 and I have 15 pounds to lose. I have been yo-yo-ing since losing my weight in 2007. Kept it off until about 2010 and now I am having difficulty. Getting older so metabolism slower I guess. I am active, work out usually 4x a week, now upping it to 6. Eating like a bird. Down 4 since 1st of January. If I can keep this up it will be awesome. Its not easy and it would be good to have some MFP friends in my age bracket. I like to support my friends on here.

    Hi all. I am 59 years old anxious about the big 60 coming up! I do well for several days& then fall off the wagon and eat everything! Maybe you can help me keep on task.

    I'm 55 and used to be WW Lifetime but put on so much weight in the last 6 months. I can tell things don't fit, I'm out of breath and just sluggish. Need to lose at least 30 lbs and I could use some encouragement (and will gladly encourage others, too!). Count me in! I need this 😊
