    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.

    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 😊
