Hey all, new to the MFP community. I have a milestone birthday coming up in a few weeks. I decided two weeks ago that I was going to be fit not fat in my 50's. Could use your support and motivation. I would love to lose 60 lbs but would settle with 50. 6 lbs gone in the first 2 weeks.

    Hi! I have that very same birthday coming up!
    It's a big milestone but I keep telling myself there are so many examples of fitness in the 50's and 60's and even 70's &80's these days that it totally achievable!
    I'll lend all the support I can !

    I just celebrated my 57th birthday yesterday! I need to lose the 35 pounds I regained over the last 18 months; I had maintained my loss for about 3 years. Caring for elderly parents and a hysterectomy really got me off track; ugh. We can do this!

    Yep we can :)
    I have the last 2o to lose that are quickly turning into 25 :/
    It's the same weight I've had to lose for years, I'll be 50 in July and really want to get it done by then.
