Is there anybody out there in their 50's that has a lot of weight to lose and a long way to go to get fit? Menopause, stress, and sedentary job has taken its toll. I need some support from others who are working on the fit in the 50's journey.

    I lost my weight before I reached 50, but I've been in maintenance for 3 years. I'll send you a FR!

    I just turned 50 and have about 100 pounds to lose. I am having an easier time with upping the exercise than with curbing the diet. I had a hysterectomy a year ago (kept ovaries, so no menopause yet), quit smoking almost 2 years ago and want to be much healthier before my youngest child graduates high school next summer. Feel free to add me (everyone), too.

    Hi I am 56 and have 40 lbs to lose and have just started the program. I too am a stress eater as well. I would be happy to chat about the journey.

    I'm 55 and have began a healthier lifestyle. I have lost 21 pounds so far. I will send you a friend request.

    I am also part of a very active 50+ MFP group which has really helped. The group supports vitality, longevity, and healthy aging through proper nutrition, exercise, and social interaction. Click the link below if you want to check out the group.

    I'm 51 and currently down 87 lbs. Still have 25-37 lbs to go, depending on which goal I end up using. Feel free to add me, anyone else can as well. :smiley:
