    hi I am 53 and have struggled with obesity and overweight most of my adult life. I am the local president of the yoyo club as I have lost and put on between 20 and 30 lbs regularly in the last 5 years. I know how to get it down but struggle to keep it there. I am currently just 5 lbs above my "lowest" weight since turning 40 which still puts me in the obese range on BMI. Id like to join and hope to motivate myself and others who have similar experiences.

    :) spotted the link in happy trails post

    Let's get at it!!!!

    I am in my last year of 50s and have lost about 25 pounds slowly. I have about 80 to go but I have been unwilling to eat in my calorie range and have become discouraged with not losing in the last two months. I am exercising almost every day, biking & swimming. I need to lose this weight for my knees which have osteoarthritis and no cushion. The lighter I am and the stronger my quads are the better it will be for me.

    You can do this! Great weight loss, keep moving!

    I'm on the downside of 62 years old and need to lose 22 lbs to reach my goal. I've lost 58 so far and have come too far to slide back now. Count me in.

    Hey, never too late to keep on going @auntannette1 . How many weeks are you gonna target for your next 10-lbs? Off by Halloween or so?

    I'm 51 and I find that I get great support and inspiration from my 50+ MFP friends. I'd love to join this group as well. Please feel free to friend me (anyone) if you would like. My diary is open. I don't always make the best food choices, but I'm trying, I'm getting better and I'm seeing some results.
