I am 51. I try not to think of age as a limit to being trim and healthy.0

Been using MFP for 27 days today and down 8.5 lbs!!! Had been very frustrated with all the wotkout time I spent and little weight loss. A couple things that help me are: a) I ignore the remaining calories and stick to staying at or below the goal calories; b) pay very close attention to my sugar consumption; c) look forward to completing my daily entry... seeing what I'd weight in 5 weeks if every day were like today.
No, every day is not the same, BUT every day has been a lot closer to my target weight!!!
Good luck!
PS - Regarding sugar... I'm trying to staying between 30-50 g/day. What was explained to me was my sugar intake was so high that my exercise was busy burning all that sugar and not getting to the stored stuff.0 -
I'm 60 and I'm closing in on my third year on MFP. I've been at my goal weight for over two years. My gratification: when I visit my daughters in San Francisco, they aren't standing at the top of a hill waiting for me to huff my way to the top.0

Over 50 isn't a big deal
I have been very surprised at how my body still adds muscle and burns fat off
Maybe I had just given up when my body knew better!
Good luck. You can do it!!0 -
I am 45, younger than some. I am also trying to lose the last 40 pounds of extra weight. However I did lose 70 pounds by using MFP and Wii My Fitness Coach.0

52 like me.... that´s just perfect like all other ages And I learned in march 2014 when I joined MFP: There´s no time like the present. Make a plan, start and don´t stop. You can do it. All of your fitness pals know it and you know it....0
