    Does older count? I hit mid 50's this year. New on here. Not quite a week. So what's it like in the UK? My Grandma was from London. I'm from Canada but married an American, so aiming Wyoming now. Hope to see you on here again

    Good luck all...you can do it

    If I did it, any bugger can ;)

    48 ... Lost 54lbs and keeping it off

    Just keep weighing and logging accurately. Move more. Lift heavy.

    50-something ;) in the Northwest. Losing about a pound a week by (usually) sticking to 90 carbs per day Usually because I'm off-plan at least a quarter of the time (oops!). T2 diabetes; 6 pounds from goal weight (16 according to my doctor, but he doesn't live in this body).
