    Hi I am 44 and 135 kilograms (295 pounds) - I am desperate to lose this weight and get on with my life. Would love some friends to support and be supported by. Please add me!
    Kind regards,
    Meg

    You're never too old! I think a lot of people on here feel old, because we are each as old as we've ever been. I am 36 which isn't old, but I feel old for this - like "why did I wait so long!" and "Ugh, this is so much harder and slower than before", but I think with age comes determination and experience. We can do it!

    I am 69 years young and have lost 92 pounds - I still have another 93 lbs to go and know I will get there. There is no "DIET" this is a lifetime change to the way I eat. I log everything I eat everyday. While I agree that as long as you have a calorie deficit you will lose weight no matter what you eat - I choose to eat healthy and stay within the calorie limit suggested by MFP in order for me to lose 2 lbs a week. And that is exactly what's happened. After the initial large weight loss the first and second week due to water weight loss I have managed to continually lose 2-3 lbs a week. So my suggestions are: Log in your Food Diary every bite you eat everyday; set small attainable goals that will lead to your end goal; celebrate your successes with something other than food; and join a group or thread for support and motivation. You can do this!

    49 and ready to lose! My first vow is to log my food each day. 60 lbs to lose and I would love too be well on my way to that number when I reach 50.
