    Hey, I've been on and off here for a while and am back again - I just need the extra accountability to keep me on track with my nighttime snacking, more than anything. My big focus is clean eating, portion control, and getting in a workout every morning. I try to surround myself with healthy, supportive people, and it sounds like you'd be a great addition to those surroundings - if you want, find me on Facebook - Sandi Prosnitz. We can cheer each other on.

    Hi guys. I am in my mid 50's needing to lose a few pounds and get WAY more active than setting at a desk all day or parked on the sofa watching tv.
    Anyone willing to be friends......let me know!

    I'm right there with you. I'm 52 and have 30 lbs. to lose. Have been saying I will lose this weight for 10 years now, and seem to add a couple of pounds every year. Starting today. Kept track of my calories - 1350 and did a 2 mile walk with Leslie Sansone. One day down.

    Wow, there's a lot of us here. I'm turning 50 this year and if that isn't enough, my daughter is getting married in August. How's that for motivation?

    UGH...guests in the office means people are ordering lunch. I will stick with my boring healthy lunch...even though the pizza smells really good. Have not been on track long enough to let myself fall off of it.

    Hi all! I'm 51 (closer to 52) Trying to be a healthier me. I found MFP about 2 weeks ago when I bought my fitness tracker. I started making changes to my lifestyle the end of last year, so far I have lost 11 pounds and working on more, 3 of those pounds were after joining MFP. I could stand to lose 50 pounds or more. Good luck to all! :)

    Hi! I am a British woman aged 51 with 30 pounds to lose in total. I joined here when I got my Misfit Shine activity band for Christmas. I've lost 9 pounds since Boxing day, walking 4 miles a day and eating sensibly, 21 to go! I'd love some friends but have no idea how to do it!

    Hi everybody! I think I fit right in here, I'm 47 and would like to lose 20 - 25 lbs, 30 - 35 lbs would be fan-flippin-tastic (can I say that?), but I'd be very pleased with with 20 - 25. I'm trying to do this by eating real foods sensibly and walking every day, no quick fixes, just long-term healthy choices. Hoping to lock this down for good with friendly support, especially from likeminded ladies.
