    I'm always happy to have more friends in my age group. I'm 58 and using MFP to keep myself on track and motivated.

    I am only 49, but please feel free to add me. I have been yoyo dieting for over 5 years. So I stopped dieting and am changing my lifestyle. Investing in myself, I got me a personal trainer and nutritionist. This time there is no failing!

    I'll be 65 next month. I am doing the ketogenic diet and doing well with it and I truly love it. My husband has joined me and he loves it as well. We eat regular food. It is a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. I set my macro nutrients in MFP which helps me stay on track. Anyone may add me as a friend. I have an open diary.

    52 here, started on mfp about 4 years ago and lost 51 pounds. And then gained most of it back.
    I started back here 5 weeks ago, and am definitely finding it harder to shift the weight this time around.
    I would certainly welcome some friends to help motivate and encourage me - I appreciate the effort from those that take the time to pass a comment or remind me to get off my *kitten* and move.

    Hi I'd like to join. I'm 57 and that 50+ really does make us women struggle to lose weight and keep it off. I've been a yo-yo dieter for years. I need to lose 20# right now but my goal is to keep it off. Would love a MFP diet/exercise buddy to check in with daily for shared motivation and accountability. If interested friend me. Joan

    There are at least a couple of groups for 50+ or beyond here on MFP, too:

    Mature Adults support, motivation and sharing 55 +

    I'm 60, 5'5", SW 183 in April 2015, CW/GW 120 +/- 3, maintaining since around February 2016.

    I'd also like to join. I'm 51 with 50 lbs to lose. I would love to go on this journey with others who understand how hard it can be, but believe the destination will be worth it!

    You can add me as well. I am 55 and trying to lose 80 pounds. I was 288, I'm now 280. I lost 8 pounds in a month. It was no walk in the park, but this time I MUST Lose this weight. Why? Because I don't like being CONTROLLED by anyone or anything. I've got to show Food who controls who.

    Please add me! Just turned 57 years old and put weight back on after quitting smoking and a bout of depression. I need all the support I can get, I live alone with rescue dogs.

    I'm 52 and started on my weight loss the last week of June 2017. My sw was 237 and CW is 203. My goal is 137 so 66 lbs. to go. 1/3 of the way! I'm very happy with my progress so far. Please add me.
