I welcome friend requests from ANYONE, actually, but if you're 50 or over, like me, I'd especially like to connect! :)

    I am 63 and restarting - I lost 75 lbs three years ago and gained it all back from stress of my husbands illness - now my blood pressure is back and the weight must go forever - losing I can do I hope - maintanence is my main concern - last time I threw all my fat clothes away. - Apparantly that's not smart idea

    You can add me. I am going to be 62 in May. I have been on this since Junev and have lost 63 lbs. I want to lose 30 more. Sounds better than knee replacement in both knees.

    Soon to be 60 in April. Retired 6 months ago and looking to kick off my new life first with health and some level of fitness. Too many years in a stressful job, most of it behind a desk. Joined a pre diabetes group of 5 people and coach as well as activated a YMCA membership. The exercising is going ok...the weight loss is NOT!!! Ugh. Can't seem to shed pounds consistently. Since end of Jan., am down only about 6 pounds.

    My new mantra, related to my post above is "SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE". I will cross the finish line....someday...in my own sweet time...and so will of us in this group. It's just a slower race when over 50!

    I'm 58, and while reasonably healthy, had to have my gallbladder removed in February. The very limited eating I had to do for 3 weeks prior to it (after an attack) and the gradual reintroduction of foods has left me 18 lbs lighter, with 22 to go, but now I'm struggling with re-learning how my body reacts to different foods, trying to get my strength and energy back where it should be. I'll get there, though, and am grateful to have had such a good recovery! Feel free to add me.

    Oh dear - I feel your pain. I am 64 and lost 41lb 3 years ago, I have regained half of that and I am just in the process of getting it off again (lost 4lb last week). I also threw all my fat clothes away but got to say I'm glad I did as the motivation for me to get the fat off was I got fed up of wearing the same items of clothes and absolutely refused to buy more fat clothes. I'll send you a request if that ok, we can support each other in our restart. BTW, i'm from South Yorkshire in UK.

    Im 56, been well below goal verging on underweight in an attempt to loose that belly fat, for me its very hard to shake, I can be lean everywhere else but there.

    I'm 67 and have been here at MFP for almost 4 years. Spent last year maintaining a nice loss and then restarted this year to lose the last 20. Only 6.5 to go to reach my goal.

    I lift weights, run/walk with my dog, swim in the summer and also do either HIIT or Stairmaster 4 times a week before my weight lifting session.

    Anyone can add me if you want, I'm a pretty good cheerleader and try to set a good example for other men and women in the over 50 age group but try to remember that age is really just a number!
