Over 60?

I will be 68 in July, nice to meet you!

Hi, I'm 63 and back with MFP once again. I had lost 50 pounds on WW, but couldn't work with the Smart Points. Put on 30 of the lost pounds and now I'm looking for others who can relate. I just hope I can find you all again...as I'm computer-challenged!

Hello, I am 61 and we can help each other along. We can do this.

I am 65 and going the low carb route- 2.5 yrs ago I lost 70 lbs but I have been 10 lbs from my goal that whole time. I just can't seem to drop these last pounds off.

I am using the program to try to determine which nutritional variations
I need to make for my body to start to
lose again.

My carb intake has to be under @40 to
lose wt. I know that for sure. I am metabolically resistant

I turned 63 in April! Great to know y'all are in the group.

I'm 65.

I'll be 60 in 6 months -- can I play, too? I've done WW a few times and have learned some good lessons there. One of them was that I need more protein to stay satisfied than WW thinks is okay, so I'm back to a (relatively) relaxed form of low carb and it's working well for me. I'm down 20 and have a long ways to go, but I'm pleased with the trip so far.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi everyone! My name is Suki. I'm originally from NYC but now live in Salta, Argentina. I teach English and Voice here. I have been on MFP for a month, I think. I started with ediets.com but their recipes were too complicated and sometimes, I can't get all the ingredients. So MFP really works better for me. I have, to date, lost 14 pounds. I want to lose another 14 before mu trip to the U.S at the end of August.

My trouble is I get weak when I see those tasty chocolate bars with peanuts as I'm checking out of the supermarket.

Hi and welcome. The first thing that I would suggest is that you don't look at this as a diet or punishment. Embrace a new lifestyle of healthy food choices and exercise. You can have a treat when you want if you are active and staying within your goals

Hi, I am 63 and have been doing MFP for over a year. Not very successfully but you only get out what you put in and I haven't been putting in the effort. Now following the NHS 12 week weight loss plan and have lost just over 3lb. I keep active by walking and aim at 12,000 steps a day.

Hi, turned 63 in March. Been on here a year & lost 40 lbs. 15more to go

How's everybody doing? For some reason I've been pretty motivated the last few days. Yay!!

I'm 66. I've been on MFP for 89 days and have lost 41.8 pounds so far. My Oncologist suggested I go to see a bariatrics consultant about my weight. I had lost 50 pounds while on chemo but the weight had started inching back up - I had gained back 20+ pounds of it. (By the way, I'm 2 1/2 years cancer-free now!) Anyway, the consultant told me they had 3 options: bariatric surgery, medications or high protien/low carb diet. I told her surgery was out; my body had been through enough of that. Insurance wouldn't pay for meds and that would cost anywhere from $150 to $250 a month and I wasn't sure how they would interact with my other meds. So high protien/low carb won - and so did I! MFP helps keep me on track and I've been fortunate in that I don't miss sugary stuff at all! It also helps that my hubby is so supportive.

I'm 69 and have been on MFP for 151 days, daily logging and open diary. I have a great group of friends that log daily and offer tons of support.
