    Hi, all. I'm looking for some folks to help keep me honest and motivated, and in return I'll do the same. I trying to log daily again (open to friends). I hit a goal 6 months ago and since then have just coasted. Now I'm back to lifting every other day with active recovery on off days. I'm 27lbs down and my next goal is another 24 to get me down to the mythical onederland. Oh yeah, and I just turned 37. Feel free to add me.

    Middle age :/ I took a short break from MFP, but now I've returned to get back on track. I would love some active friends. I'm on daily and very encouraging.

    I'm 54. About 130 pounds left to lose, bad knees, bad shoulders, and have finally decided I won't let that stop me.

    52 back in August. And right now I weigh less than I did when I graduated high school!

    That's awesome! I'm 54 so it's encouraging to hear this. I just began this journey to reclaim my body and its great to hear others have done it

    The 40s are my healthiest decade yet ... I'm a runner back on MFP for motivation mostly to keep track of my protein intake and help with food (and beer lol) -related discipline generally. Trying not to undo what I do every day as my metabolism starts to slow down. Feel free to add me!

    Just found this thread ~ Please feel free to add me. While I am at the upper end of this group (55 the end of this month) I'm ready to get the upper hand on Father time. I've gained 25 lbs in the last year, and I'm NOT happy about it.

    Good morning All! I'm really enjoying this app time around! I've joined in the past and dropped off when things in my life got hectic. Now I'm going strong for nearly 3 weeks with logging! Experience as well as being in my late 30's has brought me to the realization that its going to take intentional efforts to maintain and/or regain good health. I enjoy and value the accountability, encouragement, and support the community offers. The articles here are very helpful. It's encouraging to see the process & success of others. I just wanted stop in to say hello & Great Job to All us for taking take care our health. Have a fantastic, happy, healthy day ☺.

    Never considered myself middle age before. I'm in denial about my age ... the better I feel the younger I get! I'm 45. But if you ask my kids they will tell you I'm 27.
    This is the second time I've attempted to lose weight. The first time I was much younger and it went faster. I lost 160 lbs during that time. Maaany years later I found a good bit of that weight ... and am trying to get rid of it again. So here I am!
    I've been using MFP daily for a few months now and have lost 19 lbs. Looking to lose another 80'ish lbs....

    Didn't know I could run or lift until I started in my 40s! Now all my real life friends are whining about getting old and fat and falling apart while I'm in the best shape of my life. Would love to have a few more "old" friends who enjoy the same things that I do.

    Add me, I am 51, and I have a pug!

    Turned 52 in March here, but I'm eating healthier than I did in my 20s...I was very happily active until I rekindled a 20-year-old horse accident injury, and am sidelined due to a hurt foot. :neutral: BUT, because I found that I love being active, I am researching all sorts of exercises that I can do without standing on my feet (or swimming, I don't have access to a swimming pool). I still do yoga, because it is not hard on the feet. I REALLY REALLY want to get back to walking and other activities that you need feet for, because I am addicted to my Fitbit and it is getting bored...
