    soon to be 55 here. Joined Weight Watchers -- AGAIN -- and I've gained! My pic shows me sleeveless, and I HATE to go sleeveless with arms the size of young women's thighs. My goal is realistic at 175 (for now). I'm hovering around 210 and cannot, for the life of me, get into ONEderland. Need help and motivation from meno-sisters.

    54 here and trying the 5:2 intermittent fasting approach. I've lost/re-gained the same 5-8 pounds for too long and need to try a different approach.

    I had a thread on here that I am starting up again for those over 50 I used to run too and had a couple of injuries and trying to build up my exercise as well. I have more to lose than you. I got busy when I went to back to work full time and gained the 40 lbs I lost. Only 2 of us have been posting. I am just trying to eat healthy at home.

    Hi there! I'm new! I'll be 51 this year. I'm a lapsed distance runner, martial artist, strength trainer and paleo/primal eater. I need to get back on the horse (literally... I haven't felt good enough to ride my horse since last fall). I'd love to make some friends here and help inspire while I get inspired!

    Hi, I just joined and will be 50 this year. I have battled my weight most of my adult life and am down now from 206 to 177. I still have 27 pounds to go and these seem very attached to me. I'd love the support of friends helping each other. Feel free to add me as I have no idea yet how to send friend requests. Thanks!

    Hi, I am 53, started tracking and reducing calories Feb 3 after getting bloodwork back that indicated pre-diabetes, have lost 7 pounds so far and am feeling so much better and more sustained energy as a result of the various changes I've made in my diet. For the purposes of improving my blood work, I'm supposed to lose 9-19 pounds. I'm shooting for 25 for aesthetics. Welcome, this is a lovely community with lots of supportive and diverse voices! Oh and feel free to add me.

    I'm 52 next week and I'm fed up too! My profile photo was me 5 years ago, in the best shape of my adult life. I chose it for inspiration so I see it daily when I log on. Since then I've put over 35 lbs on my 5' tall frame. Not healthy! I'd love an accountability/motivation partner if you want to add me.
