    I'm 68 and still hanging in there, although not concerned about my weight, I'm working on improving my aerobic fitness with a goal of getting off of BP meds again.

    You are so welcome! Another thought is, between changes on the scale don’t forget those “non scale victories” like clothes getting looser and being able to move about easier. So much good stuff! Best of luck to you :)

    I am 59 and just joined less than two weeks ago. I have 100 lbs to loose. I have lost close to 30 so far. Trying to eat healthy, in small portions, low sugars as I am also diabetic. This is all new to me but I am determined to do this. Could use friends and motivation.

    I'm 68. Two years ago, I decided to get serious and start logging here. I've lost 87 lbs and still have 30+ to go. I think it helps to decide you're going to never stick your head in the sand again. I've logged every day, even when I've been kind of goofing off and not losing weight, sometimes for months at a time.

    Slowly is the very best way to lose weight, mine is slow and been hampered by two major ops in three months, gotta keep at this. Good luck

    I'm 62. Down 60 pounds, but joined MFP because I've hit a plateau. I'd certainly welcome any friend requests from folks in my age range!

    I just turned 60 this year and I have been doing MFP for only less than a week. My goal is to lose around 10-15 pounds in the next couple of months. I like the fact that MFP can "predict" how soon I will able to reach my goal. I also watch my carbs (that's one of the main reason I started to use MFP).

    I'm 59..... that's close. ;)

    I joined April 2017 and have lost 111 lbs so far, about another 20lbs to go.

    Logging everyday and staying as active as two bad knees allo is the key for me.

    I'm on everyday and enjoy two way interaction..... feel free to add me. :)

    Turned 70 this year. I'd rather wear out than rust out so I'm on here to stay active.

    I'm 64 and I need to lose 40-50 lbs. I am losing, slowly. I have been logging and I do Y group exercises twice a week. I really need to walk more.

    I'm 54 ... marching towards 60 (God willing). I know it's a cliche, but I honestly believe more than ever that age is just a number.

    When confronted with some serious health issues, my father lost about 80 pounds when he was in his 70's. I figure if he can do it, I can do it. Plus, I want to start now before I'm staring at the same kinds of health issues he faced / faces.

    Just saw this today. Good luck to you. I've kept off 20 + pounds now for quite a while, but it inches back on! So I've "rediscovered" five of those pounds so it's time to get back with the program again. Good luck to you! Feel free to correspond if that helps you.
