Men & Women in their 50s starting anew in 2019!

I am in! I am going to try again to lose 30 lbs I lost it once, but the sneaky sod found me again!!!!! 😳 so I could do with a kick up the proverbial! Some accountability might be just what I need!!

I am starting back up again this week. I'm not up to my highest weight ever thank god, but I have gained weight over the winter and holidays. I'd love to have some accountability for exercise and diet, and feedback. Just turning 50 this coming year -- hope that qualifies me!

Hi there ! I'm not exactly starting anew - just moving on with what I found to work for me. I've lost the bulk of the weight I had wanted to lose (only took me over 4 years) and have been maintaining for several months now. I started food logging again - because I'm going to try losing another 10 or 20 pounds.

I have no problem being motivated to exercise. I like cardio and I'm looking forward to staying in shape - and improving my fitness in time for Spring hiking. Over the winter I sporadically run - when the weather's nice enough. I walk - I play Pokemon Go. And, I do the treadmill and elliptical.

I was away from MFP for a long time. Had some bad life moments which translated to a big weight gain. Feel like I just woke up and got a look at the damage I caused myself. So.....put my Fitbit back on, joined a gym, started logging and, although only day 3.....I'm feeling better already! I'd love some company on this journey. I've friended you all, thanks for accepting. Let's do this!

I'm in. Been back on MFP for about a month or so now. Lost 50 back in 2013-2014 then moved from Florida to Utah. The adjustment has been difficult (Man I hate the winters here!!). Started off by getting back in the habit of logging everything. Then added water to my list. Now I'm focusing on eating more veggies which will help keep me under my calorie goal. Soon I will start focusing on some exercise. Baby steps works for me as I continue to build on better habits and routines.

I really like the idea of one step at a time. I tend to be kind of all or nothing, which isn't working well for the long haul. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm in. I'm 51 and lost 30 pounds last year, and then kinda lost interest. Kept up with my steps, scale didnt move, but lost additional inches. Ready to recommit for the next 30 pounds. Have been 'thinking' about getting back to the heavy lifting, so i now need to get back to the gym. Looking forward to killing 2019 with all of you!

Hope everyone has a successful Sunday. Most of my day will be spent in a car - taking my son back to college. It's a bit difficult to get any exercise in. So I guess I'll declare today a rest day. I do have control over my eating, though. So, I have healthy snacks prepared, and I'll stay on my eating plan. (and, hopefully get some reading in - I'm not driving, btw, my husband is - LOL!)

Count me in guys - Patricia in the UK.

After many failures I really have to sort out my weight issues - gave up smoking a year ago and gained even more weight so now it is time to eat clean and exercise more.

My first personal target is to lose a stone by valentines and 30 mins on the exercise bike every day.

Have a fantastic Sunday

Can I slip in, at 47? I'm still going to be managing my weight, health, and exercise in my 50s (and 60s, and 70s...)
