Thank you. I'm very grateful that losing half my weight is actually target weight for me. I know there are a lot of people out there for whom losing 1/2 the weight will still make them obese. Stay well, Sharon1 -

What do you all think? @pdd1216 @Jem594 @cymande1961 and anyone else!
I'm 47, but the rest still applies. Could I join, too?
Hi there, I've set up a group and sent you an invite. Hopefully if I did it correctly you should have got it. Obviously there is a time difference . The group is called Friends that Lunch1 -

I’m proof that it’s never too late to change! It took me almost 60 years but at last I worked out what it takes to get to target. I hope you’re doing well on whatever journey you’re on1

Wow that is awesome. I am 60 in 5 weeks and need to stop complaining about being overweight and inactive and just do something about it. Well done on your journey. Mark1

Hi, my name is Clare and I'm on day one. Not got quite half my body weight to loose but not a kick in the ar*e away from it. I'll be 50 the end of this year and would enjoy being part of a group for the, lets say 'more mature' ladies on this journey as I think we can now all appreciate the slow struggle of weight loss and the fast journey of weight gain since menopause.
So how do we go about this??1 -

Hi Clare, I've sent you an invite to join the group I have just set up over the weekend. I'm an old hand with MFP, but a complete novice when it comes to Social Media. Do join if you fancy a chat. I seem to be a rarer breed - I'm in the UK0 -

Hi Mark, I don't know how old your profile photo is, but you look great for 59. I'm 60 at the beginning of December, so not far behind you. Let me know if you want to join the group 'Friends that Lunch'. I've only just set it up so the chatting hasn't begun yet - I can send you an invite if you're interested. If not, I wish you well on your journey!1 -
inspiring well done1

Hello, I can see that you've joined the group . I'm just setting it up and it's all new to me! I think MFP is an amazing app which I've used on and off for years, I just haven't got involved in the social side before. I plan to start a discussion but might not be available in a few hours time as it's my 35th wedding anniversary today. I'm not sure which part of the world you hail from. I'm in the UK,but I know most of you are from USA so we have a time difference to contend with. Hope you're well, Sharon 3

Congrats!!!! I am in my late 50's and am in progress. So far I have lost 20 pounds; only 80 more to go.
You are inspiring!!!!1 -
I'm 64 and on my way to lose at least half my body weight. Started losing after starting a new RN position without a micro manager and without trying I started losing weight. Then after gallbladder surgery, during recouping, read up on Keto, and actively started to participate in a diet. Today finally got below 200!
9/14/20-255 lbs (Unfortunately second time this heavy)
12/15/20- 243 lbs
5/3/21- 240.5 lbs
5/14/21- 232.2 lbs started MFP
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21- 222.2 lbs
8/1/21- 212 lbs
9/1/21- 200 lbs
9/7/21- 199.4 lbs!!!!!!
My ultimate goal is back to 122 lbs. Had got down to this in 2009 and only kept it off for 5 years and got lazy. I felt the best at this weight. I'm only 5'4". I had so much energy. Had a tibial plateau fracture in 2015 and had to learn to walk again. After years of having to go up 1 step at a time and meeting my other foot to it, about a week ago, I can now alternate steps going upstairs.

Life can certainly be a challenge. If you’ve done it before, you can do it again. As you know, keeping it off is the really difficult part and you’ve managed it before for 5 years. You go girl!1
