    I found the food diary to be a big help to me. Now that i write it i see the calories. I try to make better choices. But this not a diet , it more of a food plan. If there is something i really want i try to plan around it or get a little more excercise. Lots of ideas and support on the community site.Everybody here has something in common, we all want to get in better shape and stay that way. The very best of luck to you. But it really isn't luck it is determination.

    Hi I am 50 and I also have found that the pounds don't come off as easily as they did when I was younger :sad: I still have around 70 pounds to lose and I am always looking for more friends! The more the merrier I always say, so anyone can feel free to add me if they want!

    Hi!
    I'm 47 trying to get myself back in shape and get healthy again. It's certainly taking some time and it's coming off very slowly. I'd like to share with others around my age to see if we can support eachother. Any idea's or things that have helped you succeed at this age would be awesome.

    Thanks so much!

    I'm 43 and have lost 33 pounds with the help of MFP!!! Add me as a friend!!!

    I am 49 and weight seems to come off more slowly the older i get. I am restarting MFP AGAIN... one thing that has helped me is to move. Exercise, cardio, cardio shopping anything that gets me off my butt helps.
    Feel free to add me as a friend - we can support each other!

    Hi I'm 46 and I've been here for nearly a year, logging consistently. It's much slower to lose than when I was in my 30's for sure but you can do it!! Strength training has been a huge help for me. I didn't start my strength training until about 3 months ago but I can tell a difference. I'm a cardio junkie. A good idea is to just change up your exercise rountine, keep it fresh and fun! Feel free to add me for support:):)

    Hi! I'm 61 and have lost 60 pounds since last February. I work out every day and am back to doing Tae Bo. I have found it easier to lose the weight and get back in shape now that I am 10 years post menopause then it was when I was in my 50's and in the middle of it. I think late 40's into 50's is hard because of all the hormonal shifts going on. More power to you!

    Hey you! I'm 47 too! (And a budding poet too, obviously!) I have been here a month and totally love it. Feel free to add me as a friend. The more the merrier. I'm finding my way (always having despised "exercise nuts," so a bit concerned now that I'm becoming one) ... but loving every minute of it and finding new ways to drive and motivate myself. I like the support of others, and like to help motivate others, as well. I'm gabby, and I'm here to improve my life and, in so doing, hopefully help others to do the same! :)

    if it was easy then everyone would be doing it. just stick with it and each day log in your food. dont trust a scale and take measurements with the tape. it will tell you where you are loosing weight from and no matter what anyone tells you...you can not spot loose weight so stay with it and your body will get to those places you want to show off. good luck and stick with it
