    Hi! I'm 46 and just started on 12/6. I've only lost a pound, but have lost 5.75 inches. I just made up my mind that I would do it this time. I absolutely love MFP. It totally keeps you on track. And I'm making myself get up and workout every morning. Instead of putting it on my "to do" list, I make myself a priority. It's tough some times, but I feel so energized when all is said and done!!

    Feel free to add me, I'd love to support and motivate you! Also, don't stay totally focused on the scale, watch out for lost inches too.

    I'm 44 and have been using MFP for about 7 months. I've lost 53 lbs and dropped from a size 18W/20 to a 12, working my way into a 10. (I haven't been this size since 9th grade....) I have cut out most junk food (I splurge occasionally on chocolate) and work out 45-60 minutes 5 or 6 days a week. When I first started, I could barely walk half a mile... yet in November, I ran my first 5K in just over 41 minutes. I ran a second 5K in December in 37:41.

    Follow the nutrition guidelines, eat some (not all, since the counts aren't truly accurate) of your calories back, and get ready to be successful!! It may take a bit longer at our age, but it really does work!!!!

    Feel free to add me as a friend -- I'll help you out as much as I can!!

    I'm 46, just joined MFP, and so far I'm impressed with the resources and people on this site. I need to lose around 150 lbs, and it seems really overwhelming right now. I would love to give/receive support from you and others with similar circumstances - please feel free to "friend" me! :smile:

    I'm 46, almost 47, and have been doing this since August. The weight loss is slow, but at least it is going in the right direction. I take heart medicine that makes my loss even slower. Feel free to friend me.
