    Hi, you can add me if you want, I joined a few weeks ago and I love it.
  • I am 53 and have been using MFP for 3 months----I have lost 40 lbs!! MFP has been a great way to track food and exercise; both essential to losing weight, I think. A big motivator for me has been a weight loss challenge at work that I just won! Now I just need to keep working at it, I'd like to lose 80-90 lbs total.
  • Oh yeah baby and getting better every day. I feel better than i've ever felt. I have more energy, stamina, endurance and wisdom. This is a great place for people of all ages. This is where it is at!

  • Hi Patty, I'm 58 - at least for a few more weeks:) I think you will love MFP - it has really helped me. I just joined after Christmas, so I am still learning. I'd love to have some friends who are in the same boat!

    Welcome to MFP, I'm 51 and I've met a lot of people on here who are in their 50's, it's a great program and works well. I like the accountability you get with your friends. Good Luck to all, feel free to friend me if you'd like I enjoy helping others and motivating with some fun.
  • I am 50 and can use some friends to help keep me going. I have been doing this for four weeks and have lost 7 lbs, but have hit a plateau and feel a bit discouraged.

    Hi Patti, I am 69 and Im sure you will find lots of help here on this site. I have lost 5lbs and I have been on just about 3 weeks. I have about 20 or so lbs to lose. I also have lost inches--on my waist and hip--maybe just one hip, lol- but it feels good

    Hi! I'm 51 and just "restarted" my journey on MFP. I used this tool about a year back and lost 21 lbs in 12 weeks. Time came to get rolling again and get more off!:huh:

    Not 50 but happy to be added as your friend. MFP is a great tool for all ages. So far I have lost 12 lbs and am amazed at how journaling faithfully has kept me committed.

    52 here! Feel 32...act like I'm 12 at times...I'm adding you!
  • Hi,
    I am 53 and just started using MFP again on Sunday. Tracking takes time but it really does help you to see how quickly calories add up. I am weighing around 180 and my goal is to get to 150. Which I know will take a lot of work and dedication and changin behaviors. That would be truly amazing to weigh 150. I've been a roller coaster dieter for years and always can loose weight but never stick with eating healthy.
  • Hey how did you do it, I'm also in a work challenge. I love to talk to success stories. Oh yeah also over 50, oops I actually started Jan 6, weigh in is Friday.
