    I just turned 50 last month. I am also just starting today on MFP. Ive been a lifetime member of a weight loss program, but have not been at goal in a long time. I tried the "new" version of that program for a year now and basically lost nothing - just went up and down with the same few pounds. Previously I had lost 16 pounds on their older program in about 8 months. SOOOOOO, I've been thinking about giving something like MFP a try and count calories instead of points. I'm looking forward to being successful!

    Hi! I'm 53. I need to lose quite a bit more weight than you do. I have found many friends of all ages on here. I value each of them but my friends who are closer to my age have different life expreiences and can relate to much of what's happening in my life. If you'd like send me a friends request.

    Add me looks like we have the same goal. I'm 53 and slowing down. Had to say UNCLE to the high impact excercise. Started MFP 2 weeks ago. Did lose 5 lbs so far. Hoping for at least 15 more.
