    Welcome and I'm in my 70's and still struggling. I asked if there were 70 yr old here and didn't hear from anyone so I am guessing I'm the oldest here. This is the best site I have used. Stay with it.

    Well, I guess I'm way over 50.How does 74 sound?
    I have been on for almost two weeks and have lost 5 lbs.
    You are all so smart to be doing this at an earlier age.
    I have been strength training for 1 1/2 years and am quite strong now. I find the cardio requirement difficult. Not that I can't walk any more but more because I want to be doing other things. Without the cardio, it's hard to make it go away. I have 45 more pounds to lose. I am trying to follow a carb fluctuating diet and the logging on this site makes it really easy to track my carbs, fat and protein.
    Good luck to all of you I love to read the blogs. You are all so kind to each other and so supportive.

    Hi Everyone!! I'll be 52 this April...50's are not so bad!! Two grown children, well number 2 graduating from college in April, so just hubby of 30 years and I at home with our three furry children!! I would love a few more 50 plus friends! I'm in a slump right now, lost 8 pounds, gained 3 back, lost the 3 again! Exercise is my key, I eat just fine, but after a day of teaching fourth graders, I just want to go home!!! I would welcome any new friends! I do like MFP a lot!! Thanks!

    Hi Patty,
    I'm 51. I've been on WW for 8 weeks without much success despite my strict adherence to the program. I am here to see if MFP will work better for me. I think my body has gone into some female hormonal Bermuda Triangle, but I am bound and determined to push past that and not let it take me down. I exercise 5-6 days a week and plan to keep it up. Welcome!

    Hi Patty, I'm going to be 79 in April which, I guess, makes me the oldest person on this message board. I just started the nprogram this week and like they say, it's never too late. Good luck to everyone.

    Hi .. my name is Mel. I live in the UK and am 59 (until April) and have just started using MFP again. I've been tracking my weight for quite a few years - despite running regularly the weight just keeps creeping up. So I decided it was about time I did something about it. I'm hoping to find some friends on here so feel free to add me (same goes for anyone else reading this!).

    Hi, I just turned 56, and joined this week. I have +50 to lose, but just knowing there are other people out there doing the same thing really motivates me.
