    After you have a reasonable portion of dinner, push away from the table, go brush your teeth, then drink a big glass of water.

    Just read thru the posts! What great advice. I have sent a couple of friend requests, it isn't easy finding friends that are in our age group! Anyone wanting to add me, let me know.

    I would add water to the list of weight loss tips. Everyone knows they should drink water, but I am a life-long water hater! I have been addicted to iced tea, brewed and with added sugar. I have completely given that up 75 days ago. I never thought I could do it, but I have. I don't even want it anymore. I found one kind of water that I actually could swallow (ha) and of course it is not easy to find in the local stores, but have found it at Sams Club Warehouse in bulk. So I pay the extra and treat myself to what I believe is the best water money can buy, Smart Water. I taste a difference with it compared to all the other bottled water.

    Go.Get.Healthy!!

    I am interested in joining this group. I have been off MFP a few months and now ready to resume and be more active. I am going to be 53 next month and I want it to be a better year for me. I gained some weight in July and it never came off! I do yoga and walk but not near enough exercise. I am trying to be mainly vegetarian but do eat some fish and poultry and beef occasionally. I think some of you have wonderful advice. Marianne Williamson is a very smart and inspirational writer so I hope that books helps you, glingles. I would recommend anyone interested in getting over heart disease to watch FORKS over KNIVES. It is very inspirational and educational! Please add me I need new friends!!!

    Suggestion:
    How about a weekly weigh in?
    Including measurements
    That way we can monitor each other's progress.
    Let me know what u all think

    Hi. I've been on MFP for a while and realize I need to get involved in groups and make some friends. I just turned 55 and have a lot of weight to lose. If anyone is looking for friends, please let me know. I'd like to be part of this over 50 group.

    Hi - Busybee, you're right, having support is a great motivator to stick with it. I also agreed with the advice above that weight loss is 80% diet...and the comment regarding water.

    I'm 52 and have lost 57 pounds. It's a lifestyle change that requires healthy eating, sleep, strength training with limited cardio. If I can do it anyone can.

    There is no place to "input" a search for a group name. What is the link to the group page? No way we can find it since there are 1000s of groups. How did the 14 members find it?
