Looking for people over 60 to share tips with!

It seems like most of the people here are a lot younger than us, so I would like to be friends with a few people in my age group. I am 62 and have about 45-50 pounds to lose.

Hi, I'm in your age bracket 65 yrs, female and have a lot of weight to lose. Sometimes I feel like I have left it too late and being big is so demoralising added to ageing and being grey - heck where have 'I' gone. Know what you mean about being shocked at looking in the mirror, so when I started avoiding mirrors and not looking at myself - well, I knew I could not keep avoiding my truth.
- Happy to be a support/motivator, but I am a straight shooter and prefer friends to have an open diary for accountability as am here to get the job done.. not whine about it.
-
If that fits with you, your welcome to add me.
Cheers,
Elle

Elle, I wasn't asking for a motivator! In my opinion, motivation comes from within, NOT from someone else cheering you on. I'm just looking for some friends where we can share tips together. For instance, I was at my ophthalmologist's office today, sitting in the chair for a couple of minutes, when I noticed there was a corner to the left of the wall which was pretty clear. I started doing in-place lunges and a couple of other non-discriptional exercises just to be moving instead of sitting in that chair. I also do this in front of the television when I watch it.

We have plenty of years left, and I would like to look like an older version of my younger self, and not an older fatter version!!!

Thanks!
