i am female, 70 years old, and need to lose at least 50 lbs. i am normally a reasonable and intelligent person , but not regarding eating and exercises. I would like to share encouragement and accountability with a weight loss partner. I appreciate your help if you also need a serious weight loss friend.

    Good luck to you wise314. Our journey gets a bit tougher as we age. I would love to offer any support I can.

    I am 68 going on 69. I have lost 99 lbs in the past 18 months. I can tell you that it is't much different because we are older....at least that is what I have learned. Don't let people discourage you or put stuff in your head about how WE CAN'T do it because of our age, etc. I am proof that WE CAN. Good Luck to you!
