    For those uncertain, we have members in their 40's through 80's. We did pass the 150 member mark. I was told that 175 would put us in the top 2% of MFP groups.

    Hi! I'm 62 and have lost 59 lbs (47 with MFP), on my way to 80 lbs. I live in So. California and am looking forward to some inspiration and motivation to get rid of those last 21 lbs.

    Hi everybody, my name is Pat and I live in the UK. I am 70 years old, have lost 32lbs so far and would like to lose another 28lbs. I am struggling at the moment and like many others would like to improve my weight loss. Let's do this.

    Count me in. I live in Essex England and always struggling to lose weight as I love food. I have 55 lbs to lose. My big problem is that I am not consistent, eg. Today I am on watermelon and chicken diet!

    You shouldn't say 7 lbs is not a lot, go pickup something that weighs that like a gallon of water and walk around with it for 5 minutes and then bask in glory of what you've already accomplished!

    I just joined your group. I turned 51 in April. Over the past 18 months, I have lost 45 pounds. I joined MFP in December when I got my first activity band. Looking forward to "meeting" all of you!

    More than 200 active members! That put's us in the top 2% and one of the top 25 most active groups in all of MFP. Thanks to all of you that contribute regularly and invite your friends. We're old to some, but we just keep getting better!
