I am looking for someone interested in being my support buddy . Preferably female 50's with about 30lbs to lose. I also struggle with arthritis and sheer laziness! I live in Maryland.

    Well I don't live in Maryland, Ohio 61 year old should weigh 25 lbs less than I am. How did this happen? I live alone, widow, so not much accountability. How do you want to inspire and help each other?

    Count me in !!! I am a 68 year young Jersey girl.....a REAL Jersey girl....not the MTV kind :-) Seems like I have tried everything to lose weight, but now would definitely like to ( need to) lose 30 pounds. So....let's get started....what is something that you have tried that HAS worked in the past?
    I love to walk, and it is easy to find outdoor places here, but I am limited in my exposure to the sun, so my friend
    and I joined a mall walking program. Our mall was available before hours for members of a hospital sponsored
    program. We did that for almost two years :-)
