Looking for some pals that at 35-65 years old that are doing it the old fashioned way. Counting calories and exercising. No fad dieting. Just simple everyday pals :) I would like to have friends only that share diaries as well. This is helpful to me. I'm on the journey of losing the last 100 pounds!

    Well - my granddaughter says I should say I am 12 but truly just a bit over that 65 age group - but also just doing this with lots of Protein meals, some fat, little carbs, no sugar even fruit right now and plenty of vegetables which fortunately I love. Not very techie so gotta figure out why no name is showing - my initial goal is to drop just 50 to start and after will go from there - I actually like exercise just don't set aside as much time as I should...in fact just finished 15 min on the elliptical.

    Hi there. I am turning 55 next month and I am starting over. I had lost 72 LBS but regained 30 ( I am ashamed to say), since I changed jobs and now sit at a desk most of the day. Send a friend request, if you would like.

    Howdy. My diary is open to the public and glaringly honest, LOL. Anyone is welcome to add me, or just be nosy. I'm cool with it. I don't do specific diets (I've already done them all, hahaha), and I exercise a lot. Congrats on your journey!

    I'm nearly 43 and looking to lose another 40ish pounds. I'm not doing much in the way of exercise but I log everything I eat and my diary is open to all. Send a friend request if you like (I'd send one but I can't work out how to do it on the android app!)

    I’m nearing 45 and would like to lose 25-30 more lbs. my diary is open. I’m in a much different mindset and this is much more for me than a diet.

    Anyone can feel free to add me. I love friends and sharing this journey makes it so much more fun :)

    I've got an open diary, so far I've lost ~58 pounds. Don't really have an end goal, but hope to land around 130? Currently I'm at 150. I've been wanting to connect more on here - go ahead an add me (that applies to anyone!). My diary tends to be unique because I have a number of food allergies and eat almost exclusively fresh foods.

    Good afternoon Judy. I am 38, with hair that is quickly turning gray so I feel much older! I have 30lbs to lose and it’s a struggle for me because I have a long history of over eating. I am attempting to make my meals as simple as possible so I don’t have to put a lot of thought into what I’m eating. I have been exercising regularly. I only started tracking food in my diary 3 days ago as to make sure I’m not eating too much and I am going to start tracking my exercise as well. I have been filling my food diary out in the mornings so I have a plan as to what I’m going to eat that day and I find that’s been helping me stick to my calorie goals. If anything changes during the day as to what I’m eating I do make the updates in my food diary. If you’re still adding friends I would welcome the friend request.
