Seniors in Georgia?

LosinIt54

I am 63, retired and live in Sharpsburg, GA. I’ve lost 42 lbs since Feb. and want to lose another 30 by Labor Day. I walk 3 miles every morning and I was looking for any seniors who are looking for friends and/or motivation. Thanks.

Congratulations - I have looked around and there doesn't seem to be many seniors on this site... but I am going to keep using it for another year to maintain my weight. I hadn't been using it much this past year and I can feel the difference. It makes me accountable for myself and where I might be going astray... Good luck on your journey.

Actually there are quite a few very active over 60's on this site that post throughout the forums on an almost daily basis.

There a also a number of over 70's that are regular contributors.

Folks in their 50's are running rampant.

Everyone just doesn't post their age unless it is relavent to the post.

There are some good threads and a few groups that cater to those in their 50's, 60's and 70's. You will need to do a search for them.

I know there is an ongoing, or repeated monthly thread for 55+ on both the maintenance sub-forum, and the motivation and support sub-forum. If they aren't on the first page lead back a couple. They would be good places to find age group friends.

I've just turned 65, lost 30lbs, been maintaining the loss for ~9years and a member of MFP since 2010.

Don't worry about the age of the posters, learn from their wisdom, and enjoy the variety of personalities.

Cheers, h.
(Sorry, I don't do friends)

I'm 75 and just started MFP two months ago...have lost 10 pounds and am enjoying the process. I like the website and the ease of loading food and exercise each day. I feel better than I have for some time.
