Great way to look at it!4 -
Hello all! I am thrilled to find a group of 50+ adults who share this challenge. I am +- 50lb overweight and have been for about 20 years. I am very active and eat fairly well - just entirely too much. Because of this I have been lucky to avoid the health issues of being overweight. Well, my blood pressure is creeping up and I am on a mission to avoid meds. This means that I need to drop some weight.
I joined MFP in 2012 but I have rarely made it past a week of logging entries. I am hoping that finding a group will help me in being consistent. I am part of a running club (albeit the weak link) and a post I found on this facebook group speaks volumes...
"Every morning that you wake up is another chance to get it right."
Kind of my motto right now. Happy Monday!3 -
Ruh-roh. I thought you just had to be over 50. I may be in trouble here! HAHA!50ishfiona wrote: »Hello all! I am thrilled to find a group of 50+ adults who share this challenge.
I started here for the same reason. My blood pressure was creeping up. I got denied for platelet donation three times at the blood bank because my BP was too high. Went to the doc and he gave me some meds - and some good counsel - "You won't have to take these pills if you lose some weight." Dropped some pounds - dropped the meds - life is good. Back to donating platelets every couple of weeks.I am +- 50lb overweight and have been for about 20 years. I am very active and eat fairly well - just entirely too much.

Hi everyone, I would like to join this group. How do I go about doing this? I am 56 and would like to lose about 40 pounds so I can go into retirement (wishful thinking) in a healthier body.0

What did you opt out of? You are still posting in the "50somethings" group. That's all you need to do to be part of this group.
Do you need help with something else on MFP?

I'm 61 in October and could use some new friends. I'm back on MFP for the third time and hoping for some true success for myself.0
