Hello
My name is Elaine and I am 63, I love to craft, read and do some gardening(when i can as i have arthritis).
I was a member of Weight Watchers until the virus statrted last year but gave up because l felt the support was not good and unfortunately l have put on about 20lbs since then mostly because of lack of excerise.
I struggle with eating in the evening and I am a comfort eater.

    Hello, Elaine!

    I'm wondering whether you may've checked out this thread, which is full of friendly people our age (I'm 65):

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10718336/60-yrs-and-up#latest

    It's been going on for a while, so don't be worried if you open it up and the first posts are old. It's still active, and the newer posts are on the later (higher numbered) pages.

    I'm Ann. I lost weight with MFP back in 2015-16, and am mostly hanging around here to maintain a healthy weight now, but I do also try to help newer people figure out how to get the most out of MFP, since the app & Community have been so very helpful to me along the way.

    What crafts do you enjoy doing? These days, I'm mostly making jewelry and doing a bit of visual journaling/mixed media, but still dabble a little in other things I've learned over the years, like sewing, crocheting, etc. I have some ornamental plants in garden beds and pots outdoors (with a focus on oddball things 😉), plus a gradually increasing (!) collection of houseplants.

    Wishing you much success with MFP!
