Former SparkPeople

murdore2021

I was on sparkpeople.com since 2009. My sister is on here so I thought I would give it a try. Day 50, I'm down over 8 lb. I turn 60 next month. I am happy to not be obese anymore. Now working and getting in the healthy BMI zone. I'm a recently retired special ed teacher. I love having the time to exercise and eat better.

Hello, and welcome to MFP!

It sounds like you're thriving here: Good show!

If you're interested in reconnecting with other SP expatriates, I hope you've seen this thread:

If you're interested in connecting with other MFP people around our age (I'm 65), this is a good, active thread:

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

Like any long-term thread, if you open that one up, you'll see older posts at the top. Fear not, it's still very active. The recent posts are at the end, on the high-numbered pages.

I haven't been obese since sometime in 2015 . . . but I hear what you're saying and share the sentiment: I'm happy to be no longer obese, too; and I've been enjoying retirement and the flexibility it brings for a few years now.

Wishing you continuing success with your goals, now that you've joined us in MFP!
