I'm New to this

I need to stay on track and log my food. I am new to Myfitnesspal. I need to lose at least 40 pounds and I'm over 60 so losing weight is tougher. I just need a community that will be supportive! Thank you!

welcome!

i'm 66, and i haven't found it any tougher to lose weight than when i was younger, so hopefully it won't be as difficult as you anticipate.

I lost 50-some pounds at age 59-60 (while severely hypothyroid, though properly medicated), and have kept it off since (now 67). I found it surprisingly simpler and more doable than I'd expected, though not psychologically easy every second, of course. Now I wish I'd done it years earlier, because the quality of life benefits have been very, very worth that effort for me.

I'm cheering for you to succeed - best wishes!
