    Hello and welcome!

    Might I suggest you take a look at joining one of the groups/threads where people agree to support one another in various ways? Those are most concentrated in the Motivation and Support or Challenges parts of the MFP Community, but there are a few here and there in other sections. That's a great way to get to know other MFP-ers, get support/accountability, gain tips, and more.

    Don't be afraid to post questions in other parts of the Community if you have some, or reply on posts where you have relevant ideas. In general, the Community here is quite positive and helpful IME.

    (Also, IME MFP is much better than most other social-network-type sites about shutting down bad behavior, really anything that goes against the Community Guidelines. If you see any of that, by all means report it using the Flag/Report option right under the problem post. That will bring it to the attention of staff or human moderators who'll take read and act on it next time they're online.)

    I'd offer friendship myself, but I'm at a very different age/stage as well as being kind of a flakey MFP friend. (I'm a li'l ol' lady, twice your age, retired, no kids, in maintenance post weight loss. Maybe the only thing we have in common is that you mention 50 pounds to lose, which is approximately what I lost using MFP around 10 years ago now. 😉. This app can help a person get there, for those whose style it suits!

    Best wishes for success!
