Looking for a support group: Over Fifty, Female and Fun!
Replies

I would love to join in! I am 55 and have been doing MFP for a while. I was doing good, but have had a setback and need to start over once again!
This is the first time I join a thread--I think the added support might make a difference for me. Thanks for starting this up! Looking forward to hearing from people I can definitely relate with. :happy:0 -
There are a few groups of that kind already on here....check this one out...

Congratulations to you! Many people say losing weight at 50 is harder. I know they are right, but when you hear that comment so often you start thinking maybe it's impossible. I love it when women 50 and older share their success. It is a real motivator. Thanks for sharing!0

Hi All, I am 55 and would love to share the journey. I'd lost 82 lbs but sadly have gained back 30 of it in the past six months. I'm determined to get back into food journaling and back on track with eating healthy. Could use all the support I can get and I love reading about others success because it helps motivate me.

54 and looking to loose weight, so I need the support from all of you! I am looking forward to join this group. I need the support that I don't get at home. I had surgery and it left me with a foot drop, numbness, and pain. I am on crutches the rest of my life. I need to loose the weight because all the weight is on my right leg and my two arms. So far I have lost 6.4 pounds. I have a long ways to go but I have the strength and mindset to do this. Good luck to all, and keep on keeping on.0

Hey Granny Pat,
This is Granny Brenda who supports you. I also need to loose so much needed weight. I get up every morning praying this is another good day, and I don't let food control me but I controll the food intake. Let's give each other support, I don't get it at home so I need this support. I am a granny of 7 with twins on the way.0 -

I didn't say it wasn't OK.......I was just suggesting checking out an existing group.0 -
Sorry Jon...didn't mean to offend. Just looking for some support! Good luck on your journey!
Have a great one!!!!
Hey! What about me???
I was offended* too!
Ha ha! Glad you weren't too offended! Just glad us gals have a place to chat!
*okay, not really...but still, you couldn't have known that I wasn't truly offended.0 -
This is a sexist thread...
Sexist, probably, but equal opportunity. You can start your own post for over-50 men who are looking for a support group ... or if you like talking about menopause, water retention, etc. you can hang out here ... Just the fact that you are reading a topic titled Over Fifty, Female and Fun says it all bud!! :laugh:
It's not sexist "probably"...and no, I support everyone and don't wish to start a different male sexist thread to balance out this one. Also don't have a problem reading a topic that is "Looking for a support group: Over Fifty, Female and Fun!" Since it didn't say "Over Fifty, Only Females and Fun". And you're not my bud.
Hey Jon, better grow a thicker skin AND a sense of humor if you are going to last in this community. MFP is full of folks who will jump all over you if you can't figure out when someone is joking with you ... Good luck to you ~ and to you to jofjltncb6 ...0 -

What kind words…better grow a thicker skin AND a sense of humor if I'm going to last in this community? So mentioning that a comment is sexist means not only don't I have a "thick" skin, nor a sense of humor AND I am now not going to make my weight loss and fitness goals? Wow…that's just lovely and right around the holidays! The issues aren't mine for pointing them out. You clearly have issues. You will notice that I am not the one to make the comments personal. I only suggested my opinion that a comment was sexist. I am here to support all sexes and all ages on their weight loss and fitness goals. But, that's just me. And by the way, you don't even know me, so perhaps you should refrain from making suggestions about me. You will notice that I still haven't made any personal suggestions for you.
I also noticed that you didn't quote the OP or my last comments where we wished each other well on our journeys. Guess that didn't fit your comment…or maybe your just a last work freak.
I wish you well in your journey.0 -
There are a few great groups for women of a certain age. I belong to several. PM me for links.
Regardless, best of luck on THIS particular journey!0 -
I'd like to join this group. I love fun
... I'm 52 and female AND I for sure need encouragement. 0 -

[So far, so good...]

Sounds great to me! Count me in. I go back to the Dr tomorrow to check high cholesterol, low thyroid and non exsistant testosterone levels. Does any one know if this adds to how difficult it can be to loose weight at 49 ?

I'm in at 50, female, fat, but fun! LOL! Ready to start this journey one more time. Looking for a different approach than my failed attempts at WW, JC, Atkins, South Beach... I've lost from them all, then the weight crept back on and then some! This age and all of it's lovely changes sure makes the fitness lifestyle a bigger challenge than before. Except maybe that now I have more wisdom and maturity to do what I set my mind to.
Anyway, here's to a permanent lifestyle change and a new group of gals (and guys, if you can put up with us) to take the journey.0 -
Count me in the group. I will be 50 this year!0
-
I have just joined. A bit older than most at 62 but still fun (I hope). See you all around in the group.0
-
Please count me in!
56 and looking forward to continuing fab, fit, and fifty in 2014.0 -
Count me in! I qualify with the criteria at age 54, female and enjoying supportive friends in our fun journey to fitness.0

GREAT!!!
LOVE THIS!!!0 -
I'm 48 and pretty new to "actually using" my fitness pal. I have my own blog since 2012 to keep me accountable but I enjoy teaming up with like minded people to set a goal. I am 148 lb and would love to loose 10. I find my fitness pal a little confusing and would love join to interact with others. My blog is www.yo-yoeatingnomore@blogspot.com0

I friended a couple of you on here that responded but would love, and could use, some more friends!!! I am 51, weigh 185 pounds today (192 was my highest weight). My profile picture is of me today! UGH!!!! I actually sort of started 10 days ago but the BIG start is tomorrow, yep Christmas Day. My plan is to not count calories as it makes me obsessed and I binge! Eat lots of veges and protein and eliminate sugar, processed foods and my much loved beer!! I use to always say 'when I lose weight I will do (fill in the blank)" my attitude now is to pretend I am skinny and start loving and pampering the larger me!!! Good luck to you all!!0

Friend me! And show us lots of before and after photos! I need to lose 20 pounds as well.0
