I've been looking for a small group of friends for support. I got active in January but am having a hard time making the lifestyle changes necessary. I'm 55 and would like to send friend requests to all of you.0

I am sixy one so older than most on this site but just joined.
Started tracking at the beginning of the month but whenever I cheat, I tend to now fill in the diary.
Hopefully I am turning a new corner by even writing on a message board. A first for me.0 -
Fifty one here... and I want to lose 100 pounds by the time I am fifty three. I would love to join your group if there is room for another!0

Hi, will send you a friend request. I'm a couple of years away from 50, but it will be here before I know it, and I'd like to be in better shape by then! I'm in Scotland (UK) and looking to lose at least 50lbs, maybe a bit more. 0

I'd love for all of you to friend me as well.....I would like to lose about 25 pounds and it just gets so tough to drop the weight at 51.......I am so good about documenting everything and it is coming off sooooo slowly - I need the motivation as well!!
Looking forward to some new friends on here!!

I'm 53! Send me friend requests please! MFP is really sticky about not sending more than 5 friend requests out even though I tried to friend everyone on this thread!0

How about starting a group called "OVER 50 AND NOT GIVING UP"? then we could all join the group and we woulnt have to friend each member individually?0 -
Welcome to My Fitness Pal. I'm 59. It can be done. I have lost over 50 pounds so far since February 2011.0
-
Your story and my story are one and the same. I'm finding that the MFP tracker is helping me stay focused. Let's keep going! Friends welcome.0
-
Woops. My previous post was specifically in response to cmlucia.
Cruisngrl, I've got you beat by a year, but isn't it nice to find others in our age bracket here at MPF?0 -
50 here! Feel free to add me if you like!

Welcome! Add me if you want to. I am 58 and I am also not giving up even though the weight is coming off alot slower then when I was younger.0
-
Here I am, in the same boat as many of you. I am 53, and have been doing the diet yoyo for years. I really am serious this year, hopefully with your help I can do it.0
-
You are right not to give up! You can do it. I am 58 and I have lost over 65 pounds and now weigh what I did in my 20's. I also almost feel that young too! While the weight may come off slower over 50, it still comes off if you keep your calories down and exercise. Best of luck!0
-
Over 50. Loving it!! Working hard to get those extra pounds off and lead a healthier life-style. Anyone want to hook up as friends and give each other some support, please send a request. Wouldn't mind a strong support group!!0
-
I'm 60 next month - looking for friends to support me to loose the weigh and get fit. Please add me as we need all the support we can get 0
-
I am sending you a friend request as I am 54 and trying to lose 60 lbs. We can do this together!!! I am always looking for friends around my age too.
Hugs
