    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.

    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.

    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! :smile: I'm in Scotland (UK) and looking to lose at least 50lbs, maybe a bit more.

    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!

    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?
