Yup, the time has come when I no longer want to look like Father Christmas or a xmas pudding. I've probably left it too late to be a sexy surfing star but it really is time to change me into someone happier, healthier and fitter. Is losing 100lbs too much to want? I thought not 
I'd appreciate making 'friends' with other people of a similar age or outlook that need to make big lifestyle changes.

Go ahead an add me if you like. I would love to be losing weight partner
I just started as well, and I wanted to lose half of what you want to lose, but I just want to be in the healthy zone because I suffer from heart disease at such a young age.. I just want to get to a healthy weight. then once I am there I will make plans to lose more.0 -
I am not your age.
I am not trying to lose weight.
But if you need a friend to encourage you, support you & be tough on you when needed... add me!0 -

In my late 60s [ok nearly 70] and have around 60 odd lbs to lose. Your posting chimes with me as I was once asked to be Father Christmas as I already had a big belly & a beard. Did not stop me eating or drinking though0
