55 new and would like support

watchline

Hi,

This is not something I normally do, reaching out on line like this, but I have been trying to lose 50 plus pounds for a couple of years. I get going and do fine for a couple of months and cave in under stress. I have come to realize that what I lack is support. I know about all the diets and different exercise plans, heck I use to teach an aerobics class some 30 years ago. I’m 55 and I want to get healthy again. Getting older seems to have made it harder to lose. It would be nice to meet and make friends who are or have been struggling like me. I could use some encouragement and I would like to encourage others. I have been using MFP for about 4 months off and on and want to work harder at losing weight.
