My name is Sharon and I have been on MFP since Sept. 2012. I am here every day and log my food every day, also. I've lost 32 pounds.

I'm always looking for people in my own age group. I feel that we have different challenges than the younger ones.

So, if anyone would like to add me as a friend, please feel free to do so. I will support you and maybe kick you in the butt when you need it. I've been kicked a few times myself.

Thanks for having this group for all of us to help each other along the way.

Sharon

    Hi, my name is Droelma and this is just my second day here. I agree with you in that we more " mature " folks have a different set of struggles to content with. I really admire all the weight check tickers in this thread with all those wonderful amounts of weight lost. I have a long way to go ( I would like to lose 35 kilos/ about 75 pounds ) but am optimistic and willing to accept any support given to me as well as extending a helping hand whenever needed.

    Welcome to both newbies - I do agree - we older folks have a harder time losing, but it can be done! You can both add me as a fried - I try to get on every day even though sometimes it is late!

    Sharon and Droelma, Welcome to the Sassy Seniors group (OK, that's not official, I just made it up!). I, too, think we over 60's have some unique challenges, so am always happy to add new friends among my peers. Anyone is free to add me, if we're not already friends.

    My name is Mary Ann, I joined MFP in Jan. 2013, and have lost 35 lbs. The support on here is tremendous, I know I couldn't of lost this much weight alone. I log every day, sometimes late, as I own and operate a restaurant, time does not always allow me to get on to early.. I also am in that "60ish" crowd, although i really don't feel and act like it... Anyone is free to and me as a friend. Welcome to you Sharon and Droelma!!!
