Just turned 60 and need encouraging friends

NebWoman

I just turned 60 on May 7th and just now joined this community in hopes that I can lose weight
and get some encouragement by emailing (on this site) to each other how we're doing. I would
like to find woman that are 50 and up because I'm thinking we would have similar metablic problems.
I work part time, have been married for 40 yrs (in June) to the same man and we have one son and
no grand kids. We do have a dog and 2 cats.

Hi, I'm 50 and joined in Jan. To date, lost 27 lbs. Not finding it too hard to lose weight this time (I've been on weight watchers several times) and noticed it's all in portion control. Started making vegetable/fruit shakes to help with cravings and snacks. Good luck on yr journey.

Hi! I turned 60 in February. I'm still working and have no plans to retire. I'm seeing a MD who is a weight loss specialist. I would love a new friend to accompany me on my weight loss journey.

Thanks for responding to my post! :flowerforyou:
