Looking for a few "older" friends

You can friend me. I just started and posted looking for friends that are post menopausal.

I would love to have people that are of my age and understand the limits and changes that we incounter.

Is 52 considered old to an almost 60 yr old? I can be friends with any age of people but I do understand the feeling of trying to keep up with the 20 -30 somethings.....I am looking for friends too....Although I cannot be on here all day I do try to keep up with it. I may not be able to support and comment 24/7 but do like the friendship it brings. Feel free to add me.

I'm a few years younger than you (43) but would welcome the friend request. Age is just a number right Ok, don't smack me :laugh:

feel free to friend me. I am 54

Anyone...feel free to friend me....do really like MFP...have only been on for 12 days...but I feel it is working for me. Would like a few more "older" friends. I'm a young 70 and still have a lot of living to do!

I just turned 64 last month. I'll be glad to be one of your friends. I joined MFP Oct 2011 and have lost 19 pounds. Its not much but at least I haven't gained.

Hi there. I, too, am a post polio survivor. I am 63 and like you spend a lot of time sitting. I have worn a long leg brace all my life and have walked with crutches for the past 5 years. Now I have gotten on a food supplement (they say I can't say what it is) and have been using it since March 3. I am down 25 pounds since then. My triglicerides are down 100 points and my liver enzymes are down 20 points. But, I can now walk without my crutches!!!!! We just got a small dog and I can actually walk him without having to use crutches. So, it is getting me out of my chair, out of the house, away from my computer, and doing a little exercise.

I just heard about this site so am really excited to use it. I have kind of plateaued and need some extra incentive. Thanks, Carla H, for telling me about it.

Hope to hear back from any other post polio survivors. I was stricken at age 7 months so have never known anything else. Just need to get moving and get several more pounds gone.

I would love to be an ispiration to the "older" crowd. I am soon to be 56 years. Two years ago I could barely walk thru the door at the gym, I had high blood pressure, newly diagnosed diabetes, and just felt tired all the time and it depressed me. Today.... I have lost over 180 lbs,am free of all meds, I RUN 5-7 miles everyday, and feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life. The answer is diet, execise, and sheer determination powered by the strength of my Creator.

62 here and i've been a member for about 6 months now. Lost 29lbs before finding MFP. Lost another 6lbs so far. I have no real ailments except high BP and have been able to cut medication in half from the weight loss alone. (feeling blessed here) I do interval cardio training on the treadmill (80% zone) for 20 minutes 4 times a week. I've not felt the need to friend anyone so far but maybe I should start? Can't hurt right????

I am 53 years old and from Austin, Texas. Been on MFP since June. I have about 60 lbs to lose, so I am here for the long haul Any of you are welcome to add me as a friend.

Thanks, Linda

I'll hit the big 70 next year but don't feel like it. I am 6'3, 222 lbs. & my goal is 200. 3 months ago I was 258 . Joined MFP recently at 230 and lost 8 lbs. Do cardio 5x/wk and strength building 3x/wk (machines). No friends thus far but would like some to give me incentive and encouragement. You can add me.

Hi....I'm 53 and you can friend me if you like. I love MFP...discovered it about five months ago.

Hi Lynn,
My name is Eileen, and I just came across your message here. I'm already past you, I'm 65, but very young at heart! My body isn't, it feels like it's a hundred and ten years old...lol...Wow, I sure wish that I only had 10 pounds to lose...I want to lose at least 86-95 pounds. But I know it's gonna be a long journey, but I'm determined to do it this time..

If you'd like, I would love to be friends with you and give eachother support. The more the merrier, and the more, the easier to do it and succeed.

I've heard so much about MFP, but what is it???? Someone tried to tell me, but for some odd reason that part of her reply was cut off or something to that effect. I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what it is and what it does!?

Thanks so much and hope to hear from you soon...God bless you

Just signed on to MFP. I am 68 years old and way into the obese category. I need to have knee replacement soon. It is really important that I get some weight off before and after the surgery. Right now exercise is limited to my chair exercise videos. I can hardly wait to be able to walk again.

I just noticed MFP has me joining March, 2011 which I did but never did anything with it till this past March. All the weight lost has been from this March.
