    My name is Theresa, I am 62 years old and have been with MFP for a few months now. I have just a small group of friends who are similar-aged of whom I am very happy to support and encourage every single day through this journey, who are willing to return the same and help me through this struggle. I would like to add you to my friends ~ please feel free to add me if you wish. Good luck on this journey ~ I look forward to getting to know you!!

    I'm 64, cannot exercise due to MS and wheelchair bound. Doing OK logging food but doubt weight loss at suggested cals. I can only access scale every 6 months. Next weeks the time. I guessed at start weight. I'm a busy, upbeat person. Could use pals.

    Hi, I'm Joanne and just joined the group today. I have about 35 pounds to lose but I never get past a few days of healthy eating and exercise. I need some support. Can you help me. I also struggle the most with breakfast. I need a breakfast that lasts. Any ideas?

    I'm 60 and have been on MFP in earnest since October and have gotten to my goal weight (plus one pound for good measure). There are some wonderful members in our age group. It's nice to connect with people who understand some of the challenges of getting and staying fit over age 60. And, I just had a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago! I'm getting in some great work outs during my recovery guided by my wonderful physical therapist!

    Feel free to add me!

    Hi,

    My name is Pam. I am 63. Just found out I have GERD-silent reflux. Very strict diet of foods/drinks that contain no acids.
    What a challenge! I just joined this group in Jan 2013. Lost 28# since Dec.
    Also just had some corrective foot surgery in Dec. So just getting to a position where I can walk and exercise again. My diary is open so take a look and see what you think.
    I live in Duncan, Ok. (Southwest of OKC, OK). Need some pals in my age category. That might be fun. See you soon!!

    I'm over 60 in fact I'm closing in on 70 really fast. I'll be 69 in a couple of months. This is my first day here and I'm still trying to figure out everything. Think I have the food tracking down but I'm spending way too much time on the computer when I should be moving around. Will be fun getting to know you.
