Hi, I'm 50. And I need some additional support. I'm married, with children, grandchildren and live in Louisiana USA. I've been an on again/off again MFP'er for 2/3 years. I log daily, as honestly as possible, and I always comment and offer my support to all of my friends I currently have. I am realizing though that only 2 or 3 are actually offering me support in return unfortunately. Anyone interested, please feel free to add me, thanks :flowerforyou:

    Hi - I sent you a request. I will be 56 y.o. in August (yikes that number crept up on me), and have lost 60 lbs from last September to this past March. I am currently trying to maintain all that has been accomplished. Would love to get to know you on MFP and encourage your healthier adventure!!

    Hi 53 here always looking for new friends who are in my age group. I'm a runner and coffee addict with only about 10lbs to go, but they've been the hardest. I log on daily and keep an open diary. Anyone feel free to join me. :-)
