    I will soon be 59, and need to lose 70+ lbs....you can friend me.

    It is so much harder now to lose this extra weight, but I MUST. This morning I woke up and was stiff. I have arthritis, and have had a right hip and left knee replaced. I DON"T WANT ANYMORE, ANYTHING REPLACED.

    I am 73 and I force myself to get 5,000 steps a day. Sometimes I just do some just sitting & kicking my legs. I put the counter on my shoe or in a pocket. You can also move your arms when sitting. I have bursitis in both shoulders, but push through just to keep circulation going. Hope this helps you. God Bless.

    Hi, I am 63 and need to lose over 70 lbs. I just joined a group to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. This would be a great motivation and a starter. I have been on MFP since Aug 2012, but then I fell and broke my hip, had no access to a computer, so I was off of MFP until Aug 2013. Now I'm trying to lose once again or should I say changing my LIFESTYLE OR A NEW JOURNEY. You are welcome to friend request me if you like. :smile: :flowerforyou:

    If you need motivation I'll be right here.

    Good Luck,

    Linda

    Hello everyone. Hope today is a BEAUTIFUL day for everyone. :drinker: Drink your water!

    WE CAN DO THIS. Like some others, I am in this for the long haul. I will get my profile and picture up soon. I was on MFP since Jan, but thought I lost interest, so I deleted my site. THEN after a few days, decided that I MISSED it! SO I am back.
