    I just turned 53 and would love to lose 30 pounds in 30 weeks. I'm brand new to Mfp and I got a fitbit force bracelet and a fitbit aria scale for Christmas. I'm so ready to lose the spare tire. I'm looking forward to having online friends for help, advice and support. I can hardly wait to get started!!!

    Count me in, too. I'm 58 and would love to lose 40 pounds in 2014. My body feels my current age, but inside I'm still 21; I would like the outside to match the inside age.

    I'm 63, retired in May of 2013 and gained 20 lbs! My goal is to lose 30 lbs this year. I've joined a gym to increase activity. I just found this site and am hoping it helps. I would love to be a part of this group!

    I'm game. I turn 48 in a few months and need to lose 100 lbs. So I will take on the challenge of losing a pound a week minimum.

    I turn 50 this month and need to lose 30lbs. Would love to have a support group. A challenge to lose a lb per week would help keep me on track. I have a Fitbit Flex and am trying to up my exercise daily. I'm averaging 6000 steps daily.

    For this group, should we start counting down from the day/date we started here and post our progress? It's something we used to do on another site and it helped people get into the spirit (and a bit of competitive challenge). Each person would add to the entry and follow by quoting until week 40 .. you make an entry every time you weigh in; eg;

    spiffy -1, -3, 0 = 4
    dingle -3, 0, 0, -1.5 = 4.5
    garp 0, +3, +9, -1 = +11

    any thoughts? recommendations? :-)
