in Introduce Yourself
I have slowly put on weight over the years and now need to turn it around. I just joined my fitness pal and am excited about the recording support as well as the opportunity to connect with others.

I would love to be in touch with others on the same journey for encouragement and accountability.

Let the journey begin! :)

    Had a health scare last Wednesday and it is about time I made some changes. Still trying to get rid of excess weight from being on steroids. So had new hair colour today and it is now the first day of healthy eating

    I am 61, but started MFP at 59 and 250 pounds (I'm 6'0"). I got the there the same way as you, gaining a little every year, but hitting 250 was one of those "milestones" that got me to look at myself. I got all the way down to 195, then I started slacking off, not logging religiously, putting off workouts etc. Put a lot off the loss back on. So I'm back, currently at around 220. Looking to get back to "onederland" again! I log in regularly so feel free to ad me if you would like.

    I am 60, just started using mfp. With my family back ground of strokes , diabetis, and heart attacks it is time to eat better and lose at least 40 pounds. I have been trying to count my carbs, drink more water. I was hooked on diet mt dew, especially a fountain drink, I am proud to say it has been 6 days No Mt Dew of any kind!

    I would love to be friends with all of you. :)

    Over 50. Just started mfp minutes ago. Also have menopause issues. I have fairly good food habits and used to exercise a lot. Now it's swimming only 3 times a week and I need to do more. Time to succeed!

    I'm 53 and would like to also be mutually supportive.... After major life changes in my late 40's and early 50's with a divorce, single parenting ..... menopause... move across country ... like many of us I put off being mindful of myself and packed it on to the tune of about 40 pounds. My job is stressful and I realize that I need to build in better balance .... I know that any change needs support and friends along the way. I've started logging just the food I am eating daily to build mindfulness.

    Hi there!

    I just turned 50 this past December and joined here in early January, so not quite a month yet.

    I have always battled my weight and know that I'm at my best when I work out and eat right. After a horrible year (my husband was gravely ill) where I didn't have time to take care of me, I put on quite a bit of weight. I decided now that he's better, it's time for me to get back into shape, so here I am. I started logging my food and working out five days a week.

    Please feel free to add me!

    I am over 50 and looking forward to making some progress in my eternal goal to lose weight. I use the Striiv app - which is FREE and links nicely to MFP. It offers me encouragement to walk another 100 steps or do 3 more minutes of activity that I find very encouraging. So feel free to add me on either MFP or Striiv.

    Adrian
