    Hello Everyone ! Friends call me Jules, I'm 55 and been with MFP for about 2 years. As of the first of the year, i am now using a FitBit alongside MFP to help me loose 15 pounds to get to goal (which could be the hardest weight to loose). so please respond to me and add me to your 'friends list' ! We all need the support of each other. :)

    I just joined yesterday. After losing over 55 lbs on WW about 10 yrs ago, I've been maintaining. But due to life circumstances this past year (my husband passed away) the pounds starting creeping back on. I want to try something new (other than WW) that might inspire me and keep me on track. My goal is to lose 15 lbs (20 would be a dream...I'm typically unrealistic). Since I now live alone and there is no one here to hold me accountable, I'm certainly looking for online support. Plus, I'm 51 and the weight is so much harder to lose now than it was 10 years ago.

    I'm 54, but will be 55 in April. Been on MFP since 2013. Looking to lose between five to seven pounds. I have finally learned the secret that exercise is more for being fit rather than weight loss and weight loss is about a well balanced diet and self-discipline. Feel free to add or message me if you need encouragement.

    Hi! I will be 52 next month and would love to have friends around my age to be on this journey with. Have always gone up and down with my weight, but being at my highest weight and a health scare recently has made me open my eyes to wanting to get healthy. Feel free to friend me so we can be there for each other and do this together! :)

    I will be 55 in May. Super shocked last year to find myself at my highest weight (what I weighed when pregnant 19 years ago). Working my way back down. I was a size 10 and feeling pretty good at 50. Too much stress at work and financial hit due to furlough just did me in. To avoid the stress eating after work every day, I am doing the protein smoothie thing for dinner. Trying to get exercise when I can. Tracking my food made me realize just how much :blushing: I was really eating.

    Hi, I'm going to be 50 this fall. I just joined (AGAIN) a day ago. Only this time I have more weight to lose. I love the fact that MFP can come right along with me via my phone ap. It sure helps me to decide how I'm going to use my precious calories each day. Please feel free to add me. I would love to help keep each other on track. We can do this!!!!!

    I would love to be added as a friend I started back at this several months ago and I just keep losing and gaining the same 10 lbs! For my healths sake I have to lose over 100 lbs actually 140 lbs! To make matters worse I broke my hip Mar 3rd, so I'm in a wheelchair because they fixed it not replaced it, more recovery time for broken bones. So right now I am concentrating on eating healthy. Workouts will come later. So l'm w/u I can use all the friends I can get.
