    MUCH older than most of you, and after about 173 "tries" I've lost about 78 pounds, 66+ of them here at MFP. My mantra is "don't TRY to do it, DO IT".
    Seems to be working for me. I'll be celebrating a year of success on April 17.

    Hello. I've been looking for a blog such as this and am glad to have found it. I am 73 years old and pretty active. I do have some disc problems in my back but try to exercise as much as I can. I think that if I can lose some weight, I will be able to do a lot more things. I have great control over my eating during the week, but like some of you I struggle with eating on the weekends. I'm hoping that I will get some helpful ideas from others that have the same problem.

    Hi ladies...I've been reading all the messages about not finding the group. It is up and running. I got my invite last night and accepted it. To find it, check under the message boards, not under the groups. Under message boards, click on the home page. Scroll down to Group Forums, and any groups you have joined are listed there. Gals 55+ etc. is there. Just click on it. Hope this helps!!

    Steppingstone, Laurajayne, Sodakat, : You should have got a personal invitation to the new titled group site. Look at the top of your home page for a red #1 beside it is an envelope , click on it!

    I will pop in once in a while to see if anyone else is having difficulty finding the new group siting. It is by invitation only as I have typed in all the 43 members of this thread to be invited. over half have already found & joined it. Hoping more will do so. But sorry to those who have just found this site I will not be adding more names at this time. Hope you can find another group to get the support you need! Josie

    Hi Josie I had an invite pop up and I didn't do anything and it marked it declined. Fro me it's Murphy's law anything that can go wrong will. I will try to find it.
    I think it's a great idea to limit the size of the group.

    Is the message one that asks you to install a program to read it?

    No there is no message asking to install anything, just an invitation to join our group: GALS 55+ & 75LBS+ TO LOSE.
    I have sent another invite to you Steppingstone & Sodakat.
    Go to My Home, at the very top of the page it says:
    MyFitnessPal Hi____________ your user name then beside that is an envelope & box that should show red with a #1
    click on that! Then there should be an invitation to this group & you except!

    As long as we keep commenting on this thread it will not close down, so I will only check back in the next few days.
    One lady did not get an invitation either, I do not understand it as I sent one out to every one who commented on this thread. But she just went to the Message Board, scrolled down to "Groups" & clicked on our group name & got to the group site because I had included her name. Maybe you could try that too?? She has been able to comment several times too.

I do not know any other way to get you there. Please do not leave any more messages on the other thread under Motivation & support, this thread. Thanks, Josie
