Hi, I just recently turned 50 and decided it's time to lose the weight I've been struggling with for the past twenty years. I'd love some friends around the same age to look to for inspiration and support. Thanks

    Hi! My name is Kim and my weight loss journey began two years ago. I was at my heaviest (225) and things were not good. I couldn't keep up with my kids, I was tired all the time, and my doctor told me that my cholesterol was on the rise! I decided something needed to change. I started walking, and eventually doing some weight training. I am down over 65 pounds! I feel so much better, and I love supporting and encouraging people to do the same. I would be happy to be an accountability partner with you. I still have some weight to lose, so we can work at it together! Getting your nutrition under control is a big key to losing weight. I can share what has worked for me if you are interested. If you work hard, I know you can reach your goal! So what do ya say? Are you in? If so, send me a buddy request.

    Hi, I'm Debra. I started MFP a couple years ago and have slowly lost 30 lbs by changing my lifestyle rather than dieting. I'm 51, have 2 boys mostly out of the house, a husband, career, and am pretty active. Feel free to friend me; I have a bunch of friends in this age group who are so supportive -- they have been a big part of my success. Friend me and you'll meet them too!

    Hi whiskers, You can add me. I am 28 and have been working on myself for just over 11 months. I have lost around 70 lbs and I am 40 lbs from my goal. I also have a support and motivation group that you can join on MFP. It is called TDNation support. If you do not know how to find it you can send me a message and I can add you. Best of luck on your journey.
