Hello, i am very excited to find this group. I am 69 and have struggled with weight for most of my life. Have tried everything from WW to therapy but still I eat as an escape from difficult feelings. I do think MFP can help if I log in every bite I eat. It makes automatically control what I eat if I have to confess to myself. There are many issues I would like to discuss with others at the same lifestage.

    Hello sloshmog and welcome to the group.

    we are a friendly bunch here and we all have the same problems. It is not as easy as it used to be to burn those calories but with a bit of organisation, some good friends on here and MFP it is possible.

    I wish you luck in reaching your goal. If we all stick together and work hard it will happen.

    Welcome sloshmog! Pretty friendly group here.

    Can I ask what are some of your goals beyond weight loss? I mean, that is certainly enough but you might have other interesting goals.

    Welcome, we all struggle with the same problems. However everyone is very supportive here which is very helpful on those days things just don't go as well as expected.

    Welcome, Sloshmog,

    I have been a member for 60 days now -- this time. What is different than all the other times is that I decided to become part of the community. I've made myself vulnerable and, as a result, my new friends have welcomed me into their lives. I hope you find what you are looking for and that you journey is one of success.

    Lyndal

    P.S. My oldest son and his family live in Brooklyn.

    Welcome to the group.I have been a member for quite some time but have not been active but my weight is slowly creeping up. So I think it's time to kick things in gear. One day at a time.
