looking for friendly support @ 53 years old

Hi to everyone. I have just joined and aim to lose a stone by August for my daughters wedding.
All help and support gratefully received.
I find socialising a bit of a nightmare. I don't know if I can give up wine...
I work full time next door to the best baker in the town which doesn't help. Looking forward to trying this.
Give me some of your good tips and I will put them into action... I hope. x

    Hi vanfest1: You're in the right place. I'm a 51 year old lady, and MFP helped me lose 18 lbs in about 3 months. The great thing is you don't have to give up anything. If I want some chocolate, I eat some chocolate. I log everything and I am committed to exercising daily. Good luck to you and welcome to MFP.

    Hello vanfest1: My name is Leo, i am 28 years old. you don't have to give up wine. Red wines have been known to help lose weight, but you may not want to have more than 2 glasses a day. this app is very useful and i know that you will do great. :smile:
