I have been dieting/ walking for 2 months because "everything" was was falling apart. I have probably lost 20 lbs- I was too afraid to face the scale- now I found this wonderful app I can eat without worry! Glad to find a group my age ( 61 in 3 days)
I did finally weigh myself and it's all ok! Really just want to feel good.

    Welcome, we are a supportive and friendly group here, men and women. We have some threads you might want to read. What's working, interesting reads, recipes and tips, and of course a monthly challenge, you decide what your challenge is and report on your progress.

    Do you use an activity tracker, so you can see your calories burned? Or just walking because it is an enjoyable form of movement?

    Hi there and welcome....this is a great group of gorgeous, young at heart, international rebels......we will not be put in the "old" box! lol

    I walk every day just because it's a great and easy form of exercise which I can do at any time...outdoors or even indoors .... I also swim and do Zumba when I can get myself to the local sports centre .....all good!! :)

    I am not tracking except through the MFP app. I walk on my treadmill and do some light weights. I live in the country and it is 3 hilly miles to the mailbox so I walk that weather permiting. Nice to "meet" you all!
