Just joined MFP and a new challange. Looking for support from others like me. I am in my early 50s and loosing weight is harder than ever. I've always been told that I am fat and ugly, so that also plays a huge role in how I see myself. Started walking a while back and even completed a 5k. Then injured my knee and was out of commission for a while. Would love to connect with you!

    Hi there I'd love to be friends and help encourage each other. I've been on and off MFP but trying to get back at it. I'm 52 and have 30ish lbs to lose. I walked a mile today with the Leslie Sansone cd and it felt great!

    I'm still trying to learn how to use MFP. Can you send me a friend request? I just turned 53 and have about 50ish lbs to loose.

    Hi - How mean those people are to refer to you in derogatory terms. I was 49 a few months ago. I have an elliptical at my house, and a very supportive husband - who is also getting fit along with me. I have about 50 pounds I want to lose. I'm a Leslie Sansone fan, too! Just did her mile off her youtube channel.

    Hi there! I am approaching 50 and YES the weight does not drop off like it used to. I was on MFP a couple of years ago and met my goal - it is a tremendous help and easy to use anywhere you are for logging food/exercise. I had surgery done back in October and have managed to gain weight from both that and the holidays that needs to go. Let's be friends and encourage each other to the finish line... we can do this!

    Hello I hope you will allow a 60 year old in your group. I have lost 24 pounds since May and I need to lose another 45. I love fitness classes and because I am retired I can go to two a day (step, power yoga, spin, weights) Anyone who calls someone else names has a big problem. Believe in yourself ignore the haters.

    Thanks for the support everyone! I still have not figured out how to send friend request so if you all could send a friend request to me I will accept it. And, I will accept encouragement from any age group. Haha
