Hi, I guess I am on the same mission as everyone else here. I know it is more difficult to lose weight as you get older, but inside I am not ready for the way I look at the moment, and it is so difficult to lose it this time. I have lost 6 kg since a year ago, but picked one up again the last 2 weeks, because of my bad habits. I want to lose at least another 10kg, if possible.

Would anyone like to add me as a friend? I have a son who is 34 and weighs 150kg. He is also a member and has lost 8,5 kg since joining.

I live in Holland but am an ex-South African.

Looking forward to meeting some of you!

Regards

:grumble: I have been really struggling this month. Need some motivation. Looking for some new support

Welcome Carole. You will find that everyone in this group is very helpful and supportive. We love to encourage and help each other on this journey. Glad you decided to return. :drinker:

Hi I'm new to myfitnesspal and trying to loss 20lbs. I've been trying to loss 20lbs for more than 20 years. I'm 65 and very active, although i've been on many diets the scale does not move. Today I've had 2 protin shakes my log is telling me that I'm over on protin, should I worry about geting too much protin?

:happy: Just keep trying...don't ever give up!

I note not many people posting lately, so I hope to see some soon. I'm a 72 year old woman, wanting to lose a huge amount of weight that I've gained since retiring. I have a physical problem (spinal cord deterioration) that is keeping me from activities, but am now going to try to do something about the weight. I'm just tired of being FAT!

Hi, I'm Carol and I live in Colorado. I've been heavy on my life and for some reason now at the ripe old age of 66 I decided to seriously do something about it. I've been using this site for my month and a half now and I'm down 12 pounds, which makes me really happy. But the same time I now seem to be stuck in the spot where weight the same for at least the last two weeks. I'm really ready for things to change and wait to start dropping again. I have found MFP to be so supportive with all the people who are willing to help and encourage and be your friend. I'm willing to do the same thing for others I keep an open diary which I think helps me to stay honest. I also learn a lot by looking at other peoples diaries as well I'm glad I found this group and I think it can be a good spot for me and for others so thanks for having me. I log on every day and I'm going to be a very active supportive friend.

I'm Nanette, in the Pacific Northwest, not far from Portland, Oregon. I'm 72 and seriously trying to lose weight, have tried before to no avail. Is there a place I can join this discussion group? I'm fairly new to MyFitnessPal, but hope it's going to work for me.
My weight all came on in the last 15 to 20 years, following a spinal cord condition that kept me from hiking, walking, camping, all the things that apparently were keeping me slim.
I don't so much care what I'd look like at a thinner weight, but am looking for more energy, more ambition to do things.

hi Its Jan 24th now and I was hoping for some help with losing weight even one person would be nice to see here.

Glad you are getting help from a physical therapist. I have done the same and have lots of exercises that help my back issues.
Good luck. Not too many are using this group site , at the moment. It used to be a very active group but I think most found some friends and communicate on their home page. or left.

Good luck with your journey.

Hi everyone, new to this group, reach 70 in May, OMG!
Having some health problems, not weight related but need some weight off, weighing in at 84k today, shocked!

Hi ya'll from this Texas gal. Glad to find a 60 + group to read and post with. The age does make a difference in energy ...or lack thereof at end of the day I still work full time and will turn 65 in Dec. I am not an exercise person...losing my weight through MFP so I know what calories are consumed daily (yes even on bad days). Been with program about 2.5 months and have lost 18 lbs. It's slow but I don't feel deprived of what I choose to eat each day. I plan each day including desserts...Chick Filet ice cream is my favorite. I order a small cup and have it filled only 1/2 way....best 145 calories there is ...lol My intake is 1300-1350 cal per day. good luck with all your journeys....one day at a time is how I do it.

If anyone wants to add me as a friend please do. I am not doing so well on losing weight.
