Hello,
I joined MFP a while back, but have never participated in a group. As I was reading some of the posts, I kept thinking, That's Me! I would read another one and say, That's Me, Too! Suffice it to say, I believe many of us share the same struggles.
I am 51, 5'2" and need to lose 30-35 lbs. I lost 17 last year, and gained them all back, plus tax.
I'm married, have three adult children and currently care for my parents full-time.
Looking for friends who would like to walk with me on this journey. (You'll notice I didn't say run! Lol!)

Walking is my friend!!!!
I am 54, 5'5", have lost 23 pounds so far and have another 55 to lose. Three years ago, I lost 38 pounds, then moved and had many changes that added that back to my waistline! Part of my journey is to grow as much of my produce as possible to keep costs down. We also raise chickens for egg and meat production for our family.
Feel free to message and to share recipes! :-)5 -
5'3" and 55 started wanting to lose over 30 lb. 20 of which i gained in a year and a half on med. Now I have about 21 to go before i jump for joy but I have a feeling some of what I'm losing may come back because i always stall out. I have 2 adult boys and care for 32 special people not including my husband and 2 dogs ...oh and my bird. I almost just gave in and felt like ...I'm 55 to busy and who cares what i look like...thought i was gaining wieght got on the scale and low and behold 5lb. Were gone! On top of the 5 or 6 i lost before. Could it be true!? I checked on 2 different scales! And just like that...I'm back. I hate working out but i will if i have to. Weather permitting I'd rather garden for my excersize. I agree with you...alot of us are having the same challenges ...kind of comforting any way ...nice to meet you!

Hi there! I'm 56, 5'4" and starting my journey to lose 30 lbs. I am an empty-nester with three grown children. I really have no idea what I'm doing here (when it comes to losing weight) and I believe that's why losing weight has never "stuck" for me and/or I've always gone back to my old bad (but comfortable) habits. Just last Saturday I cleared out all things junk food out of my pantry, went to Whole Foods and bought a bunch of fresh, organic fruits and veggies. I figured this was as good a place as any to start! Now if I can just get this exercise thing down......
Wishing you a beautiful day!

Hello! I was doing so well this past year, and fell off the wagon. I am focusing on getting back on track and taking it one day at a time. I have done this once before, and know I can do it again! Feel free to add me.1

Hi! I just joined this group today. Let's help support each other. I'm getting ready to go into a stressful time of year. I eat for comfort and to relieve stress. I have some good momentum right now and don't want to go back into my old habits.reneeolson1 wrote: »Please add me. I joined 2 days ago and need all the support I can get. I need to loose 30lbs.

Joined a few days ago and am pleased to find a group of women over 50! I've got 20 to lose this year and another 20 next year.2

I need to lose about the same amount. I'm hoping for 10 by the end of the year. I don't know if that's possible, but I am going to try.1

Hi, I just started using MFP yesterday. I am 53 and am restarting my weight loss journey. I am hoping to find friends to keep me motivated. It always seems like a struggle to get my exercise into my routine, so I am just taking it one day at a time. I did meet my calorie and exercise goals yesterday, so feeling pretty good today.1
