Looking for 50 year old friends

So - I just turned 50 (even as I type that, it doesn't seem quite real). I am back on the weight loss journey, hoping to lose 50 pounds. I have an office job, so my days are mostly spent at my desk. I am looking for similar friends for motivation and support.

    I just turned 50 in December 2016. I started this journey on 1/2/16 and by the time I arrived at my birthday where I turned 50 I had lost 160 Lbs. (Now 182) I still have 81 left to go so I will be here for a while. You are welcome to add me.

    Hi I am 51 and have 70 more lbs to lose. I need help. I am going on a cruise in 200 days and am afraid these hips won't fit in an airline seat. I find it hard to get to the gym when there are so many other things that need my attention
