    Hi, late to the party. Could I join your group. Turning 57 this week. Lost 35 originally but gaining back fast after a stressful year. Currently 147.5 but need to be at 132. I don't know why it's harder this time, but I think it's all about being accountable.

    Welcome! Sorry, what's "bc"?

    Welcome! I agree regarding accountability. That's why I'm here too!

    Good morning Ladies! Hope all are doing well this week! So I've been watching this Discussion and also the Group, became friends with all but TiluKiKi (trying to send request but not working) and new joiners. Here's what I'm thinking...

    Kinda concerned if the "Group" gets too big because I feel like accountability will be harder or lost. What would be different than the whole of MFP community? There will be to many to track unless we break into teams or limit members (allow additions when there are openings). The point is accountability and you need to watch your friends progress and help with struggles. We are all busy so keeping it smaller would be easier. (new ladies, still welcome. No worries🙂)Would love your thoughts on this...

    The reason I made "Weekly Stats" discussion is so we can quickly reference progress. After watching our activity, I think it's best if we keep that sorta clean from lots of daily comments and I think that'll work. A couple comments/cheers after each new stats post is fine.

    Watching how the posting is going on my individual diary/home account, it seems to be the best place for the daily support comments. We can still post specific discussions in the group if needed. I've really not used the "friends" function of MFP yet so I'm still figuring out. And I've not used the Comments/ "What's on your mind" option either. Just a food tracker til now😉.

    Tell me your thoughts please. 🙂

    I am no longer in my 50's, but rather 61. I hope I can still join :) I was diagnosed to Type 2 Diabetes in February and it has been a struggle to not only lose weight, but drop my sugar levels. I've lost 18.5 lbs since then and have been going to the gym with a friend. I need accountability!!!

    Yes of course! Its 50+ and welcome! We share your struggle. Sorry to hear about diagnosis. Be encouraged. My husband was critical when he was diagnosed and was able to get it under control just by watching his diet. They took him completely off insulin and meds.

    Hello! I would love to join. Im 53 and have been trying to lose those pesky 10 pounds. I can’t rely completely on exercise and haven’t been successful even with logging into MFP. I do best with shared accountability.

    Is everyone able to request to find the group "Women 50+ Group Support" and request access? I'll send invites if not.

    Also, please see my post above about how we move forward. I really think we need to limit our group until we are settled on how well the accountability is working. Thank you!

    So glad to find you all!!
