Hi! Have you had a chance yet to check out the new group for women over 50? That could be a great source:

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/139104-women-over-50-ready-for-2021

There are also some great challenge/support groups over in Motivation & Support.

I'm in your demographic (age 65), but have to admit that I'm not the greatest support on the "MFP friend" side of things - more of a Community forum kind of gal, myself.

Hoping you can find the support you need, though!

I’m turning 50 in Feb, I feel like an old lady need to change my diet and way of life as I can’t continue the way I am, it’s not good for me or my health. Need to crack on.
So I’m here if you need support xxx

I'm sending a friend request. I'm a woman of a certain age remotivating myself for the new year.

Hi, I'm 62 and just fed up with feeling so unfit and fat. The last two years I have leaped in weight.
I would love to join.

I would love to hear more of @AlaskaSusan and @conniewilkins56 stories.

I think women in this age range need the extra storytelling motivation because we’ve been shrugged off and told it’s “too late” or “you can’t do it because of _fill in the blank___” age, hormones, lack of hormones, blah blah blah.

Would you ladies mind sharing more?

I have written a lot of posts in the Larger Losers group....I am a binge eater and sometimes it’s really hard to do this....I joined May 28, 2019 at 350 lbs and now weigh 247 lbs....I gained a few lbs over the holidays....I am large framed and I am 5’9” tall....I did no exercise until this past summer...the weather is cool in Florida right now but I have been swimming 5 days a week for 90 minutes....friend me if you would like....I am loving my journey back to good health....
