    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

    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?
