in Introduce Yourself
I am a 53 year old mom, grandma & paralegal trying to kick the habit of yo yo dieting. I need an accountability partner to keep me consistent with planning healthy meals, portion control, walking every day & stop late night snacking! If anyone is looking for the same, let me know ☺️

    Hi! It definitely looks like the 50+ group, so I’m in! I’m a home health nurse and mom to 5 kids. I’ve gained weight the past few years due to hormones and stress and I’m looking to loose 50 lbs as well. I’d love to have an accountability partner too. You can add me if you like. Thanks and good luck with everyone’s weight goals!

    I am 53 and have been losing without logging or relying on outside support since last april after gaining a lot of weight due to medicines and illness. I am down 42.5lbs and at a healthy BMI, but still would like to lose some more to get closer to an ideal weight, and then maintain - both of which I find harder than the actual losing of the weight. Would love to check in with folks in a similar age group and on similar paths.

    I need to start exercising again more regularly and track food and drinks here. If I could figure out how to post a photo I would suggest we post photos of something from our walks when we check in, or maybe what we were listening to/thinking of/inspired by that got us out there

    I think we could all use accountability partners (50 yo here). If you are 40+ and interested in fitbit challenges and things of that nature, just for fun, feel free to send me a friend invite. Best of luck to everyone here ... always remember ... no matter how many bad decisions we have made ... or how many times we have fallen off the wagon ... the next decision is the one that matters ... a couple good decisions in a row and we are on a streak ... we got this peeps!!!

    hi guys

    im not in 50 group hehe can i still join you? :)

    43 and since i was 14 i started the radical diet/binge cycle. im now 76kg and have been 100kg, have been 50kg. goal is to be around 64/65kg.
    lately, with covid, ive been struggling to maintain a healthy diet, but i am not giving up. have been reading a self therapy book on food addiction and its really helping, i just need to stop with the self sabotage.

    also.... a question for the ladies: idk if its just me, but do you feel uncomfortable as you lose weight, that guys start staring at you when you are outside? i noticed that makes me feel uncomfortable as i
    lose weight around my waist. but maybe its just me :)

    hugs to you all!

    In the same boat with everyone else! Feel free to add me as a friend. I log on every day -- lost 45 pounds and then stopped logging -- just started back this month. Looking forward to losing another 50 pounds or so!

    Love the grands!! Seems that a lot of us want to be healthy. I belong to the 2022 Spring 5% Challenge and many of us are in our 60s, 70's , some in their 80s!! Plus some younger ones. Being older I do lose weight slower, but that's okay!! It's coming off!!

    Want to join a team with others who are just like us? Support you count on and it's very motivating, at a pace we can each do. If you are new to exercise, please do not push it, we do not recover as easily, we also work on healthy habits, which is GRAND such as drinking water, tracking food being thankful etc.

    I'm a 62 retired nurse. I would love to have partners on this journey. MFP is great when I use it and don't get slack. Feel free to add me as a friend. My diary is public. I am committed to log the good, bad and hopefully not ugly. Good luck to us all!

    Hello everyone 👋🏻. I’m new here and I’ll like a few people to add me for accountability. I’ve heard good things and I’m looking forward being involved.

    Please, may I join? I also struggle with accountability and yo yo-ing. I jokingly tell people I've lost the same 25-30 lbs at least 25-30 times. After I lose it I start looking for it all over again because it's so much fun trying to find it! Lol
    I am a 61yo mother of 5 and GM of 8. I sit in a chair all day, have trouble with tendinitis in my foot, am T2, have everything (BG, Bp, Cholesterol...) that can be high, high, and just plain don't like to exercise (being honest).
    Have I convinced y'all yet that I need help? 😁
    I live in Western NC on a river.
