    Hiya. I too have Fibromyalgia and other underlying illnesses which don't really help in me trying to get fit and lose weight too. I'm 58. Add me by all means. I could do with some like-minded friends on here to help " get things in the road" xx

    Hi, and welcome!

    You might find some like-minded encouraging folks on this thread:

    Don't be dismayed if you open it up and see old posts: It's been going on a long time, and is still active. The new posts are at the end, on higher numbered pages.

    I used MFP to lose 50+ pounds back in 2015-16 (class 1 obese to healthy weight) when I was 59-60, so this can definitely be a helpful tool IMO. (I'm 66 now, maintaining a healthy weight since then.)

    I admittedly don't have the extent of health challenges that you do, but weight loss and getting stronger have made very significant improvements in my quality of life when it comes to osteoarthritis and some other joint problems. Discomfort/pain are much reduced in both severity and frequency.

    Wishing you success!

    Hi Moxiemaiden. You and I seem to have plenty in common. I'm 66 with diabetes, arthritis, and much more. It's taken me years to take off 100 pounds and now I'm wanting to get the next hundred pounds off. Being accountable and having the support of others has helped me in the past. It's now time for me to get back on the Merry-Go-Round. Lets make it a positive ride.
