    Hi all,
    I’m 59, have 10-15 stubborn lbs that just aren’t moving. Would love supportive people /accountability buddy(ies) to share our journeys. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I'll be 57 in a few months with 3Ms too - struggling as I was able to lost 30 pounds just two years ago and since last summer, the pounds are literally creeping back up weekly. Nothing makes sense because the pounds are adding on quickly and I feel out of control. I would like to feel comfortable in my own skin - I wake up upset with my weight and I'm simply tired of myself and thinking about my weight. I was able to lose such a short time ago, and now it feels impossible. I was so proud of myself two years ago and now I feel like a failure. I need help and support to figure out how to address this new point in my life. Hot flashes, weight gain...hard to feel good.

    Hi! 42 here, married, 2 teenage boys. Been on this road a long time, used MFP like 10 years ago to get fit and was doing well. In the last few years I gave up, gained a lot of weight and I'm sure lost lots of muscle. I did so so in January and have been doing better for February but need motivation and support! Hope everyone is doing well! Recent highest weight ever if 216, current is 213, goal for now is 170-180.

    Love the idea of accountability with like-kind.

    I am 64, retired from Navy and following job. I have done every type of weight loss and am still looking for that magic pill, so-to-speak.

    Don’t get me wrong, I came to realize action is key to finding your way to health and fitness.

    For exercise, I walk my dog, Ace, at Smith Mountain Lake Park. These are not meandering walks, they are not for the faint of heart.

    I am looking for someone to make me accountable. I want to stay motivated. Help please …

    Add me too. Its tough to lose after 50 but lets share tips on what works and support each other. I tried Noom (in 2021 AND recently) and it didnt work at all. Haven't been this heavy since pregnant decades ago. I am hoping that tracking my macros in MFP will help (high protein, low carb, low fat to start). I love hiking and pickleball and being out with my doodle. I have been back to the gym for 6 weeks now and I have a bit more energy, yet no weight loss.

    I'm in a similar place! 48, back at logging and focusing on some fitness goals after a few years more off than on. My kids are young adults, with one still at home but moving across the country this summer. My 2 daughters and 2 grands live up the street. Being older it does help that I can focus on ME now.

    Diary is public, because I don't care what people think of what I eat.

    Hi. I am 56 and a 3M'r. I have lost a little over 50 pounds three times in the past 15 years. It normally takes me about a year to lose that amount as I routinely lose about one pound per week. I am on the up side of the scale again and need to lose 50 at a minimum. I have lost about 10 in the past year and have been able to keep it off but have not committed to myself to keep stay on the losing rather than maintaining side. I too like support and encouragement. Today, I started logging again. That is the start to my long journey to come.

    Good morning! I'm Keri, and starting again. My hubby and I are going to try weight watchers, 1st time he has really wanted to try anything. I'm excited and hope that we will stick with it. I'm 195 goal 150, and I'm 53 years old. My nest is almost empty, and I'm the main caretaker of my Mom who lives with us.

    I'm hoping to find an accountability partner that is willing to share experiences, recipes, and help each other to stay on the wagon!

    If this group is still active I would like to join. 58 year old post menopausal empty nester. I’ve gained another 20 pounds in the last few years and have at least 30 total to lose. New desk job is making things harder- I’m tired all the time, have to be at work early, and zero motivation by the time I get home. Would love to offer and receive support.

    I'm looking for friends but not sure how to add people because I'm new - doh.

    I'm 48, starting on the menopause fun, night sweats, hot flashes etc. etc. oh and weight gain. Grr. I'm trying to lose around 50-60lbs. I'm in Oregon. I'm trying out OMAD (one meal a day) at the moment. I'm active daily. I don't record calories with this app, but I do import my exercise and I post everyday.

    Cheers!
