53 here. I've been on MFP awhile, but just getting back into the Community aspect. Feel free to add.

I used to be active in the Communities but I found I was spending too much time online so I cut back.

Thanks Mac. How's it going

Mostly good. Getting ready for the annual migration... escaping Texas before it becomes unbearably hot to Canada's east coast where summer is far more pleasant.

Hi all Happy Sunday
58 yr old Cdn male here.
I had been on mfp for a number of years and am now back after a hiatus.
Looking for like minded people in their 50s that want to keep chasing those healthy goals. I’m always looking for friends that I can chat and share ideas and tips with
Jeff

@jkq17 - Welcome, Canadian neighbor! (I'm over in Michigan, USA, sort of next door to at least some parts of your beautiful country.)

This group has been a bit slow, but I hope you'll stick around. Most of the activity has been on these threads, lately:

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10909281/general-chat-thread-please-participate#latest
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10647689/pictures-from-outdoor-exercise#latest

If you post on that first one, that's a good place to ask questions or share tips with fellow group members. The second one is not just photos; things here are pretty relaxed about what's posted where. That said, new threads can sometimes be overlooked, because they don't show up in our Community notifications unless we change one of the default notification settings. Once we post on a thread, or bookmark the thread, we do get notifications by default.

Truth in advertising: I'm not among "like minded people in their 50s" as I'm 68. I'd like to think I'm fairly lively for a li'l ol' lady, but that may be wishful thinking.

Best wishes!

Thanks so much for the info. I’m on the way to check out the links!

Hey Jeff! I'm a Canuck too... currently on the East Coast but I've lived from coast to coast over the years!!

Thanks Mac!

It seems like MFP is in a time of transition as they've signaled they intend to remove the Newsfeed feature. That will probably result in driving more activity to groups, including this one...

For myself, I found the Newsfeed to be more engaging than the groups. I'm not much of a social butterfly so the changes won't likely make a huge difference in my world...

Hello, I go by JP. I'm in Ohio. I've been on MFP for a while but am just starting to make active health journey choices.

I am not 50 (yet) but by the end of 2024 I will be. Is it cool if I hang out with you?

Miss the newsfeed that's all lol

You're not alone in that.
