Good morning! I’m Beth and live in the south suburbs of Chicago. I’m a 71 year old retired teacher looking to get healthier. I work a couple days a week as a substitute teacher. Looking for tips , tricks and make new friends.
Today is a good day to have a good day!

    Hello, Beth, and welcome!

    I'm Ann, turning 70 in November, also retired (from IT support for a university), living over in Michigan (palm of the mitten). I'm also an MFP long-timer, here since 2015.

    MFP helped me lose weight, get better nutrition consistently, keep up an active life, and improve my health markers to routinely normal levels.

    My view is that a series of small, manageable, positive changes can add up to a huge impact. I hope you find the same.

    If you're interested in finding others in our age group to chat with about these things, this is one place here to do that:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10718336/60-yrs-and-up

    Don't be dismayed if you open it up and see really old posts. Like any long-running thread here, the newest posts are at the end on the high-numbered pages. You can jump straight there with the number/arrow links at the top and bottom of each page of the thread. It's stiil active. I'd recommend reading the most recent couple/three pages to get a feel for the place, see if it suits you.

    In addition, don't feel hesitant to read and post in other parts of the Community here. My experience has been that those of us trying to lose weight, improve fitness, and achieve better health . . . we all have lots in common, no matter the age range.

    Wishing you success!
