Hello 50 yr old male looking for friends

Hi,

Well I turn 50 in two weeks and am finally taking action to sort out my life.

About a month ago I bought a fitbit and since then have lost 16lb going from 280 (gulp) down to 264. I'm aiming to get down to somewhere between 200 and 210 and if successful expect to take 9 months to a year to get there.

I'm a Brit living near Swindon, but would welcome friends from anywhere who are facing a similar journey. I'm thinking just to keep tabs on each other and to challenge and motivate each other. Looking forward to hearing from anyone!

Best Regards

John
