My name is June and I'm 69 years old. I'm new to the Group and new to using this site. As of Sunday, April 22, I am going to begin my weight loss journey. I have 54 pounds to lose to get down to what I want to weigh. I don't only want to do this for appearance, but I know my health would thank me a great deal.

Having broken my ankle in January, I'm very much on the mend. I am doing laying down and sitting exercises.

I'd like to get to know you all and be able to share in this journey with you.

    Hi June...I joined a couple of weeks ago so I am kind of new too. It must be difficult to exercise while mending....good luck with your journey and maybe we will be sharing progress soon.

    Hi. I'm Karen & I'm new to the group. I'm 67 years young & I live in Wisconsin. I have four grown children & eight grandchildren who range in age from 23 years to 7 months. I've been overweight for most of my adult life & I've found that in the last year it's been getting progressively worse & it's time to do something about it. I have a 50th class reunion coming up in 2013 & would love to be more physically fit by then. It's a hard, long trail.

  • Hi! I am also new to the group. I am 62 years young and need to lose weight for health and grand children. I have had two leg bypass surgeries and started walking to keep the veins open and now I am running every other day. I have lost 7 lbs so far and still have a ways to go. Happy to be here.
  • I'm 67 years young. I'm new to this site and looking for "friends" who want encouragement and who are willing to encourage AND who are young at heart and have "senior moments".

    Hi everyone, my name is Michael and am 70 years old, I need to loose 50 lbs, for health reasons. My pal name is Frankmbr, and would appreciate any support from MFP Members. I logged in 20 days ago and have lost 10 lbs to date, and 50 to go. I wonder why there are not a lot of men on this site? Does not matter, support from the ladies would
    still be appreciated too.
