I'm new and am 45 years old. Are there any women my age or at least around that age that would like to be support partners? At least I have figured out that at this stage of the game, the weight and horomones are all whacky. Please feel free to send me a message or friend me.

    I'm 54 and I've been through the hormone thing. I'm out the other end of it now and I seem to have a bit more control over my weight these days, but it's still a struggle.

    Anyway, I'm happy to be friended by anyone, I'm really new here.

    Welcome!
    I'm 48 and just getting started here. Sure is a lot harder to lose weight now than it used to be, so I'm looking forward to having a place to go for ideas and support.

    I am 49 and having a terrible time losing the weight. I seem to be gaining instead of losing. Very frustrated, any suggestions to me would be great!!!

    I'm 47 and a half actually, 48 in September. Why did I say 48? Well I feel it today because I was working out and discovered one of our cats had peed on the gym mat. Yuck! Sooty's in the doghouse!

    Hi All,

    I'm 53 and have been dealing with the hormones and a thyroid condition. I just joined MyFitnessPal after using FatSecret for a couple of years. I would love to have the support as well. I have 16 lbs to go. Feel free to add me.
