Women over 50 - I'm back and need friends again...

Hi all, saw this post and thought I would chime in. I just started MFP about 10 days ago, and could use all the supportive friends I can find. I will be 55 in about a 10 days (not sure how that happened), and I'm a 4 year Lymphoma survivor. I just started easing into a plant based diet for the first time. I love this community and the support we can give to each other! Please add me, and let's help encourage each other through this journey. =0)

I've been doing this since February this year. Have lost 22kgs. Almost at the half way mark. And I turned 50 last year

Hi, I am new to this group and would love to be a part of it. Would be glad to be friends with anyone out there. Looking for all the encouragement I can get. I started my journey back in March of this year and have done good so far and want to keep it up. I would love to have friends on here that are on the same journey.

How about someone over 60. That's me (with over a 100 pounds to lose). Feel free to add me to your friends list.

Hi there. I am 53. Trying to lose weight has been a constant struggle. Namely because I have had several set backs. I had my first and only child at 39. Then started menopause 3-4 years later. Then had to have a hysterectomy laproscopically but I after healing, I got lazy with exercising. I played tennis for a while, but during the first years tournaments, I tore a ligment in my left knee-no surgery, required but I couldn't exercise anymore. That healed after about a year. Then a year later, I tore my meniscus in the other knee which did require surgery which I got about 9 months later. As of now, I walk still with a limp because I still hurt and feel like I could fall any moment if not careful. After going to all the required rehab and getting no relief, it has been discovered that I now have osteoartheritis in both knees and have gone through the last series of Supartz injections. I have been told that I will not ever be back to normal, but if it works like its supposed to I will find relief and support which up until the injections, I have not had any relief or support when I walk. So I said all this to say, I have gain about 50-60 pounds over 14 years. (son is 14 now). My husband has said he not sexually attracted to me because of my weight gain. I have started going to the gym, doing water aerobics, some other low impact type of cardio exercises and now I am trying to count calories using this website. I suffer sometimes with I think hormonal related mood swings which of course seems to affect my desire to exercise. So ladies out there I would be ever so happy to support you and encourage you because I need the same thing. Good luck to you all.

Hi I'm just starting out I've lost and gained weight more times than I care to remember...but THIS time! I have tried MFP over the last couple of weeks but kept failing I strongly believe I need a bit of support please add me! x....
