Hi. I am, as you can tell, in my 50's with alot of weight to lose. I have done WW a number of times and had 50 and 60 lb loss successes, only to gain them all back and more. I don't have the desire or the time to attend WW meetings, and I need something different. I have been following MFP for the past three days and it's an awesome site. What a great database of food...probably the best I've ever seen online.

I really have to get this weight off. I'm at my heaviest ever and now it's a matter of health. I know it gets tougher as we age...the old metabolism slows down and exercise gets more difficult with all those aching joints! I'm hoping there are folks out there in my position who would like to be friends, share stories and tips, motivate each other, etc.

Like I said, this site is new to me, so I'm trying to find my way around. I look forward to hearing from you! ....Patty

    Welcome Patty, My name is Maggie, I'm new too although I actually joined in 2010 and then did nothing to lose the weight I had gained. I'm staying focused now but have a long way to go. I'm in my 50's too and and have about 60 pounds left to lose, it almost sounds impossible but it isn't.

    See you at the finish line...
    you can do it!!
    Maggie
