Hello, Over in the MFP community threads section of this app there are many fast paced and random threads that come and go. This 'Group' can work as a smaller community that work through these things with ongoing commitment. This is not the typical hyper internet way. Consider this a peer group and we're looking out for…
I am 60 years old and need to lose 50 pounds. I am just starting out but I know I need to do weight training too. Does anyone know where I can find a weight lifting program for older women that shows the exercises? I really could use some help with this. Need to get myself into shape again. Thanks for your help.

But, I'm wondering, have others in this group who have one linked it to MFP? I'm not sure I understand what the benefit would be to linking. So, I'd be really…

The job is long…
There is a great video at the bottom of the article with Mike Lee, MFP founder, telling the history of MFP and where the merge with Under Armour will take the company. ==>http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/4/7980793/under-armour-acquires-myfitnesspal-475-million

T’was the month after Christmas, When all through the house Nothing would fit me, Not even a blouse! The cookies I nibble, The eggnog I taste... At the holiday parties, Have gone to my waist! I remember the marvelous Meals all prepared: The gravies and sauces, The beef "nicely rared". The wine and the rum balls, The bread…

Determination to stick it out for the long haul has always been my problem. I have started a 1000 cal diet of my own , a yoga program once a week and will be doing weight training with my husband 2…
