I think people coming and going is just symptomatic of the Internet in general and even our broader culture that chases "instant gratification." That being said, I've found some great friends on MFP. These friends / myself have been able to support and encourage each other.

Please feel free to add me. Receiving support and supporting others is so important in this journey.

It's never too late. My father lost about 100 pounds when he was in his late 60's.

My wife and I adopted an orphaned child from Russia when we were in our mid 30's. We heard a number of comments about our adoption; most were great, some hurt. Just know that you did a right and noble thing by adopting and helping a child. Seems everyone has an opinion. Best to consider the source and let their comments…

I'm 55 years old; working to lose 50 pounds. Always good to have friends, motivation and support. Please feel free to add me.

Beautiful day here in Akron, Ohio. I can't wait to get out in the yard tomorrow to do a little gardening and to cut the grass. Enjoy this beautiful weekend everyone!

Would love some new friends. Support and encouragement are so important on this journey.

The Second Girl by David Swinson It blew me away ....

Getting started back with myfitnesspal and would welcome some new friends. The interaction with others on this same journey helps to motivate. I'm a 55 year old man. I'm a husband, a son, a brother, a father and a grandfather (and father to a black lab). I'm working to lose 50 pounds by the end of the year (2019), and 70…

Listening to some old jazz on vinyl that I picked up yesterday for a $1 at an estate sale. John Coltrane.

The Laughing Policeman

Read this last year. Really good.

Catching up on some Doc Savage

The Inimitable Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse. First published in 1923, but as zany and as funny now as it was back then. Nobody crafts words quite like Wodehouse.
