    Hi! Newly re-engaged long time MFP member here. 48, need to lose about 40 lbs. All of the people I had originally connected with seem to no longer be active. Could use some friends that are interested in encouragement and following this journey with support. Add me!

    Hey everyone! I'm looking to add positive, encouraging friends who don't mind if I share more than just my diet and exercise, or lack there of! lol I want friends who engage and are honest about their journey. I'd like to drop about 10-15 pounds, but more importantly just tone up and look good overall. Feel free to add me! ♥

    Happy Friday, 51 looking for friends, 26 lbs to go and I don't want to connect with my husband as he he eats chips and cocktails with no gain . I workout 5 days and day 3 of watching my diet and water with the app. Fitness Pal saved me years ago!

    Hi M'agers! I've been away from this group for a while. I let a busy life with kids involved in many sports/social activities get in the way of taking care of myself. I decided to join a challenge group on MFP and am trying to be more active with the social side, not just tracking. This week has been great. I'm finding that being connected with others here is helping me tremendously. I don't accept friend requests simply because I don't post on my wall. I am enjoying interacting in my new group and hoping to be more active in here as well. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Yeah, I often tend to share too much stuff too. :smiley:

    I also tend to have the lack thereof when it comes to a proper diet.

    Hi everyone! I am 50 years old and I weigh 250 I am long-term trying to lose 80 pounds to get down to 170 as I am 5'8" but in the very immediate future I am quickly trying to get down to 230 to get breast reduction surgery before my medical insurance deductible renews in July... I have been going between 240 and 250 for about 2 months now... I just can't seem to get off this plateau... I go to the gym fairly regularly and do the stationary bike for 30 minutes with increasing resistance because I have orthostatic problems. However, recently as of today, I am working on getting on the treadmill and working up to walking a mile a day. Today I walked for 10 minutes and got a third of a mile. Tomorrow I am going to half a mile or more, I know I could walk the full mile just not at the pace of 2 miles per hour... my son has told me that I never commit to anything so today I quit smoking and started on the treadmill and I will keep committed to those two things for him... because he is disabled and needs a healthy mom. He is right. What he doesn't know is that my self-esteem is bottomed out and I need to work on that and then committing to things will be a lot easier. So, that is my story. it is nice to meet everyone, is there anyone who has a lot of weight to lose too and wants to partner with me and be accountable to each other? I think that would help a lot... I am a really nice encouraging person so don't be afraid to say hi everyone!
    Sincerely,
    Christine

    You got this Chris, just take it one day at a time and one pound at a time. Don't try and do too much at one time.

    Have a great day,
