    Hi guys, been a member for a while, 41yo . Lost, gained, lost, gained, now trying to lose again.
    Using Keto and my new NordikTrack to get my *kitten* together. So far so good.

    Anyone feel free to add me as a friend.

    Happy weekend!!
    I've been having knee issues so today's workout was a 7.5km walk to visit some historic sites around our neighborhood. We had to venture into a valley for much of these, man those hills are killer. But we did see some lovely places....hard to believe this was steps away from one of the busiest streets in our province. Tomorrow are wineries and waterfalls and farmers market a704t70p8vp5.jpg. rwx8acg87bfj.jpg

    Howdy. 56 here, but I always have to calculate that because I always think I'm still in my 40s.
    Been doing IF since June 26 and have 67 lbs to lose. I've lost my COVID weight plus pounds I gained after I got married a few years ago, and I'm loving the newfound energy. (14 lbs down so far)

    I don't know how to add people or I'd have done it already. (The green button on people's profiles only gives me the option to ignore. I am hoping that's because I've never posted and the system thinks I could be a creeper. heh)

    I'm looking for friends but I gotta tell you, I suck at remembering to check into various communities. I am a little ashamed --and much aghast-- that I sent a support request to Fitbit last Monday on Twitter and then forgot about it and left them hanging for three days. (Only a little ashamed because, life, man.)

    Anyway.
    I welcome friend requests. Happy Friday to all!

    Didn't realize I counted as middle age just yet, but I guess I do lol

    I am floundering without a buddy to help me stay motivated. Anyone want to add me (no clue how to do that) I am 39, two daughters, engaged, work nights as a CNA. I try to stay as boring as possible lol

    Hi Im Bob, Im 380 my highest weight. Im determined to get to 180 this time. im 41 so if I dont do it now its probably hopeless. Join me on my journey if this resonates then add me please.

    It’s never hopeless. My Dad is doing it and he’s 77. He’s inspired me.

    To add friends on MFP: (using the computer app)

    1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
    2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
    3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    My curling friends say Barbados is the best Because they only drink champagne on the beaches. Who wants to move?

    Hi everyone! My name is Kathy, I'm 37 and I live in Germany.

    I signed up here years ago and lost a bit but then I became ill, was stuck in bed for nearly two years, could barely move, let alone lead my own life and make my own decisions, so weight loss and fitness became less important. Nevertheless, I lost nearly 50 kg in that time and now that I am making my way back to life, I'm motivated to lose the rest and also became aware again of how hard it is to lose and stay on track when it's down to your own discipline. Self-control? Me? Hahaha...

    Anyway, I still feel like a teenager, more interested in fandom-things than adult-things. I like gaming, writing, cross stitching and knitting (nerdy things).

    If anyone wants to be friends, encourage each other or just say hi, I'm here for it.

    Hello all! Feel free to add me (40/M/SW:252lbs/CW:212/GW:180) I'm active in this app, and would like to see my feed busier than it currently is. I'm curious what everyone else does to lose weight, and I am always keeping my eyes open to fresh and interesting ideas. I've been doing intermittent fasting (16:8), calorie counting (1690 daily calories), and running (currently 2.2 miles non-stop).

    Good day Jo ~ as the rain ends there ~ so it begins here.... down deep South of Alabama. While I don't mind walking in the rain, in fact I find it refreshing, calming and down right fun.... I don't want to get struck by lightning. So today's physical work shall be done inside. lol.

    I actually quite like some rainy days, especially if I have no chores and can huddle up on the lounge with a blanket, some popcorn and a good movie.. blisssss

    Yeah, don't get struck by lightning, I hear that's no fun 😄
    Good morning middle-agers HHD 🐪🐫
