Horrible weather in the UK today - so we decided to head to Richmond Green to our friends ice cream shop!

New to the app. 48, married, dog dad, new homeowner (8 weeks!) and LGBTQ author. Looking to lose 20 lbs. So much harder to lose weight now that I’m middle-aged and my addiction to cookies doesn’t help!
I’m hoping that by keeping track of my calories, I’ll become more aware of what/how much I’m eating and that will be enough to keep me honest. My husband is using a different app for the same purpose. Fingers crossed!
I’d say that during the holidays is one of the worst times to try and lose weight but since we rarely leave the house, due to the pandemic, we won’t be tempted by mindlessly eating at holiday parties this year.
So you and hubs are having a battle of the food and fitness tracking apps? Who will prevail?!?!1 -
Happy Sunday middle agers!
Sorry but no, no Christmas in this house until December. Mind you plenty of houses on our road have their decos up already, but I think it's insane. As much as I love Christmas, heck my eldest was born Christmas Day, but I can't stand the tree more than about 2 weeks. I've been known to take it down before NYE!
Weather's been horrific this weekend, cold, windy and that dirty very wet drizzly rain. Still went for a walk both days with the husband and in a weird way I kinda enjoy it, getting wrapped up and not being bothered by the state of myself.
Right, it's nearly 7pm here. I'm going to be enjoying a glass of cabernet and relax for a few hours. Have a nice evening all
@FutureFit2020 please tell me those dates were massive! I know they're full of sugar (and fiber) but 60 cals is not worth it, is it!1 -

Aww, he's growing so fast.. and so cute, a heart breaker in the making 🙂1 -
good morning middle-agers..
Welcome new faces.
Life is not too bad here ( Australia) in comparison to overseas but a reminder last night as I watched the news of how life has still changed. People who normally put on huge Christmas light displays for their community have been asked not to. They are sad of course but understood. Such a shame but yeah.. crowds etc. 😔 Maybe next year.
Stay safe out there 🙂4 -

So cute!0 -
Sadly dates were not huge.
I will be the one arguing to take the tree down Boxing day! I never make it to NYE, but I've obviously gone Covid weird.

I think this is the group for me.
I'm 53 from the UK and married with 4 grown up blended kids (we have two each).
I've lost 100lb over the last year and my wife has lost 140lb.

Ok I just tried but I can't send or accept invitations. I think it's probably because I don't use the app because everytime I click on the link they bring me to App Store.

You should have an option to skip going to the app store. I use the internet browser because the app uses a lot of data.1 -

Hi!!!
I’m still here🥰
I’m doing a month of deprivation to raise money for a local family. Mom of 4 young ones has terminal cancer 😔
I’m going without coffee, chocolate and alcohol for the month and my FB friends are sponsoring me.
So in other words, I’m keeping my misery to myself 😂😂
Hope everyone is well ❤️

Hello everybody. I’m back after a couple of years away. My motivation is in the toilet anymore. I’m looking for friends to give and receive support. Please add me if you don’t mind a 12 year olds sense of humor in a 50 year old body.2

Hey 👋 I’m looking for likeminded friends, I’m middle aged but my body thinks it’s 90 🤔3

Greetings all winter equals more time inside and more down time. Trying desperately to kick bad eating habits sooner rather than later.3

I just came back to MFP after being away for some time. Trying to get back into my old workout habits.
I don't know how I feel about that "middle agers" though lol. Do I need to be reminded of that haha.1 -
Hi everyone, please can I join you all?
I'm 40F and have lost 39lb this year, since March. Still a way to go but I'm happy with my progress and would be nice to have people to chat to.3 -

Yeah, they are in pretty dire straights. Obviously she can’t work due to her failing condition and he can’t either as he takes care of her full time and their four kids.
A friend of mine is doing a toy collection for their kids for Christmas so that will help as well.
So far I’ve managed to raise $2500 just from asking my FB friends to donate. Considering I only have 270 friends that’s pretty generous of all of them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another mid-50's guy here. As much as I try, my body continues to remind me I'm not in my 20's any more.forestfreek wrote: »AliNouveau wrote: »forestfreek wrote: »Diatonic12 wrote: »Where is that beautiful woman and soul, @forestfreek.

Good for you. My son's school is doing a gift drive for some families. It's going to be tough out there for many families this year2 -
Morning beautiful people, new ones and older ones (not age wise!!). I hope everyone is staying healthy. All our covid tests came back negative here. My oldest works in a nursing home and they are going to weekly tests. All distance learning starts after Thanksgiving and at least through the new year sooo...how YOU doin??
I did make a mental health decision for myself to take some self care this weekend. I booked myself a hotel room, just here in town, and I'm staying there by myself. I just need 48 hours away from the kids, dogs, messy house, chaos before the stress of the holidays and work ramp up. My husband didn't seem thrilled by it, but I told him it was either a weekend now, or time in the psych ward in January. Sooo...yeah.
@forestfreek I am so proud of you and what you're doing, I don't think that I could do it. And yes, there are a LOT of families that are going to need a lot of help. It makes my problems seem really small sometimes.4 -

This is an awesome idea!
