    I have been on MFP since October 2014 and have lost over 70#. I am 58, female and love to run, among other exercises. I am willing to help any ladies over 50 find their "me" weight. Please send me a message telling me where you found me. I am not a professional anything, just another traveler on the road to fitness.

    I'm just starting out and trying to lose around 30 pounds. I struggle with lack of energy but starting to notice a natural difference by trying to eat more protein. Adoption would be great. I am so uneducated on healthy!

    I am starting a journey. I want to go from obese to normal weight. I don't know how long it will take, but I'm all in. If anyone is interested in mentoring me, I would appreciate the help. I am a 48 year old man living in Connecticut. I retired from the Navy and now work as an accountant. Thank you for taking a chance on me!

    Adopt me!

    I would really like to start lifting but I'm also really shy. My husband refuses to go to the gym with me. We have a treadmill but I hate running. I am currently working on adjusting my macros. For a while I was doing the vegetarian keto diet but its way too restrictive.
    For now I'm just going to count calories and try to work up the courage to go to a gym by myself.

    Could I be adopted? I am back where I started. It's depressing to go on the scales and see them not move from where you were two weeks ago. I'm tired and ready to give up.
    Yet. Here I am. Day 1. Looking for friends. Looking for mentors.

    Hi I am a 60 year old female in search of support on need for a lifestyle makeover. I have over 100 pounds to lose so it seems daunting at this point of just starting. I like to walk and used to golf but my endurance is next to none now so need to lose some weight first. I would really appreciate someone who is supportive and encouraging to speak with on the journey. I am 63" tall and weight is 266 lbs. My job is essentially sedentary. My husband and I are also raising our two grandkids ages 5 and 8. Life is busy but I need to make time for myself and my health. Would welcome a mentor. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome! If you read my mentor-bio and think we'd click, please shoot me a Friend Request in which you tell me about yourself and where you found me.
    That goes double for all the ladies who keep posting here. :)

    I know we are supposed to read the intros and find a mentor for ourselves .... But I am wanting to put this here JUST IN CASE any mentors go looking as well.

    I'm 30, oh typing that hurts. Lol. I am looking to change my overall health and eating habits. I am having an issue cutting fat from my diet, for some reason it just seems to get in there. I have cut a lot of sugar and calories and I also use. I am in Texas/US.

    Would love to be adopted. I'm a mother of three that's been having trouble losing the rest of my weight, around 70lbs from the birth of my son. I suffer from PCOS and multiple back and hip problems, so I need someone that has knowledge about these issues and can work with me to achieve my goals. I would really love to be confident in myself again. I use FitBit as well. Can also use other programs if necessary, no fads though. Any help would be appreciated. Adopt this adorable puppy today
