Newbie Here and Struggling

Hi my name is Tina and I am new to MFP. I am almost 50 now and need to lose about 40 pounds. I have a very stressful job that keeps me pretty sedentary. I am working towards better food choices and incorporating exercise in my day but really really struggle. Anyone else in this rut, or those who can be accountability partners, I am open to becoming or joining a team.

    I am always looking for new friends who are active on here for accountability. I'm 62, have been here for 8 years, and am currently maintaining a 30-something lb weight loss. Sending you a friend request.

    Hi Tina! I am approaching that 50 mark as well, eeck! I am getting restarted, again. My job is also very sedentary and while now not as stressful it still impacts how I view food and exercise. Very much also need an accountability partner. If interested send me a friend request!!
