in Introduce Yourself
Hello! My name is Angee,I've been an active member of my fitness pal for over two years and have seen people come and go over time. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who would like to be friends. Please don't get me wrong but to have friends who are around the same age is invaluable. I hope that doesn't sound like ageism, it's not meant to be...lol. If you'd like to be a support to one another just send a friend request!

    I'm 38, so not quite in my 40's yet but could use some friends as well.

    Greetings! I'm Jennifer. (47)
    Remember when losing weight used to mean skipping dessert and taking the stairs! It's so much harder now!
    I had my daughter at 42, and I still haven't lost all the weight!

    Sending a friend request.
    Anyone else, please feel free to add me as well. My diary is open, and I post every day.

    I agree with you Angee. I'm 47 and I love having pals close to my own age. I log everything I eat every day. I like to swim & Zumba, and I normally take a circuit training class a couple of times a week. Right now I'm just doing long hikes on the weekends for exercise, but I'll be getting back to the gym in a few weeks.

    Anyone can feel free to add me :)

    I'm 45 and yes, losing the weight isn't as easy as it was when I was younger! I've lost 75lbs and looking to lose another 12 or 13.

    Feel free to add me too!

    I'm 42 and just coming off a hip surgery in March. Finding it hard enough to lose weight when all my parts are working the right way, but throw in bum hip (kinda need it to do most activities) and it's really tough. Could really use some support myself.

    Hey there Angee! I am 43, father of 2, husband of 1. :-) I am working hard to try to look and feel better than I ever did at 33 or even 23. Its not as easy as it was then, but I am giving it my all.

    Hi there, I'm 47. I learned none of my old tricks worked anymore. The one new one that works every time is sticking to the MFP calorie count. Log everything. I'm currently on maintenance and found allowing one free day a week has taken care of my frequent yo yo'ing after hitting goal. Good Luck!

    Hi Angee and all you guys looking for friends on here. I am 46 and live in the UK. I have so far lost 144lb, my ticker shows less but that is because I started dieting 7 months before I discovered MFP.

    I would love to have a few more MFP active friends who are of a similar age. My diary is open to the world and I log every day.

    Good luck with your weight loss/fitness dreams :)

    I'm 40 and always happy to have new friends in my age range. I log in daily and I work hard to be supportive. This is my second time losing a pretty good chunk of weight. This time I've adopted some lifelong new habits that are making it more slow but steady and I will be able to keep it off and be much stronger. Happy to have new, active friends :)
