Hey everyone! My name is Heather and I'm from Alexandria, VA - right outside of DC. I've been single for about 2 months now after a 2 year relationship ended. During the course of my previous relationship (with someone who would only eat junk food) I gained about 30 lbs. So far I've nearly lost everything that I gained and am happily moving on with my life! I'm always looking for new buddies on here 0

Greetings! My name is Leata and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I've been single for close to 3 months now after a 6 year relationship. I'm very nervous about getting back into the "dating scene", so hopefully being around single people will help me get over that.
Oh, and I'm a Sagittarius...

Hi, my name is Mark. I'm 5'8", 142 lbs and 42 years old. I came to MFP through the Fitbit web site. I've since lost my fitbit but I still use MFP. I'm in good shape now though I'm always trying to be more physically fit. There is more information about me on my profile and I'm active on other sites and even have a POF profile, if you're interested just let me know. I live in Huntsville, AL but I'm open to meeting women from anywhere in the Northern Alabama or the Southern Tennessee area but the closer you are to Huntsville the better 0

Hi, I'm Juanita...I've been single for 2yrs now & I have been on MFP for a month. I live in the Central NY area & am the mama of a really kickass 4yr old boy
I've recently started running & have my 1st 5k this coming Tuesday & then my 2nd on 6/30.
I would like to meet people that are near me & would like to hang out... Either working out or even seeing a movie (that isn't for kids, lol) or go to any of the fun summer time stuff that CNY has to offer.0 -
Hi, i'm 43, I was a young mum, we married and had 4 kids and divorced. I later met someone and we had a child, sadly he was killed at work 11 yrs ago when our daughter was 7wks old. I moved to Melb some stage afterwards, and with everyone calling in every 5 mins with junk food and the amount of drinking that went on, i got to be my heaviest without even being pregnant.
I moved to Qld for 8 months to see how my youngest and I would go there. That was when I started to lose weight. I plateaued and left it there. Moved back to Country vic where we grew up. I lost more weight and again plateaued. this past yr I have been a bit healthier with my eating and certainly done alot more exercise. So, I know I can maintain my weight, just now to budge the last of the kilos. This past yr things have changed, as I studied to be a personal carer, got a job. And now I'm studying again. When I get extremely tired that is when I tend to binge on junk.
Being on here has already helped me, as everything I eat is seen and it's so much easier to type in food and have it worked out for you then to try and work it all out yourself. I was doing a nutrition at the gym, but found it to hard. We had to report in with our food for the week, and our exercise plan. Now, I'm not wasting so much time. anyways.. enough of me lol. Hoping MFP helps me rid of the last kilos and make new friends along the way!0 -
Hi
my name is Crystal Jade, Im 26, and joined here in May. I live in CT near the shoreline, and I am a swim teacher/lifeguard. I have piercings, tattoos, and scars I love meeting new people, and having friends, so add me 0 -
Hey everyone..
I'm Amber and as of the end of May I became a single girl after a 3 year relationship. I'm 26 will be turning 27 on Monday. Living in TN with my cat Leo With no way to afford rent at this time in my life (credit card troubles on top of student loans and car payment) i'm back at my parents. Definitely not the proudest moment asking to move back in with them but they've been supportive through all this. I'll be staying and working on paying off the cards then getting on with the rest of my life.
Not to sure what to do with my single self when i'm not working.. I know I've got my books to read and journals to write in but other then that.. I'd become so accustomed to having somebody else there I feel a bit lost..
Anyway, it's nice to meet you all!

Hello, I'm Vickie and I'm new to MFP. I'm single and simply wanted to look for friends/companions and support from anyone in the New Orleans, LA area or through the inter-webs. Honestly I don't think love is going to step into my door anytime in the near future, so friendship is just fine with me.0

I'm Eric, I reside in Pittsburgh and work in federal law enforcement. I'm 49, and have 3 children, all out of the house in college. I am divorced, and recently ended the only other serious relationship I've ever had. I didn't think I'd be at this place at this point in my life. My primary mission is to use MFP to track my food and exercise, and I used it very consistently last year prior to my relationship ending. I felt sorry for myself and quit using it, only to gain weight back. So, I'm here to stay and this is a great place with lots of support. Feel free to add me if you'd like....0

Hi everyone. Nice to meet you all! I've been on MFP for just over one year and I love it. I only recently realized there is a community though! I have been using it to track food and weight loss through the app on my phone but haven't taken advantage of the other great things. A little about me....I just turned 40 and I'm looking forward to actually being much healthier in my 40s than I ever was in my 30s. I have struggled with obesity for a long time. I had weight loss surgery last July but I strongly believe that changing life habits and making fitness a part of my life has been one of the best things to help me be successful. I've lost 177 lbs so far. Recently I joined a Crossfit box locally and it has totally rejuvenated my fitness program and for the first time I'm getting really excited about working out! Happy to meet you all.0

I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I've been on MFP for several months and just recently getting around to actually being active... I'm Beth from the DFW Texas area and a single 39 year old mom. My goal is to make it to my final goal weight by the time I turn 40 in January. I think I'm on track and starting with a personal trainer this week to push myself to the next level. Nice to meet the group and looking forward to making new friends! 0

Hi everyone! I'm from SoCal and I've been divorced for almost 4 years now. I've been on MFP for just over a month now but just found this group today.
I have ventured into online dating a few times since newly single and I feel like most of the people I see are fit and very active. I was not for a while because of a thyroid problem that led to a huge weight gain. I used to think my matches were all shallow (some are), but I've changed my attitude and adopted the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" view, so I'm getting myself fit before I consider venturing back online again and post the dreaded full body shot! I'm half way toward my weight goal and working on my fitness goals now of getting stronger and running further.
I thought it might be nice to meet other people in the single life trenches on MFP who are also working to lose weight and get fit.0 -
Hi All
I am Andy, newly turned 47, 5"9 and shrinking weight wise, just reached my first goal which was to get back to the weight I was before knee surgery knocked my previous attempt out. I am UK based.
I have been a member for a couple of weeks but been on MFP since the end of March and approaching my 130 days. As someone else mentioned I just noticed the "Welcome" section and people are still doing it so thought in for a penny in for a pound/dollar depending on which side of the Atlantic you are from.
Long time single mainly down to being to nice/shy to change that. Not that I don't enjoy the single lifestyle, being able to do what I want when I want, I have friends here that say how can you workout for nearly 2 hours at a time, the advantage of being single is the answer I give. I love to travel, try different things/foods, like to cook but this healthy stuff takes some doing. I long to be able to say that would work in there and just put it in :laugh: but I know I am not in a position to do this yet.
Good luck to you all in your goals whatever they are.

Hi Everyone! I'm a 37 year old single mom of an 18 year old who's about to leave me with an empty nest! Learning how to live life for me now and I guess getting back into dating is one of the steps. I've been an active MFP'er for a while but am finally finding what works for me. I'm on a roll and it feels good to be losing and getting healthy! Now, if I could find someone to share in the journey with me, that would be amazing! This looks like a fun group, can't wait to start exploring it!0

Hi! I'm Joyce and have been single now for about 5 years. I have two grown children (my daughter still lives with me), a couple of dogs and 3 cats. I have been struggling with my weight all my life, but after my best friend died last year I have been diligently working on getting the pounds off and adding exercise in my life.
I'm hoping to meet someone someday, as I miss sharing my life with another, but at 54 years of age and not much of a network of people I am finding it difficult. I have tried online dating, but didn't like it.
Anyway, nice to meet you all!!0 -
Hi everyone! In Palm Beach County, FL. I'm 28 years old and enjoying life!
Looking forward to chatting with everyone!
Edit:
I guess I should also add that I have been active with MFP since October 2011 and have lost close to 50lbs... working on approximately another 50lbs AND recently started the C25K training in hopes of running a 5k in December! Woot!0 -
Figured it was about time I posted at least a hello on here. I've been on MyFitnessPal since around May, actively eating Paleo since June which is working well for me, long way to go but I'm keeping at it. This group is definitely my go-to when it comes to reading threads, both for honesty and great stories from people. Getting in shape and all has really made me feel better about myself and I find myself looking around on the internet for a companion and someone with like interests. Anyways, off home from work early today and enjoying the afternoon Hope everyone else is doing the same!

Hi I'm Dani, 25 from Dublin Ireland. I'm single since April when my fiance died. I'm not looking for a relationship at all now, but thought it might be an idea to join this group, see what everyone's saying, take a few tips that might come in handy in the future lol, and just mingle with the single peeps

Hello... I'm Donna, 36. Single mom (sole parent) to my dd, who turns 5 in January. Since having her I kind of gave up on everything 'me'. Technically, I've been on MFP for...good grief... 2 years. Only recently have I become serious about doing something to get myself back. I've never joined a group here and figured I'd give some a shot.0

Hi! I'm Paris. New to DC and MFP. Looking to make friends and get in better shape.0
