in Introduce Yourself
Would like to connect with women over 45 who need a bit of a push and motivation. No offense intended, but I don't want to friend any men because I have my husband at home for that.:wink:

The things that used to work don't work as well anymore, and there are all of the other struggles that come with this age.:frown:

And I also don't have a lot of time for chit chat so some of the groups don't quite work.

So if you would like to friend another woman who will give you a cheer and an occasional kick in the butt (and wants the same in return), please friend me!

    Hi I am almost 49, have been working out 6 days a week for the last 6 mos and have only lost 27 pds. I dropped 6 inches off my waist, so I should be happy, but my friend, who has been doing the same thing has lost 47 pds! I am an emotional eater and suffer from bouts of depression along with menopause,,,ugh! So, sometimes I over do it on the portion sizes and blow it! I would love to be able to talk to other women who have similar problems and or tips and recipes to share :smile: :smile:

    hi just joined today! I could be gone by next week if I don't get the push and the kick in the butt! so i'll be your 'pal' if you want. I love my 'tea and toast'. :drinker: I am 47 this year and it does get harder!! In a previous lifetime I was an aerobic junkie and now I try and go for quick cycle and dust my walking machine for exercise! lol! :ohwell:

    I'm 51. During the work week I'm so good at tracking, eating right & exercising. I think that's becasue I plan the whole week on Sunday. But I never plan weekends which is my downfall. I joined Sept or Oct of last year but didn't track every day then came the holidays. I'm back for good now and need to be honest with myself why I'm not losing as much weight as I should. I could use the extra kick too so friend me if you'd like & we'll keep each other honest.

    Hi add me. I'm 48 and need lots of pushing! Want to lose about 20lbs but finding it hard. Doing exercise 3 times a week but doesn't seem enough. (why didn't I listen to my mum when she said it gets harder to lose weight after 40?)

    Think I'm having /had menopause-does that make a difference to weight loss?

    Hi MyCruiser23, just turned 49 in December and would be glad to become one more of your MFPals.

    I hear you on the menopausal issue. Just doesn't want to come off as easily anymore. Gained my 'last' 20 since 2006 and finally had enough. Joined MFP last September.

    I'll be glad to back you up.

    PS, anyone else here looking for Pals, I'd be glad to connect with you as well

    Hi, I am over 50 and been doing the meno thing since 2004 and I am ready for it to be over!! I love MFP because it makes me accountable. I don't chit chat much either but could use the WOO HOOS! once in a while. And will gladly give them back!

    I am well over 45, I am 62, but have the same needs and wants. have been on MFP for awhile. Slipped over the holidays. I was going to curves 4 days a week. Have lost 27 inches total and 17 pounds. Now that the new year has started I know I need that push or like you said that kick in the butt. I am a pretty good healthy eater. But sure need that motivation to get up off my butt and exercise.
    Friend me if you like I think we can both help each other out.
