Hi MFP Community,
I'm new here. I saw a suggestion at Lifehacker to join here. I am a paying member at another website that does the same here; but so far I like what I see for free here than there.
My story is pretty average-- I started gaining weight when I hit 30. I had been thin until that point, but metabolism slows and stubbornness set in about the foods I want to eat. I've been a runner off and on my whole life but being 45 now and 90 lbs over weight (265 vs 175) limits my enthusiasm.
I'm looking for friends and support. I live in MA so anyone there can just contact me-- that'd be great. It would really helpful if any guys in their 40's could share their stories, tips as well.
Thanks everyone!
