Hey all,
I just found this website last night. I don't know what took me so long. I am 54 and I have always done Weight Watchers in the past, but this looks interesting.
I recently was told that I have to go on statins for high cholesterol, so I am looking to lose weight and lower fat. I don't know how groups work here, but I would love if some of you would become "friends" while I go on this journey towards healthfulness.
I am from Oakland, CA. I do public health research. In my spare time, I'm a couch potato, but I'm trying to change that.
Looking forward to meeting other users,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Today is my first day on here also. My friend and I were trying to find a place we could track our food and exercise and be able to share it with each other and she suggested this website.
I am 50 and live in NC and would love to join you on this journey. I am on BP, cholesterol, and lasik medications, needless to say, I have quite a bit to gain from losing weight also. I hate taking the meds and I use a c-pap machine also that I would love to get rid of!
Feel free to message me anytime. I'm not always on the computer in the evenings but now that I have agreed to use this medium to document, I should at least be on for a little while everynight.
Take care and good luck to us both!

Just started not long ago and was very comfortable to be couch potato till NOW! Feel free to add me if you want :-)
I have tried Weight Watchers and it's good... but this is even better because it's free, haha!0 -
OOOhhh same here girls! I have just joined yesterday! In need of some friends too! I am from North Vancouver, BC Canada! Looking to lose about 40 lbs! Here goes to some fun and crazy times ahead!0

Hey Girls! I'm 56 from NYC. I've been using MFP for awhile and need some friends too. I too have a bad knee and I'm hoping that losing this 30-35lbs that somehow crept up on me will take away some of the pain!
Please add me!! I'll also send a request...
Cheers!0 -

I did WW for a year too and then found MFP. But like you said this is free and the food database is WAY better!!0 -
Hi. I am not sure how the messaging works, but I joined yesterday, and would like some friends to keep me on track. I work in child health and am on statins. I like walking and am going to slowly build up to some jogging. My local gym does spin classes so I am also planning to do those but first I have to get over an op on my shoulder.0

I am just starting to use this site again and would love to have some friends on here. Maybe the support will help me stay motivated. Good luck to all of you.0

Hi everyone!!! I am fairly new to this as well. I am in desperate need of losing 100lbs.
I was told about this website by a friend and kind of blew it off, but seriously I am tierd of the extra pounds
Would really love a support group or friend to talk to about my wiet loss. I started Sunday and am more motivated than ever. I am a Medical Billing Manager and have a mostly sitting job. Love hearing about the success stories on here and hope one day it will be me giving my testimony.0 -
