in Introduce Yourself
Looking for motivational friends in the 40+ age group. I work 10 hours a day and have a busy home life so it helps to find people struggling with the same issues, just saying :-)

If you care to add me it's chantellesandberg

Thanks!

    Welcome to MFP! You will find that there are a lot of people in our 40's that are trying to get healthy for ourselves and our families! I am 47 and have 3 men/children (24, 20, 16) and have been married for 27 years. I work 2 jobs and have very little time at home, especially when I add in all the housework and gym time.

    I have been using MFP since the first of the year and have dropped (as of this morning) 18 lbs. If you faithfully enter everything you eat and all your exercise, you will have success!

    Add me if you'd like. I will support you along the way.

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm 42 (with two boys ages 18 and 20). I was faithfully using MFP last year but then relapsed because I hurt my foot. I've been back now for the last few weeks and feel really good. I could use friends too!

    I'm 43, work between 8 and 10 hours a day, commute for 2 hours a day on top of that and am finding it hard being motivated to exercise when I usually only have a couple of hours in the evening before I have to sleep. So would be happy to give and receive motivation to increase my exercise, and maybe lose a little bit more weight in the process.

So would be happy to give and receive motivation to increase my exercise, and maybe lose a little bit more weight in the process.

    I work 12 hour rotating shifts. On a day shift I get up at 2:30 to be to the gym by 3, workout till 4, leave for work, start work at 5, work till 5, shower, go home, eat dinner, then go to bed around 7:30. (I hate exercising after work because the gym is packed, I'm tired, and I just want to spend time with the wife before I have to go to bed.)

    On nights, I get up at noon, go to the gym, go home, get ready for work, leave at 4, start work at 5, get off at 5 go to bed at 6, when I get home.

    Days off are awesome. I get about 14 of those per month if I don't do any overtime. Those are the days I catch up on sleep, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. I usually hit the gym at around 10 am on days off.

    @dave4d That's dedication. I used to spin 4 times a week but even after a year I loathed it. Now I find roller skating (as in training for derby) and boxing more enjoyable and something I actually look forward to. Unfortunately it's also meant more injury (especially skating) so I've been laid up with a fractured tailbone for nearly 8 weeks and have lost motivation as a result.

    So please, feel free to kick my butt and get me out there again.
