Looking for 40-something friends for support

Hello firends,
As I get to know this app better, I'm looking to offer and give support. I think the more involved and engaged I am, the more successful I'll be.
I'm 44yo married father of 5 that is hell bent on getting to 200 pounds. No reasonable friend request denied unless you are over the top negative. Don't be over the top negative :)

Mark

    Hello! I am 43 and looking to lose around 15 - 20 pounds! I need all the help I can get as it's not easy to lose in your 40's which I'm finding out! The last 2 years I ran 3 - 4 miles 4 - 5 days a week, this year I run only 2 days and do a cardio kick class 2 days plus walk on other days and am up like 8 pounds from last summer! I've been watching what I eat the last few weeks and am stuck at a certain weight. I will lose 1 - 2 pounds during the week but gain it back on the weekend so I need to eat/excercise better on the weekends which I am working on!! I have 2 boys, 12 and 13 who are very active in sports so we are running them around every night to games/practices so we are eating on the fly, usually pizza or other junk but if we go out I try to get salad with chicken.

    I felt great last summer and want to feel that way again this summer so I am working on it day by day! That's all you can do and eventually it will work!! Friend me if you would like!! We are all in this together!!

    I'm 44 and mom of 2. I've found losing weight in my 40's is a lot harder then my teens. Go figure, huh? Please add me as a friend I sure could use some help. This my second time on here last summer I lost 30 pounds and put 20 back on. Instead of beating myslef up everyday I decided to get back on the wagon but again I could use some awesome friends to help keep me going!!!!! :smooched:
