Hi, my name is Judy, I am 55 years old. I am married, we have one 17 year old son. We are business owners and work up to 18 hours a day, so getting the correct amount of sleep and keeping to a great eating plan is difficult most times. I have now started this journey again 10 days ago.

I made an investment in a commercial blender and for the last two weeks I have not missed breakfast.. Which was always a problem for me before. I make sure to eat within 20 minutes of getting up, and then I go for a morning walk, so that if my day takes off with our business, I still have some exercise completed.

There's much more, however, going back to work. Looking forward working with this group with healthy eating and living.

Hi, I am looking for more support in trying to eat less and better foods. I really could use more support and hope to be inspiring to others. I am 55 with two sons and two grandsons. I want to be there for my family as long as possible and I know the choices I make today will affect me in my later years. I am also trying to avoid diabetes which both of my parents suffered from so here I am. I don't have a tremendous amount of weight to lose but I want to get my eating under control now before I really gain too much more. I am open to all friend requests.

Hi Judy, my name is Roxanne. I joined my fitness pal, three or four weeks ago for the first time. My husband and I. also have our own business. I also work out for to six times a week and go for a walk every morning with my husband. I've lost 10 pounds so far, but have many more to go. I have four children, ages 22, 30, 35, and 36. I will be 60 August 12. My husband's business is garage doors, sales and service. I am a portrait photographer, and am writing a book, and make cards for hobby. I hope we can be friends and support each other.

My name is Nikki. I'm 33. I have a 10 year old son, and two daughters ages 7 and 3. I was chubby growing up and overweight as a teen. I was soooo insecure about it. I got stretch marks everywhere, which sucks when you're in high school! I stopped eating red meat when I was 16 and dropped about 20 pounds without thinking about it. That left me around 155. After my first child, I dropped down to around 141, maybe even a little less...like 135. Again, without thinking about it. After my second child, I did have to diet to lose weight but I got down to 125. That sounds pretty slim, but I was still 'skinny fat'. Since then my weight has fluctuated between 125 and 145. I NEVER worked out until last Fall. I just knew that no matter how much weight I lost, I would not be happy with my body unless I toned up. I was all on my own until I joined MFP and it's been a huge support. I've put on quite a bit of lean muscle, which is awesome. Still struggling to shred some of the fat. I jiggle everywhere. I do lots of Jillian Michaels and recently completed C25K, whiched amazed me. I try to eat pretty clean and avoid processed foods whenever possible. That being said, I LOVE food, love cooking, baking, eating...you name it!

Hello everyone! My name is Corrie and I am a 35 year old teacher, wife, and mother of two (boy 6 and girl 8). I have been *trying* to live a healthy lifestyle for the past couple years. But, we just recently moved to Michigan from South Carolina, and we are not keeping up with the eating part of our healthy lifestyle. {We are originally from MI, so super happy to be back home, and just taking advantage of the convenience of everything} In SC, we were in a rural and very small town, so we would have to drive 45 minutes for anything. Now that we are back "home," we are taking advantage of the convenience, but my body is paying for it. I have NOT weighed myself since being home, and I do not want to! Hopefully with some support, I can get back on track, along with my family. I am very excited because of the produce choices and the healthy food choices are much more easily attainable here, so it should be fine once we get it in our minds that we need vegis and not pizza I was a vegetarian for about 12 years, and about 2 years ago started eating chicken again. Then I read, "Eating Animals" and *tried* a vegan lifestyle, but that only lasted a few month since it was just a few months before moving. So now, I am kinda vegetarian, kinda vegan, but mostly eating junk food! My goal for today is to come up with an eating plan and do some grocery shopping. As far as exercising, I have participated in triathlons, 1/2 marathons (which is the longest distance I have ran), 5ks, I have done P90X a couple times, Insanity a couple times, I have done squat and push up challenges, and have done light weight lifting. I am looking for something new to challenge myself. But, I do not want to spend any money, so I am not going to purchase another beachbody system or anything like that. Also, with my new teaching job, I get a free family membership to the YMCA! I am very excited about that! So, anyone have suggestions of a good challenge or program? I have running shoes, a bike, some weights (5, 8, 10, and 12 pounds). Within those limits, any suggestions???? Thanks!
