in Introduce Yourself
Hi All

Waterlily here.... I from Australia and looking to connect with others 40+ (or thereabouts!)
Have just recently totally changed my eating habits and am much healthier, suffering a lot less pain and lighter for it.
I still have a long way to go.... about 9kgs.... I have Fibromyalgia so it may take a bit of time to reach my goal.
Hoping to find some MFP friends along the way to make the journey more interesting.
So if you are interested in food, fitness, friends and fun.....please add me!

Cheers
Waterlily

    Hi Waterlily- I'm from the US - in Minnesota. I'm a married mom of 2 teenage boys. I log in every day and I've been on MFP for about 6 weeks. Welcome to MFP!
    I have a long way to go also - I need to lose about 75 lbs.
    feel free to add me for support. Anyone feel free to add me. It is helpful to allow others to view your diary. Mine is open to friends.

    I'm nearing my 38th bday. I'm on MFP daily as well and have a 100% on plan attitude. I'm losing 100lbs and my goal is to hit it by May. I'm a single mom of six kids (18 down to 6) and a midwife. I'm engaged and planning to marry my best friend from Wales as soon as immigration hurries it up and finishes our paperwork!!

    Hello, I'm a bit older....59. I'm married and a retired school teacher. I live in Southern California in the US. I signed up here a few months ago but have just gotten serious. My doctor laid the cards on the table that I need blood pressure meds. I talked him into giving me a chance to lose weight. So, here I am. Please feel free to add me!

    eh, 43 here...have fibromyalgia too, makes it tough some days to work out, but I do enjoy my hatha yoga. In the US. Actually not here to lose weight, but clean up the diet and such. I log in pretty much daily. :flowerforyou:

    Indeed Fibro can certainly get in the way.... my favourite way to exercise is on the treadmill....even on the bad days I can at least walk a bit!

    Hiya, another 40 (about to be 41) y.o. new join here! A combination of stress, depression, physical illness and quitting smoking have all combined to give me a 25lb excess of weight that needs to go - NOW. I'm recovering from surgery 4 weeks back, so just getting back into physical activity after a long period when I couldn't.

    A personal cheering-squad makes all the difference :D
