My name is Kari, and I've made my New Years Resolution to try to get back in shape, loose some weight, and overall become more physically fit. I am in my mid 40s, and have used MFP and Runtastic off and on for about a year now, but my goal for 2014 is to commit 6 days/week to doing exercise - either cardio or strength based.
I would like to become friends with more people (either newbies like myself or mentors that can motivate and encourage me as I motivate and encourage them) :flowerforyou:

New to mfp myself, but not new to loosing and gaining and then gaining some more. Somewhere I just lost control and woke up weighing some 100 pounds heavier then I should. At 44, it's no longer about vanity. I am acutely aware that I will not live much longer if I allow myself to keep on the road I have been. Reality hits pretty hard when the Dr's are calling you Morbid obese. In other words DEADLY FAT!!!! I may not have all the tricks, and I will not always be a good cheerleader, I absolutely SUCK at changing my diet for foods I had refuse to eat 30+ years ago, so I will not suggest you eat all your GREENS either. I will never be one of those 5am roll out of bed and run 20 miles or insist that you boost your cardio up to max level. I will however, understand how incredibly difficult this lifestyle change will be and will offer support, a kind word, and maybe a laugh or two. You and others are welcome to add me as a friend.0

Hi there, I'm 45 and joined MFP in 2011 but just came back in the fall of 2013 after a stint with Weight Watchers. I have about 20 more pounds to go and am committed to sticking with losing that and keeping all the weight I lost off this time! I've been up and down over the years and I don't want to ever go back up again. Feel free to add me as a friend.0

Hello. I've been a member MFP since August 2013, but just started using the program in earnest five days ago. I could use new friends to help me stay motivated. I'm 46 and have about 50 pounds to lose.0

Hi! I just turned 40 in October, and have lost up to 38# using MFP and walking. I am a stress eater, and have gained a lot of it back this holiday, with family issues and starting a new RN program on Monday. BUT I am determined to take control and get back to my goal weight and STAY THERE while still living my (busy) life.
I am inclined to focus on balancing foods, I don't eat much fast food at all, and post recipes to the database that I use on my list. I believe in keeping it positive, but am not above some dark humor about this whole process. Feel free to add me, I will be there to help!0
