Hi everybody. I'm an active 30's lady looking for a few buddies to keep me company in my effort to lose about 20 lbs. I love running & cycling but in the summer I add kayaking/orienteering/hiking to the mix. If you love being active and aren't too dogmatic about it all maybe we'd be good MFP pals?

    You can add me! I'm in my early 40's and enjoy running. Right now I'm training for a half marathon and will be running a 10k later this month. In the summer I'll be running less so I can spend time biking & kayaking. Where do you like to kayak? I'm pretty lucky to be close to Lake Huron :).

    Hi! I'm early 40s and a newbie runner. Did my first 5K last fall and am training for a 10K this spring. I play hockey 2-4X a week, and have started cross-country skiing this winter. For the summer, I'm planning to do 2 sprint triathlons. I live in a major city (Toronto), and try to get out of town every weekend I can - especially in the summer to the cottage and/or camping.

    I eat regular food you can buy at any grocery store (the fresh stuff; not so much processed/prepared) and I do enjoy a drink..or three…when I can fit it into my calories. So far, I've lost over 70 pounds and I'm in my last 10-15, so I'm doing *something* right!

    Feel free to add me if I sound like a good fit to your style. I log daily and try to comment as often as i can. Cheers!

    Thanks for all the replies. I sent friend requests to you all. If I missed anybody it wasn't intentional!
