    I have plenty to say... When cornered. For right now, I will be brief. I am a male, 42-year-old software developer who has been writing health, nutrition and exercise software for years. I know a great deal about what food and activities make our body happy. I use MFP to log my calories and keep me honest on my goal of losing a few pounds and reducing my body fat % to a reasonable 20%. I work hard and have four kids at home, so exercise is tough to come by. When do I get the time, I love to ride my road bike as far and as fast as possible. Or jog for about 50 feet before my feet/legs start to hurt :)

    I am friendly, outgoing person, who loves to talk about just about anything.

    Please be my MFP friend :) I will do my best to be a good mentor.

    Richard

    Hi I'm looking for a mentor... I signed up on this site almost a week ago. I am 22 years old 5ft7 215. I want to loose about 60 lbs. I am struggling with the calorie workout thing... I am working out and under eating i guess? I'm not sure. I just need someone who can help me with a plan. I'm really good with sticking to it . I just suck as making a plan! If anyone is interested in some light mentoring it would be a huge helpp :)

    Hi crystalkirven, and welcome! Have a read through the mentors listed in this thread, and try sending a PM to some of them that sound like you might have common ground; you'll find someone who will be mutually beneficial.

    Hi, I'm Amy and I am having to struggle to keep off extra pounds for the first time in my life. My friends don't really care about health and fitness so I'm looking for someone to cheer me on. :flowerforyou:

    Yes there are! Just click that "search" link up above, type "PCOS mentor", click "search", and Vie-oh-lah! You will find at least two people willing to mentor who have experience with PCOS. Best of luck!

    Hello!

    I'm not new to myfitnesspal for calorie tracking but I am new to participating in the forums. I am also just getting back into shape after having a baby (8mo. old now). I am currently 5' 4.5" and 151lbs. I am looking to drop fat weight and keep my lean muscle weight. I'm not sure how this mentor thing works, but I am interested in connecting with others who have had to lose this type of weight. I'm looking to drop about 23 lbs.

    Adopt me please :) I'm 32 5'2 and I think I weigh 180lbs I need to weigh in... I'm pretty confused as I thought I'd try the 5:2 diet but not sure if I still stick to 1200 calories on non fast days.. I've joined the gym and do mostly classes there.. I've tried aqua, step, spinning, freestyle yoga and Pilates. I'm gonna go to the gym at least 3 times a week last week I went 6 times doing classes. I want to start weight training at the gym aswell as I've read good results on here for weight loss. I'm rubbish when it comes to my diet I'm on a budget and I don't like seafood. I would really love some help please xxx

    Hi to all the newbies :)

    There are a number of people who are willing to help out the newcomers, but it is best if there is some common ground or shared views on health/fitness/fat loss, please take a few minutes to read through some posts and/or profiles of the mentors (there is a full list on pg 1), and make contact with the one you think fits you best.

    Welcome and good luck!
