Hi,
I'm Amy. I'm 50 years old and live in FL. I'm not working now because of some disabilities.

I'm looking to connect with female friends, who are over 40, that have their diaries open to their friends, and they log in them. What I'm looking for are these people in this category that try to eat well most of the time, and don't mind that a lot of the time that my calories are low. After a few more weeks, my calories are going to increase.

I'm frustrated with things like day after day over time, viewing someone's diary who just eats pizza and adds extra fattening things on it, and then eats sweets the rest of the day. And, I've been so supportive.

Also, a lot of my friends aren't logging any food or exercise anymore; they are just showing up. I even send them messages to see how they are doing.

I"m looking for people that are serious about this. I also know that all of our abilities on our weight loss journey does get slack at times, and I understand that. That's just life. You just keep trying.

I love to read each of my friend's diaries most days and comment on them. I also love to help any of my friends that I can

I want friends like all this who are trying. Just trying is important.
Amy

    Feel free to add me. 42 with a diary open to friends. I've been trying to eat well, though I was on vacation recently so you'll see a series of days with restaurant foods.

    I'm 44, eat pretty healthy most of the time, check in a bunch, and have my diary open to my friends. Trying to keep my protein up and other than too many lunches during the week I tend to cook most meals. My calories have also been a bit lower lately than I like, since I've not been exercising enough and eating dinner absurdly late (and not hungry right before bed) due to work being long hours in the last couple weeks, but that should return to normal and I might even get a bit more creative with the cooking.

    I'll send you a friend request.

    I'm 45 and re-commiting to this - my diary is open. I am really trying to "eat right" and stick to my exercise plan. I plan to be here frequently, would welcome suggestions and support and would do the same. Feel free to add me :)

    You can add me. I'm 40, days away from turning 41, and have to keep calories at 1200 or work out for more. So my foods have to be healthy and filling. I log on every day. Fortunately I have some very encouraging, inspiring friends on mfp, sounds like what you need too.

    I log everyday. I eat healthy for the most part. I am in a lull right now. I lost a bunch of weight. Now I only have about 25 more to lose and I wouldn't say I'm on a plateau physically. I think I'm on a plateau mentally. I'm not sure what I need to move forward, but I'm not giving up. It will come to me.

    Add me. I'm 43, log daily, very little junk -I'm not going to say never, but only when I can fit it in. I also comment on the diaries because I want people to know that I care and that I'm paying attention. I dont mind a honest critique of my diet choices. If you see me slipping feel free to ask me what's going on. :wink:

    :flowerforyou: I am 60 and have my diary open! I have lost a lot of weight on here! I normally am on here everyday but I had some major surgery in December (had most of my stomach removed & some of my small intestine)! Last week had to go back for more major surgery to have more intestine removed! So, my calories have been very low but should now increase slowly but I do eat according to what I can eat right now under strict medical supervision! I have to take a lot of vitamins (chewable) since my surgery in order to be as healthy as I can be until I heal! I am sending you a friend request! I hope you do accept! Together we can encourage & support each other!

    Hi, Amy. My diary is open to friends and I'm trying to eat healthier for my diabetes. I'm limited on what vegetables I can eat because so many interact with the blood thinner I have to take. Friend me if you like and good luck to you.

    Hi, I'd love to be added. I am 40, mostly vegetarian and try to eat healthy. I'm completely honest in my food diary (what's the point in NOT being honest - only lying to ourselves...)
    Cheers <3:flowerforyou:
