in Introduce Yourself
I have been on MFP for a couple of months. I am in my 40s and have been a little overweight, most of my life. I have been on a couple of different weight loss plans, before.
I went to see a nutritionist and I and tracking my calories through MFP.

Want to lost 30 to 40 pounds and get in shape to stay healthy for the rest of my life. I also want to get strong, so getting on a workout schedule. I live in the city so I do get a ton of walking in, but I am adding more to lose weight and lifting weights.

I would like to meet new firends to help keep me motivate when I need it. And to give any tips that they have.

Hope to meet some new people. :):flowerforyou:

    Welcome! MFP is a great tool to help you on your weight loss journey. Making friends on here is a good way to keep you accountable and motivated. It's also a great way to get ideas on what's working for others and meal ideas. I have sent you a friend request so we can help support each other I am still on my journey. Anyone feel free to add me!

    I am trying to lose weight as well and have just started this. I could use all the help I can get. I have a thyroid problem and losing weight is hard for me.

    Hi, so glad you have decided to go the healthy route. I have been on and off. I would really like to stay motivated. I have found that weight doesn't just "fall" off when I diet anymore. I am 43 and have 3 kids and a busy life. I recently started exercising and it feels great! I just started a weight circuit program also. I have read that over 40 building muscle tone is important. We can all definitely use some extra motivation at times.

    Getting stronger by strength training is the way to go. Throwing in cardio now and then is ok. First of all throw away the weight scale, it is not your friend! It takes persistence and patience and the results will come.
