    Married but no kids. We live in Santa Fe, NM, one of the most amazing places for outdoor activities -- challenging to say the least at 7500 feet above sea level (that's about a mile and a half!). My husband and I nearly died the first time we played tennis here, and that was for about 15 minutes. 10 years later and we can play for a little over an hour without getting too tired. We've both shaped up quite a bit in the past couple of years. Now I'm looking to ratchet it up a bit, be more accountable and lose those 10 pounds I seemed to have found last fall.

    You're totally right! When I cook, i still make the recipes mom taught me, but they serve four, at least! Some nights I don't want to cook, and the leftovers are great, but there are nights where I'd rather just grab a sandwich because it's easy, and I'm tired. If I HAD to cook for a family, I would, but just for myself, I go, "eh, whatever." I know lots of singles who do this too.


    I'm right there with you. Especially in the summer (I'm in TX) and it's just to hot to turn on the oven, the sandwich is my best friend !!

    I'm in South Florida, which is also ungodly hot. During the summer I live on salad, and stuff like guacamole and hummus!

    So great to hear so many people are like me without kids.

    I like kids most of the time but have zero desire to have any of my own - never have. I'm 41 and about to get married (in August) and I have two fur babies (kitties).

    My man is very slim and eats whatever he likes without putting on a pound! He often eats what I prepare and supplements it with additional sandwiches or cereal if he hasn't had enough carbs. Luckily he doesn't really do sweet things so I don't have them in the house, but he drinks a lot of beer. I don't drink at all now.

    Feel free to add me and I'll message you to add you.
  • Single and am an empty nester. I guess that'll make me qualified. lol

    44, married, no kids. Wanted to have kids, but couldn't. Now we just enjoy each other's company. We go out. We travel. Life is good. As I'm getting older, I've notice the body slowing down so I'm fairly active. I bike to work, run, and recently started strength training. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I'm 43 and have a step daughter, but no kids of my own. She does not live with us during the year.

    I hope this topic picks up again. I don't know about you, but I found that without having kids, I started the peri-menopause earlier than average. I am battling some serious hormone issues and have put on the weight around the middle. I used to have a flat stomach, but no more.

    Anyone else out there having some of these challenges? What are you doing to help get rid of the middle section?

    Hi there! I am 42, divorced, no kids. I have one fur baby named Gary. He is a chihuahua. I live in Minnesota. Working on losing weight, eating healthier and exercising. I am not much of a cook. Trying to learn. It is hard to cook for one. Would love to connect with other like minded and similar lifestyle people to support one another. Feel free to add me too.

    Hello Everyone!

    I'm a 41 year old singleton with no kids. I'm a shift worker who lives a rather solitary life and seem to use food as my best friend, lover, entertainment, and band-aid. I've got 50 lbs to lose, 30 of those I gained in just the last 18 months. My weight gain has significantly effected my confidence and self-esteem.......something I am desperate to change.

    So, here's to you and you and you and I! Cheers and good luck!

    Feel free to friend me, along with a message advising where you found me. Thanks!
