57 and striving to better life

Hi all, been using mfp for about 2 1/2 weeks now and I also brought a FitBit Flex to help measure my walking.
After talking with a friend who is 74 and in better shape than me (quite embarrassing) , he suggested that I try using MFP site.
Living alone with the poor Me's obviously is not the way to live. Getting off my duff now finally.
Have started buying real food instead of eating Boston Market and Hungry Man frozen dinners.

Wouldn't mind having a few friends along for the journey.

  • Hi there.. please feel free to add me as a friend. I'm new here as well and I must admit I totally get the frustration about older friends in better shape - I have several, but I want to work on changing the shape I'm in to keep up with them!

    Best of luck on your journey!

    I also am working on making changes to improve the second half of my life. I know what my struggles are and if you need support or need to talk let me know. The hardest part is taking the first step and reaching out to others.. Good luck:smooched: :smile:

    I am 52 and finally think I am getting the hang of this. Having MFP friends has REALLY helped me more than I could have imagined. Please feel free to add me. Anyone else as well.
