Hi all, I'm female,44 yrs old. I have friends on here of all ages, but I'd LOVE to have some more around my own age.
I'm here every day. I have a lot to lose and I'll keep logging even when I'm done, so I'll be here for a long long time.
Feel free to add me.0 -
I'm 49, and cant believe the self-loathing I see in this thread. Age has nothing to do with anything. It isn't harder, it's the exact same. The math is the exact same as it was before. Please do not friend me. I'll stick with friends from all ages that don't fall back on excuses and just work hard everyday. Cheers.
Aren't you a curmudgeon! Why did you even bother posting? Feeling lonely and self-loathing, maybe.
Shoe-fly! No one want to be friends with you...even though you're crying out for some.0 -
I'm always looking for fun accountability friends. I'm 45

Lol.
If you want friends in your age group, that's fine. I don't see what that has to do with anything. Age isn't a factor. Many people think age has an impact, and that is a false assumption. The calorie requirements for a 20 year old and a 50 year old are the same. It's calories in/out. It's not any harder at any age.
If you all want to cry in your red wine, have at it. It's not sweat off my brow.
I'm not bitter. I don't care what any one does. But, my point is absolutely correct and unarguable.
I'm already friends with some that have commented here. My point is that age doesn't matter. Just make friends with humans. That's all. All ages are struggling with various issues related to health.
Its up to the op what age group they request, the main point is everyone is on here and going to try and make some changes0 -

You had the audacity to insult everyone on a thread, and the individual who posted it, because they want to be friends with people on MFP in their own age group and you say you aren't bitter?
If you "don't care what what anyone does" than keep your mouth shut and move along.
There's nothing to see here for you.
Your point isn't arguable because you made no point.
The topic title is "Friends over 40?", not "I don't associate with humans of other ages so I only want to be friends with people over 40".
What is arguable is that age DOES matter in regards to weight loss and life experience.
A woman who is 22, unmarried and has no children has a completely different life experience, view of the world and metabolism than a woman who is 46, married, has 5 children and is going through menopause.
It's not just about "calories in and out" on MFP. It about supporting each other.
That 46 year old woman who goes to bed at 9am and wakes up at 5 to get five children fed, lunches made and on a school bus before 7 experiences different stressors and eating triggers than that 22 year old who went drinking with friends after work and is lamenting about all the calories she consumed in alcohol and about her jealous boyfriend who wants to break up with her.
Calories in and calories out might be the same- but psychology, metabolism and just about everything else is different between ages.
In addition, there are age related illnesses that effect weight loss and emotional state in individuals over 40 that don't effect younger individuals. Particularly in the digestive system. MS, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, cancer of the prostate, osteoporosis, arthritis, peri-menopause and menopause are all examples of illnesses that effect individuals over 40. These illness, in turn, effect diet, activity level and mental state. Not to mention the medications, like prednisone, that effect weight loss.
Now, it's your turn to go "cry in your red wine" because you have just been SCHOOLED!0 -

I'll be turning 39 in a few days... can I be considered as a 40-something-in-training?
no self-loathing here. I liked being 37 because its a prime number, and 36 because it's a square triangle number and also has loads and loads of factors. So 38 has been a bit of a let-down. 39 is kind of cool because it's 13x3 i.e. the product of two primes, sometimes considered a semi-prime, and also because back in the day when I was young and a bit.... I don't know... silly...? I was quite taken by some of the works of Aleister Crowley, and 39 is a back to front 93. Also, I think the first ever hockey number I wore was 39. 40 will be dull... I mean a dull old multiple of ten. 41 will be cool because I'll be a prime number again, and then 42 is the answer to life the universe and everything and that will be amazing.
And I like to be friends with humans. Actually, it would be cool to be friends with a chimpanzee too. Or a bonobo (so long as said bonobo understands that humans are very choosy about who they have sex with and being human is an essential (but not sole) criteria). Actually, really, I'd like to go and meet Homo erectus people. See how they live n stuff...
Excuse me rambling on, I'm in training for being an old fart.0 -
Just turned 48. Love my 40's, do not love how much harder we have to work to get healthy. Add me if you like.0

I'm 41 and active! I've had my ups and downs, but overall feel good about where I am today and what I've done to get here. I try to be positive and am always looking for a new thrill!0

It's okay with me if you're gay Roanokejoe. I'll consider you my friend if you're friendly. :flowerforyou:
I'm not gay, but I have a ton of gay friends. Anytime someone uses the phrase "socially conservative," it usually means that person is anti-gay, and especially anti-gay marriage. I don't associate with such people.0 -
