I did a couple of rounds of MFP, but with 12 months of frustrating thyroid and hormonal health issues (and weight gain!) I threw in the towel. I am feeling better and seem to be on the right dosage of meds, so I want to take a stab at this again. I follow a lower carb food plan coupled with Paleo/Primal (but will never be 100%!) Would love to connect with other folks my age, even if we are not exactly on the same path. We all have the same goal in mind...to lose weight and be healthy, right? Friend me if that sounds good to you, too, and we'll move forward together!

    Keep forgetting to put this note in.
    If there is someone you'd like to friend, tap/click on their picture, picture icon, or name. You get a menu that includes Add Friend. Enter your name and a message. A friend request then is sent by MFP to that person. They then can accept or decline.
    Most of us have small friend lists, as it takes time to fulfill the unwritten social contact of reading posts, and offering encouragement and insight on food diaries.

    I, too am coming back! So not really a newbie but a newbie again!

    @Grok_Granny I am on Paleo eating plan totally. I have done very well and do not see me eating standard menu again. But, I was diagnosed with a rare stomach disease (SM) a year ago. Paleo seems to be my answer for the SM as once I started I have not had many of the daily pains that are associated with this disease.

    Hi there ! My name is Mary Ann & I live in NY. Just turned 64. Been on MFP for awhile after losing weight with South Beach Diet. I used to be so consistent, logging daily. Had actually "joined" this group but never even got around to saying "hi" ..... work & home gobbled up all my time. Now I'm on MFP again ..... hope to hear some pleasant conversation & occasional advice. Wishing everyone a super day !
