I'm Looking for Friends to Share Motivation and Support With!

I am looking for friends on this journey! I am a 48yo married step mom of two girls and mom to two 4 legged kids! I have recently started a journey to go from Flab to Fab :) I was REALLY dreading the 50 birthday 14 months from now and really getting negative about the fact that my head wanted to tell me that it was to late the get fit. One day I just decided to not listen to that and instead of dreading the next 14 months, I was going to take it as a time to be the most AMAZING 50 EVER when that birthday arrives! I know that support and fellow motivators is the way to go - so I'm hoping that I will be able to get some fellow travelers and motivators on this journey!

    That's amazing! It's never too late to start... By the way you look much younger than 48! I'm in this group for an August challenge that I really think is going to help keep me on track... I'll see if I can find the link to send to you if you would like to join

    I didn't receive your friend request so I tried to send you one and it keeps telling me you deleted your profile... Just in case you didn't and it's some kind of problem with MFP (cause that happens sometimes) here's the link to the group
    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/107652-mission-to-a-healthy-you

    And I'll try sending another friend request in a little bit to see if it goes through

    Yes - I think something is wrong because I have like NO friends and I've reached out. I'm not tech savvy at all! Haha!

    Just wanted to let you know that it is never too late to start. Never to late to do anything you might want to do or be. I started at 45 and i am 48 now. My goal is to be the fittest Me by the time i am 50. Its not easy and some days will make you feel like giving up but, i assure you it will be worth it. What ever your goals are...smash them! By the way when i click your profile it says user deactivated.

    I will be 50 in November, and although I have a target weight, my main goal is also to be fit. I have just restarted MFP (on day three) after losing some on Weight Watchers, I realize I much prefer calorie counting and the support in this community looks wonderful.

    Hi Skinnysister!! Glad you're here!! I would like to friend you, however it appears that although I obviously have an account and am using it - when people try to be friends it says my account doesn't exist. Sooooo I just have to chat this way. Wish you the best in your journey!

    Thanks for trying for me. I've email the site with no luck. I just can't figure it out

    Ok - I'm trying again. I reset my password through MFP link to see if that would fix the glitch that's showing my account closed. Would someone try to friend me again and let me know what happens? Thanks so much!
