looking for fun friends

Options
HI!! I am new to your group. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am April, I Love to run, kayak, watch NFL football and love to have fun and laugh. I would love to lose 20 pounds. I took a break from MFP for a while and decided to come back. I am tired of getting friend request from 20 year olds so it's nice to find this group. Looking forward to meeting new friends!

    Hi April. I'm Julie. I also love to run. I love anything outdoors which is hard to find in OKC. I don't watch football (or any sports for that matter) but it's nice to meet you! Welcome.

    Hi April! I also like to run but don't have as much time to devote to it as I like. I am trying to lose ten pounds- it's coming of very slowly! Nice to meet you :)

    HI! Thank you so much for the nice welcome. I know what your talking about with time issues. I usually go bright and early. I try to run 4-5 days a week.

    Hey April! I am new here too. I agree , nice to have the age thing in common. Good job on the running. That's not easy to get motivated so early. Where are you from with the weather being so nice? I am in Texas and its miserably hot!! I have about 30lbs to lose . I will be doing my run/walk tonight when it cools down. Nice to meet you!!

    HI! Thank you mdbourns. I am from Michigan. It's been quite nice lately. I have a couple friends from Texas. They agree with you about the miserable heat. If I was 20-something I would not find 40 or 50 year old friends. But that's just me. :smile: Enjoy your weekend!

    Welcome April. The flip side of those 20yr old fr. requests is that you are their motivation. Does make you wanna smile heh? :)
