    Hi everyone! Checking in from Chicago here. I'm a 49yo married guy with a husband who's never had a problem keeping off the extra weight, leaving me to my own devices for healthier eating and exercise.

    I'm looking to meet other guys bordering the 50 year mark who can identify with any of the following:
    • desk job
    • committed once I get going
    • difficult to get started again when I fall off the wagon (healthy eating, regular exercise, etc.)
    • not one competitive bone in my body
    • heavily motivated when I work with any kind of trainer or coach
    I track food here and activity on fitbit. I'd really like to get into some regular conversations/check-ins with others to see how we're doing and offer up any tips and suggestions regarding food and exercise.

    I also started a facebook group for guys around 50 using fitbit. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/FitbitGuys) It's new and there are only a few of us, but I've already gotten some great tips on a few things I've been interested in.

    Looking forward to getting the conversations and support going!

    -I have a Chapstick addiction I tried breaking multiple times but... It's just so hard!!

    I've been on MPF before, but never gave it much thought. Back this time more serious. Would be great to have other friends, so we can chat about what works and doesn't work. Or just some encouragement time to time. Add me as a friend :-)

    CreepySteve here. Feel free to add me. I'm lonely.

    This isn't my first time on MFP. I was on it a while back and did pretty well. After a while i felt like i understood nutrition enough that i didn't need to track on the app anymore. I did okay for a while, but a lot of big life changes all at once (including my first boyfriend) ended up knocking me off track. Now I'm back on the straight and narrow path to health.

    1./2./3. Chicago.

    4. I currently work with databases. I'd rather be the old man who lives in a theatre building that knows the building better than anyone should.

    5. -I'm a Nintendo *kitten*
    - i used to work in a haunted house
    - i like workingwith shadow puppets
    - i could really go for a bloody mary
    - Last time I was on MFP I wouldn't have "wasn't qualified" to this group. Now I am. Is that a NSV?

    4. I'm a math teacher on a elementary school and still is wondering what would actually be my dream job although leaning to something with books and publishing.
    5. I watch a lot more TV than I should, I have a big family that I hide from time to time because is overwhelming sometimes, I don't have much friends, but them ones I have I'll do a lot for, I have terrible sleeping patterns and I hate driving
