Hi all! My name is Mini and I am from Florida! It's time to get into my bathing suit and I can't bring myself to do it! I want to lose 30lbs and run a 5k (when it's cooler!)! I have always been able to drop weight quicky but now the age is creeping up on me and I am extremely busy I can't seem to find time and it's HARD! I want someone to hold me accountable and will support me and encourage me. I would love to find people to help and give pointers on eating. I have began by cutting carbs and limiting myself to a 1000 calorie diet.
I can't wait to meet many new friends!!!!

Feel free to friend me - personally I don't ever want to go to 1000 cal, but then I'm not in a furry hurry and I know for me i'd be crashing my metabolism - It is a hell of a lot harder over 40 ain't it!
You go to the gym and bring it and then going up stairs seems like mount everest the next day.
Keeping track with the app keeps my feet to the fire otherwise it'd be just like in my 30's and 20's - lose a nice chunk and then put it back on plus in a year till i stop crying and get mad again. That gets so old.
Any other over 40's boys and girls out there in need of friend feel free - especially if you are in that place where you got so much to lose you can't see the other side of it - I'm in it for the long haul!1 -
Hey all ... looking to for the accountability ... the problem is, I get out here to these message/discussion boards/forums and make a comment, then can't ever find it again?! I've commented about 6 times and for the life of me, have no idea in which forum I posted. Anyway: I'm a binge eater and binge exercise-er ... I'm binging again. I'll exercise until in pain. These habits aren't healthy, so ... what can I do? It's who I am. Minigwatson, welcome. I think the idea of coming out to MFP in and of itself is an important step. It's a visual. Feel free to friend me and we can cheer each other on!0
