in Introduce Yourself
HI
I'm 52, married, and have been on mfp before when I managed to lose 50 pounds but have since gained most of it back.

I've been back on here for 9 weeks and have been fairly sensible, but I can already see that I'm not finishing my logging entries on days where I'm being a bit lax, and I'm still making the occasional bad choice.
Would love to have some friends on here that are the type that take an active interest in each other, are happy to cajole a bit but are happy to joke around too.

I started at 267, and at 6'2, I'm thinking I should be aiming to be under 200 probably.
Anyone want to help me get there ?

    Thanks for the friend requests.
    Got quite a few which is nice, but also brings so much pressure. Better get my act together now people are keeping an eye on me............ :D

    I have just realized I have no idea how to send a friend request, is there a button? Anyway I have a couple of years on you and would be happy to bust your chops when you start gaining. feel free to add me. Came here 2 1/2 years ago and lost 53 pounds. I then put twenty back on and I am now trying to get down to a better weight. I have about 12 left to go.

    Sending a request also. It's easy for me to log at work but when I get home, sometimes I'm too busy.

    Similar story here. I'm 53 and need to lose about 40ish lbs. Done it before with the help of MFP but had no accountability/support set up so gained it and more back again. Currently 5'5" and 206lbs. Please count me in as I want to see less of myself! Request sent.

    I'm with you. I'm 51, 6' started at 275, lost 50, gained it back and now down to about 205. Now that I'm getting closer to a somewhat normal weight i can tell I'm wanting to slack off. I need some accountability too!
