    Hi

    Looking for lady friends to help inspire me on MFP

    I'm from the UK, North West, 39 and on a get fit mission before 40 hits. I work full time, study and have three kids so things are manic and some pals to help mutually motivate would be fab.

      Oooohhh replies :smiley: Many thanks ladies, I have sent you friends requests.
      I hope monday is treating you well. I got to the gym at 6am to find out class was cancelled and I had no swimming stuff so had to slope off. Floppy! Oh well - onwards and upwards hey!

      Hi, can I join you please? I will be 38 in a couple of months and the weight has been really piling om me recently. I have put on a 21lbs in this last year and another 14lbs in the previous year. I used to find keeping my weight down relatively easyish but now it is sticking to me like glue and breeding ferociously! I also have polycystic ovary syndrome which doesn't help, gah!!! I have hit 10 stone this week which is 21lbs over my max healthy weight as I am only 4ft 10inches. I really need to get control of my weight or else I am just going to keep gaining and gaining which is a terrifying prospect to be honest. I feel so uncomfortable physically and mentally within my own skin!

      Hey, I'm 43, married with an 8 yr old and also work full-time (sedentary job) in the US. Just started with fitnesspal a few weeks ago so I'm still fairly new to this. I'm finding it hard to get back into exercising after not doing it for so long. It would be great motivation to have more friends on here to help motivate each other. Anyone else that would like to add me please feel free. The more the merrier.

      Hi Ladies - Thanks for the wonderful response. I have sent you all Friends invite. You don't have to be 40 exact or under. Just looking for similar ages as we all likely to have similar frustrations, issues and life hiccups! I have a sedentary job also. I've started getting up at 5.45 to get off to the gym or swimming as with three kids and a full time job, it seems to be the only time i can slot a consistent hour in. I'm kinda of all or nothing so get demotivated if i can't keep on it. Looking forward to hearing of all your progress :smile:

      I'm 43 with 3 kids. I keep gaining, losing a little, and then gaining again (but a little extra! so I slowly keep getting bigger and bigger!).

      Losing and keeping the weight off is so hard. :( And I'm not very disciplined.

      But I NEED to do this, for my happiness and health.
