Good afternoon!

I am a "newbie" to this group, but not to MFP. I am 43 years old, have 3 boys (18,15,10) and a DH. I work full-time in education (but off for a little bit now since it is summer...) and live in Ontario, Canada, Looking to find others who are having a challenge "staying on track" and those who have figured it out and have tips to share!

    Hi, I am not a newbie here, but have been on MFP for awhile. I have 2 boys (9 & 10). My wife works as an Educational Assistant. I also am from Ontario. Anyone can add me if they wish.

    Started yesterday, but not new to MFP. I'm 42 from Indiana. Married 20 years & work for a hospital system in process improvement. Have 30-40 lbs. to lose.

    I've used MFP for a long time to track calories, and more recently, exercise. I'm 47 & working on not just losing weight but improving overall health including strength, flexibility, and balance.
  • I just joined this group and have been using MFP, off and on, for a while. This is my first attempt to really get the most out of it. I am 43 and have decided that it is time to put me first. I am down 24 pounds since 2/27/17 and still have about 40 more to go. I have 7 children, 4 are mine and 3 wonderful bonus children- age ranges are 22-8 and one perfect grandson.
    I work full-time for our local hospital as an insurance specialist and am in school full-time for healthcare management.
    Friend request would be great :smile:
