Hello, my name is Bea and I just got this app and started using it this week (free version only so far). I would love to connect with like-minded individuals in a similar age bracket! LOL! I am looking to lose about 10-15 lbs and cut down on my red wine - my stomach is not as flat as it used to be! I used to be very fit but now not so much! I am trying to get back on track with healthier eating (and less wine) but I am finding only 1200 calories a day challenging. I am determined to stick to it though! I walk a lot on my job so that helps! I am a busy single mom of teenage boys, with a hectic teaching job (music - very loud) and I love to walk/hike! :)

    Hi Bea! I’m Rosann from Louisiana. I’m not new to MFP, I’ve been using the app since 20011, on and off. I’ve never really stuck with it until I realized my age was creeping up on me the way my weight was, as well as my cholesterol

    Sorry not sure what happened but MFP cropped my comment. They shouldn't do that because I can't remember everything I typed the first time lol!! Anywho, long story short, I was saying you're welcome to friend me if you'd like. I'm 55. I've lost 42lbs since September 2017 through healthy eating (most days), exercise, and lots and lots of water. My cholesterol is now excellent per my doc so I'm a happy camper. I wish you well on your journey. It won't be easy but hang in there and it will get better!
