    To add friends on MFP:

    1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
    2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
    3) Click on the "Add Friend" on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note menitionting where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    Hi all, it was a nice long weekend, with great weather.
    We had lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures. Got out x-country skiing a couple of times and snowshoeing yesterday.

    Need to re-boot, re-set, re-whatever. But definitely need to stop going to happy hours! Had a rough night of sleep, woke up with a food/alcohol hangover, and am not feeling at my best.

    After the week from hell I spent time today hiking. Rhode Island has no true mountains but we do have some very tall hills. I tried Mt. Tom today. The summit is 402ft. I made 208ft. See thenledge begins me? That starts an incredibly step climb. Near vertical actually. I couldn’t do it with my asthma. So my new goal for the year is to develop stamina and make another attempt in the fall. Pardon the hat hair.

    Hills are tough. Good on ya' for setting a goal to reach the top. You'll do it this fall!

    Can’t let a steep hill get in my way. Asthma or not. They are there to be conquered.

    Hi! I'm almost 40 and I'm ready to get back in shape. I'm tired of being tired lol I'm looking for fun ways to get exercise in my day, but don't have a lot of time; I work FT and have a young child. I also struggle with overeating, I'm a mess! I use to play roller derby, dance, do yoga, etc and I miss it all. It would be nice to find people on here to connect with and possible have a partner(s) in this journey. Please feel free to reach out!!!!

    For those who are out of shape, senior adults, or have a disability that makes working out harder, check out the Eldergym site online. Run by a physical therapist with geriatric certification. There are free online resources, Youtube videos, a Facebook page, and a fee based option for those who can afford it. I have been using the program for a month now and seeing results in my core strength, flexibility, and balance.

    Depends on the day. Not age related for me. I have felt stuck in each of those situations at various times in my life. I remind myself that I am the one who has to change those situations.
