    Didn't realize I counted as middle age just yet, but I guess I do lol

    I am floundering without a buddy to help me stay motivated. Anyone want to add me (no clue how to do that) I am 39, two daughters, engaged, work nights as a CNA. I try to stay as boring as possible lol

    Hi Im Bob, Im 380 my highest weight. Im determined to get to 180 this time. im 41 so if I dont do it now its probably hopeless. Join me on my journey if this resonates then add me please.

    It’s never hopeless. My Dad is doing it and he’s 77. He’s inspired me.

    To add friends on MFP: (using the computer app)

    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" button 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 mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    My curling friends say Barbados is the best Because they only drink champagne on the beaches. Who wants to move?

    Hi everyone! My name is Kathy, I'm 37 and I live in Germany.

    I signed up here years ago and lost a bit but then I became ill, was stuck in bed for nearly two years, could barely move, let alone lead my own life and make my own decisions, so weight loss and fitness became less important. Nevertheless, I lost nearly 50 kg in that time and now that I am making my way back to life, I'm motivated to lose the rest and also became aware again of how hard it is to lose and stay on track when it's down to your own discipline. Self-control? Me? Hahaha...

    Anyway, I still feel like a teenager, more interested in fandom-things than adult-things. I like gaming, writing, cross stitching and knitting (nerdy things).

    If anyone wants to be friends, encourage each other or just say hi, I'm here for it.

    Hello all! Feel free to add me (40/M/SW:252lbs/CW:212/GW:180) I'm active in this app, and would like to see my feed busier than it currently is. I'm curious what everyone else does to lose weight, and I am always keeping my eyes open to fresh and interesting ideas. I've been doing intermittent fasting (16:8), calorie counting (1690 daily calories), and running (currently 2.2 miles non-stop).

    Good day Jo ~ as the rain ends there ~ so it begins here.... down deep South of Alabama. While I don't mind walking in the rain, in fact I find it refreshing, calming and down right fun.... I don't want to get struck by lightning. So today's physical work shall be done inside. lol.

    I actually quite like some rainy days, especially if I have no chores and can huddle up on the lounge with a blanket, some popcorn and a good movie.. blisssss

    Yeah, don't get struck by lightning, I hear that's no fun 😄
    Good morning middle-agers HHD 🐪🐫

    Now you're talking my kind of day.... while I don't get many days like that, where there is nothing to do, and raining. lol. Yes... bonus points if it's mid-afternoon, dark clouds and rain falling - popcorn (butter and light salt lol) have it cool in the house so that you can be under a blanket and not be hot.... a good movie.... and perhaps.... drift off to sleep.... awwww sheer bliss indeed

    Morning all.
    I normally do yoga before breakfast on a Thursday morning, through a Zoom class. I logged on two minutes late, and 15 minutes later I was still waiting in the virtual lobby. So I gave up on the yoga, and went for a walk instead. So I got to 10,000 steps before breakfast - it's something I may do more frequently, as I quite enjoyed it.

    A young buck wandered across the path at one point.t5vf7v52e2r3.jpg

    That's beautiful I think the wall would trump yoga if you get to see animals.

    I gave up on a step counter because I'd almost always have 10k steps before lunch. I realized I'm more active than I thought
