    Doubtful. Anyone else in their late 40s who lost their spouse unexpectedly earlier this year and trying to find any way forward? Sorry to be debbie downer, but I need friends that don't exist.

    Guess I'll go hiking. It's all that seems to keep me sane.

    I know it's not the same, but I lost my dad a couple of years back on Christmas Day and the pain of that led me to gain to my high weight via emotional eating. He was too young. I was too young to not have a dad (not even 30 yet.) I couldn't cope. It took me 2 years to turn my habits around. I've now lost the weight but the pain is still there. I just wanted to extend my understanding of loss, even if it's not the same as your story. I think having a community like this (not facebook) where you can really just say what it is that is truly on your mind, can really help.

    Hello everyone! I would love to have some friends on here. I'm 41 and a mom of four boys who are 15, 11,8, and 4. I lost 60 pounds when I was pregnant with my youngest due to morning sickness constantly. I've gained 30 of that back. 15 of those pounds have been since March when I quit smoking! We're talking about going on a cruise next year and I would love to be closer to my UGW.

  • Good morning/day to all. I'm Cari. Embarking on a new mission to take my life and live it instead of watching it pass me by. I was here years ago, quit and joined WW. Had a good run on there, but just can't focus on food all the time and all that seems to go with WW. Calories seem like a better decision for me.

    I'd love to make new friends and give and receive support.

    Seems to be a running theme of people coming back to MFP. I'l throw myself into that group as well. When I first started MFP I weighed 272 pounds, and got all the way down to 190. An accident and a knee surgery later and I got back up to 224. I have been back a little while so am working it off, but please feel free to add me if you like. Please include a message (even if it's just the word 'Anything') so I know it's not a bot.

    Currently 50, I identify as a nerd with geek-like tendencies.
