    Hello,
    Not sure how this works.
    I see a lot of people asking to be added.
    I am middle aged too, so could you please add me to whatever I need to be added to be in the middle age group?
    Thank you very much!

    Hello and welcome. You are in the middle aged group just by posting. Easy peasy. If you want more friends you can ask to be added as a friend. Or you can send friend requests yourself.

    Hi. 46, feel 66 but my brain refuses to say anything other than 42 when people ask me how old I am. I just restarted things here after a 70 COVID weight gain. I swear a lot and call most people dude for some weird reason.

    Feel free to add me if you appreciate sarcasm, self-deprecating humor, and swear words.

    Haha, I love your sarcasm & humor! But Dude???!! 😂🤣 What?! Too funny.

    To add friends on MFP on the desktop 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.

    Formerly, there was an option to send a message along with the request. That feature doesn't work any longer.

    An introduction is still a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc. That way they know you are not a spammer or bot. Now I send that note after I have been added.

    Feel free to add me if you like. Always glad to share encouragement and support. I belong in the "older than dirt" group, but they don't have one of those. HAHA! 😁

    Unfortunately, you can't send a note any more. You have to already accept a friend to send a note.

    And always be on the lookout for creeps asking to be friends. Seems like another round of 'em are out and about.

    Omg there are so many creepy friend requests these days. I guess they have to try anything?

    It's a busy week here in. I start school tomorrow! My son has orientation during my first class and hubs has a court hearing all day so I guess I'll be doing wine and beverage management class in my car in the school parking lot. I had hoped to run on the school track but I guess that won't be happening. I'll need to figure out time when I get my workouts in.

    I've really cut back on my creepy FRs these days....just about a dozen a day now! 🤣

    Please report these creeps to staff so they can get the accounts deleted or at least locked until the rightful owner shows up. They have been hacked.

    35. Looking for motivation and support in finding better work/life balance, which includes exercise - it's always the first thing to go when I'm stressed out. Feel free to add me!

    I'm the same way. Workouts always seem to get rescheduled when I'm busy or stressed. And yet, I know I always feel less stressed after a workout. lol

    Getting back to this as worked for me before. Looking for friends to keep me motivated and on track while I look to lose 32lbs.

    Started again Monday at 14st 8lb, I run regularly when not injured but probably need to get into some workouts to build strength and durability into my knee.

    Also just starting my 3rd year of a Business Managment degree through Open University and work.

    Feel free to send some friend requests my way to build up the motivational group that helps us all get to where we want.

    48 here

    Lost 300lbs using MFP a few years ago. Arthritis in the knees and covid lockdowns have slid me backwards, but im back on the MFP bandwagon again.... been back for 2 weeks, down 13lbs so far.

    Feel free to add me if you are looking to support each other. My diary is open.

    Take care!

    52 here, highest was 2007 when I was 237 at the Dr's office.

    Started with Nutrisystem, then started my own thing, got down to 175 by 2010 & have been 170-190 for the last decade (variation directly tied to logging my food & exercise - or not.)

    Was 180 at the 1st of the year & really decided to hammer it - and I'm now down to 157.5.

    Although I've been religiously on a circuit training regimen of 3 days on / 1 day off / 365 days a year, the key for me was completely cutting out dairy!

    I was no-carb for awhile & was really overdoing the cheese. Cutting that out really seemed to jumpstart something
