I have been on & off MFP for a few years now. I'm creeping back to my heaviest weight and I'm not liking it! My main focus right now is food control. I'm having total knee replacement on the 18th and that limits my exercise. I need accountability to lose weight once and for all.1

@rmmckinney1966 I feel ya. I don't have to have knee replacement surgery, but I am having issues with them. Right about the time I was getting motivated with workouts. Now I am trying to figure out what I can and can't do and in the process gave up all the other good habits I created. I tried to add you, but apparently we can't add friends right now. If your profile is up to date, I am only a town away from you!0

Yes, I’m in the country, Paris. I think my biggest obstacle is snacking and logging. I know if I log I do better.0

Hello, just restarting after some years away. Tried a few other approaches and not much progress. Approaching 40 next year and determined to get it together before then!0

Hello everyone. I am in my mid 40s and I found this place from @george_ahhh. I am liking what I see in terms of healthy balance of nutrition and exercise. I am losing weight the past couple months due to depression but trying to tackle the issues in a more positive aspect by working out and eating right.2

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.0 -
Hey guys, I'm 42 and have a little over 100 pounds to lose. I recently quit drinking after 26 years of abusing my body with alcohol (today is day 5). It has been rough but today I decided to step on a scale and saw that I have lost 7 pounds so I decided that this is the perfect time to keep going. I reinstalled the app and am ready to do this! Feel free to add me so we can do this together.7

Oh boy...newbie question alert! Why doesn't the weight ticker work any longer? Has it been not working for some time?0

It's good to see you pop in here. How is your wife doing?
Thanks for asking, @IslandGal3 .
She's hanging in there. Along with the family. On a chemo holiday right now. Her mood is better but the pain is constant. She has discussed stopping the chemo and just letting nature take its course. Some hard decisions ahead. The classic "no good choices" situation.8 -
Thank you for your kindness, @IslandGal3.1

51 here ... 52 on Sunday :-D
This is my third run at mfp, the first two times were very successful but thing went to pot when I stopped tracking. Imagine that. Well, time to turn on the engines and lose those 28 pounds. Looking for friends, but usually only accept friends, male and female, who show their faces as it makes the "friendship" more real -- just is better that way.
Good luck meeting your goals everyone. Cheers.

Well, hello "middle aged" and not so middle aged people.
Kind of scary realising I'm middle aged, soon a senior? Oh noooo!
I might be considered a MAMIL (middle aged man in lycra) 🤣, but really I'm not, though I am wearing Pikachu-coloured lycra very often.
Feeling younger than the age of my bones, I intend to keep it that way; it's just those extra kgs that keep sneaking up to me. I wonder why?
Since I signed up here, I made it back in the 'normal' weight range again (just about). Want to lose some more to get in the middle of the healthy weight range and relieve my crappy creaky knees (and make climbs on the bicycle easier).
Have a nice weekend!3 -
Hey all! I’m 54 yrs. and working toward finishing my nursing pre-req’s and let me tell you, I have got to drop my 2 decade long baby weight or I’m confident I won’t survive as an older nursing student. I’m really looking forward to learning how to navigate this app more efficiently so I can connect with, learn from and support others.

Hello middle agers!
I bought a new car recently. It is a Kia EV6, which will be delivered in February - my first electric car. It is a sensible family car, and the variant I went for does 0 to 60 in 5 seconds.3 -

Congrats on the upcoming arrival of your new car 🙂 did you get a red one? Apparently they go faster 😁2
