HI, I could use soem older buddies...but younger ones are OK too! I am a wife, mom, grandmom, nurse and Christian. I am like Moses, circleing around this mountain AGAIN, BUT I know victory is mine! I have spent many years taking care of others and neglecting myself and being out of balance. However that is in the PAST!

I am looking for some "fitness friends" to share encouragement, ideas, and friendship while we become the people we were always meant to be!
God bless you, thanks for reading ! :)

    Hi...my name is Brenda. I will turn 55 in February, a teacher (will retire with 35 years next year), a mom, grandmother, a wife...and would enjoy your company. I've started over many times. I am a diabetic and have kept my numbers under control until this past year. I go back to the doctor in February and would love to show her great results. I love MyFitnessPal. I want to make this the last time I "start over". I want to get closer to God, make him more a part of my life. Let's be Fitness Pals. :)

    I turn 55 this year. :) Not on a weight-loss journey but a fitness journey and am pretty good at motivation and encouragement. :)

    I am 51 and need friends on the site. I am trying to stay mostly vegan, but it's tough in my family with all the meat and cheese I see around me. I think avoiding the snacks (chips and prezels) is really half the battle. Oh if I could only lose 10 more pounds, maybe I'll be able to avoid the heart attack that awaits me courtesy of my genetic background. But anyway -- we can ALL be friends.... Can't we all just get along?

    Hi! I am wife, mother and grand mother and a certified nursing assistant.....56 years young and would love to be your friend......we can all do this together. This is a great site and I have found my friends have been real supportive.............love it.

    Feel free to send me a friend request.........good luck and I know you will succeed. The best thing I could have done was join MFP.
