I need a buddy to help keep me on track. I would like to lose 50 lbs. I can't believe how easy it is to put on weight after 40! UGH--I used to have a hot body--where did it go? :embarassed:

    I can be your buddy. I haven't really weighed myself so I don't know how much I weigh or what my goal is. i know I want to go down 2 sizes. I'm 40, just got separated, just started law school and I'm excited about this process.

    Happy for you to add me, I need friends to help me along the way, as been on and off with this app in the last year, but need to do something now. I have about 63lbs to get to my ideal weight and would like to lose as much as I can before summer and the beach and the rest by end of 2012.

    Any help/encouragement appreciated.:smile:

    I don't know how to 'buddy-up' on this, but would LOVE to have someone to push me a little. I do okay on my own, but would do so much better if I was 'competing' (not really, but in my mind it would be) with someone ... and sharing thoughts and ideas too. Any takers?

I am new to this site and still not sure of my way around it so a lot of help would really be appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon............

    I'm with ya! I'm new here too...loaded the app on my phone back the summer, but now I'm serious about using it regularly.

    I'm 46 years old, and want to lose about 50 (more would be ok, but that's my goal for now).

    Not sure how to do the freind request thing - so if anyone out there wants another diet buddy/accountability parter I'm in. I need all the help I can get!

    Add me as a friend if you like. I just turned 48 and fell off the MFP wagon for a couple of months. Starting out fresh for the New Year and my goal is to lose 35 lbs. It's definitely alot harder to lose now -- so difficult that I've join a gym and meet with a trainer once a week. Hope to talk to you soon!

    I could use a buddy and would be a good buddy, too. I am 45, have 50 pounds to lose and have been using fitness pal on and off for about 6 months. I am great with the food, bad with the exercise. :flowerforyou:

    Hey there,

    I'm a newbie and 40+; I too used to have a smokin' body; it got lost somewhere along the way but I'm backtracking now and am absolutely positive that I'll find it. I'd love your support and help. Let's do this together....I'd love a diet buddy too! Friend me if you'd like.
