edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hey all, so as it states in the subject I'm looking for some friends on here for motivation. I actually quit smoking 6 months ago and found an online group of like-minded people which reall helped me through the tough times.

My story: Im a 37 year old married guy who used to be in pretty good shape. Having kids and working has made me soft around the middle and Im looking to change that. I have a friend that has used MFP and lost 38 pounds in the last 6 months which is what got me interested in this site. I have a goal of getting my 6 pack back by my birthday in 7 months.

Any takers?

    sec 126,
    I am fairly new here too. Joined back in February but silent wallflower. I quit smoking in November, and started this after noticing I was getting thickER around my middle. 49 yr old female, who is married to a chef (which makes the calorie counting interesting to say the least). Two grown sons, and a grandson.

    I will push you if you pull me and vice versa.

    Hi sec126~

    Congrats on quitting!! I quit when I turned 30, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. You should be really proud of yourself. :drinker:

    I'm a married, 48-yr-old mom of a 10-yr-old boy. i joined back in January, and have found this site and its members absolutely wonderful. Please feel free to add me - we all need support. Welcome, and good luck with your journey.
