40's friends

I am new to MFP and could use a few friends. I am 39 and a busy mom of two. I plan on being here a while as this is a lifestyle change for me and not just a diet.

I'm one of those 40's people ... 48 to be exact. I was pretty regular with MFP on my IPhone for a while and then got off track for the last couple of months. Looking for "friends" to help take this weight lose journey with.

Hello I am 40 years old -will be 41 in a couple of months. I am here for the long run,need friends and support. I need to loose about 100 pounds so I'm here for a long time

I am 40 and have been struggling here for a bit but I still log in and track my weight. I have trouble tracking food; I hate doing it.

Anyone can feel free to add me.

I have been doing Zumba for about a month now. I love it and I actually look forward to going to the class.

45.. on here every day and love to be a busybody.
Feel free to add me [anybody]

Wait.. actually Im only 44.. is that a function of being this age that you dont know what this age is?

Hi I'm new here and not quite familiar with how this works. I hope I can meet some new people that are struggling with the same issues I am. Weight and Diabetes. I have a blog and invite you all to read it so that we can interact. It's called Believe.
This is what happened yesterday. Anyone out there have suggestions?
Wednesday night around midnight.

Heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. Sweaty. Cold. Uh... if you're thinking I'm having a good time - Get your head outta the gutter! LOL. I was having a serious sugar low. Sugars at 54. I'd NEVER had low sugar. That's the whole reason I've decided to lose weight and monitor my foods! I'd never had lower than 300's!

I don't know what happened and to be honest, I don't know how to care for it. So I shoved 2 poptarts, 3 slices of bread folded in half with Goober w/ Strawberry.

Of course, my sugars this morning are 326! I don't know what to do if this happens again. Any suggestions?

I'm 43, two teen boys, and I've definitely got the busy covered. I'm also looking for supportive friends who are in it for the long haul and in maintenance.

Hello....I just recently turn 43 and am fairly new to MFP. It's a great site and my new addiction.

Am always looking for more friends & support, so anyone can feel free to add me.

goofball!!!

Yep I'm 40..until September! I am a mom of 4 children 2 teenagers a soon to be kindergartner and a preschooler. I joined MFP a year ago January to get in shape and lost 20 lbs. I have been maintaining since then. I've gone up a few and back down again but nothing too serious. I exercise most days of the week but don't always log food. I'd love to add a few more friends.

42 here, you're welcome to add me. Good luck!!

I am 40, will be 41 in a couple of months and plan to be here. I list everything that I eat in my diary so that I am accountable. I am married and have 2 little girls at home, 1 boy away at college. We live extremely hectic lives and it is hard to find time to eat right and keep in shape. Please feel free to friend me. I love to post and support my friends and love to get the support back.

I'm 43, 2 young kids, been on here just over a year..

I think we'd get along great except for 1 tiny thing... that shirt you're wearing in your avatar... :sick: :laugh:

Hi, 48 myself, 49 very shortly. I welcome any support anyone can give and I'll do my best to dole some out too. I intend to be on here for some considerable time, because I have a considerable amount to lose.

Good Morning, I am 43 years old and overweight. I am new to MFP, going through my 2nd week. I have lost 3 pounds so far. I have also learned valuable lessons about why we need to drink water and how my heart pumps daily. I am currently taking medication for acid reflux and thankfully, was taken off of blood pressure medication about a year ago. My goal is to lose about 50 pounds. I am not looking to be model material, I know that my skinny days are over. I would just like to be able to shop in the regular section of the department store instead of fuller figure. I also want to kick the medication to the curb, all together. I don't like taking pills, and I don't like being unhealthy. Please feel free to friend request me. I try to be encouraging and supportive for my friends on their journeys. Each journey is different. I also ask that you please motivate me as well. I am not new to eating right. I actually do not have much of a problem with that. I never counted calories, but I knew what was good for me and what wasn't. Now I stick to my food diary and follow my goal cal, carb, and fat numbers. I do however have trouble staying the course with exercise. I was always tired and in bed early. I am a housewife, so beyond my daily household chores, I am very lax. Recently my husband and I purchased a stationary bike. I am putting in the effort to ride, but I am seeing so many others on here doing so much more. I am slowing getting there, but some days are harder than others. This is where I need the kick in the pants to get moving!!! Being 40 does not mean that we are heading on the downward slope of the hill. I am determine to get to the top and dance for quite awhile before I start heading down. No, I won't get carded any time soon, but staying healthy, feeling good, and looking young (er), all all perks I am striving for!!! This is not a diet, this is a life change. LETS GO - LETS WORK TOGETHER AND ACHIEVE OUR GOALS!!!
