40's friends

First off don't panic. BS of 54 is low but don't over react with a lot of sugar. A small glass of oj or some fruit or a couple of pieces of toast with some jelly. wait about 1/2 hout retake your BS. I have been a diabetic for years but within the last year had to start insulin so i know what you are going through. I sent you a friend request so you can ask me questions. good luck and don't give up.

Hi I am 43 and always looking for friends to motivate and keep me on target. Cheers : )

I am 47 and have 74 more pounds to lose. I am the mother of a 24 year old daughter and a 21 year old son. Would love to be your friend. The journey is hard without support.

:happy: HI!! I'm 41, mother of three teenagers...oh crumb, my oldest turns 20 on Monday...strike that, mother of one 20 year old and two teens!

I've been on her for 70+ days and love it, when I am down about my behavior I can read all sorts of uplifting stories on MFP.

Have a great time with MFP, it get's kind of addicting!

Feel free to ad me.

Hi, I am 48 and just started using MFP just to keep myself in check, I try to log on every day. I am very healthy & fit already and would welcome the chance to share advice with people ...Been working out myself for 31 years, weightlifting & cardio.

I'm here all day, everyday....

Feel free to add me.

I am new to MFP, but definitely am in it for the long haul. and would welcome friend requests. This is the site I have been looking for for a while.

I am 45, married with 3 kids (15, 12, and 6) and working on losing the weight I have added in the past 15 years. My weight was as high as 280 and I got down to 235, but have regained 13lbs over the winter. Main exercise right now is cycling, both road and mountain.

You're welcome to add me. I just turned 46 last month. I've been using MFP for a month now and have lost 5 pounds. I'd like to lose 15 more. I have 2 teenagers at home and one off at college. I'm finding it much easier to fit exercise into my day now that my children are more independent. When they were younger my only option was to get up in the morning before everyone else to workout. Of couse, that didn' t last long, so I quit exercising altogether. Now I hit the gym at least 5x week and do strength training 2-3 days week and cardo 2-3 times a week.. I'm noticing the inches dropping more than the pounds.

I log my food everyday using my Iphone. I find it really easy to do since I always have my phone handy. I know now why I was never able to lose weight in the past. The food I was eating was loaded with calories and fat. Yuk!

I'd love some tips on what types of foods to eat. I'm finding it hard to cut the carbs out of my diet.

I am also in my 40's, I am 44 and have been trying to lose weight. I have gained 30 lbs in the last 3 years and I no longer want to be overweight and now that I have found MFP, I love it....I have lost almost 5lbs in about 10 days and want to continue.

Having someone to lose weight with would be great....we all need support.

I'm 40-almost 41. Busy mom and I work full time. Pretty much on here everyday. I find lots of entertainment, ideas, and encouragement. Add me if you like!

Hi. I'm 44, soon to be 45 and like you would like friends to "post" with and motivate ea other. :glasses:

Hey, I'm happy to have more friends. I'll be sticking around. Wish I had have stumbled across this site many years ago.

Just turned 49...feel 29. I'm a mother of 3 (one in college, one in middle school and one in elementary school). I have a great career that allows me to travel. I'm a long distance runner and getting ready to run my 8th half marathon in May 2012. I also love spin class and body pump. Last year was pretty stressful and I ended up putting on 7 lbs. I thought it would be easy to take off if I just increased my workouts. It wasn't and I couldn't get it off.

A friend showed me MFP on her iPhone and I was like "what, bar code scanning? Accountability? I'm in." I've lost 5 lbs since March 24 and I've now changed my goal to lose more...for a total of 13 pounds. Once (not if) I achieve this goal, it will be the lowest I've weighed in YEARS!!

I'm looking to be friends with anyone that has a good sense of humor, likes to exercise and would enjoy witty repartee with a type-A (pretty) redhead...:-)

I am 42, mom of three (one is 21 and lives away from me, , then I have a 9 year old boy and 6 year old girl). I work full time and squeeze my workouts in on my lunch break and in the evenings. I have been logging in since November. Would love more supportive 40 year olds to keep me motivated. Still struggling with 10 pounds I want to lose before menopause hits!
