Hi all! I'm C, 24, from Southern California. I like long walks on the beach and...oh, not that kind of introduction? Anyways, I am ridiculously single. I actually just started back up on OkCupid for the second time, so...wish me luck? Ha. Hopefully this time I'll meet some nice fellows. Anyways, I'm always happy to make new friends so feel free to add me (but please include a message!). :flowerforyou:

Hey everyone! My name is Heather and I'm from Alexandria, VA - right outside of DC. I've been single for about 2 months now after a 2 year relationship ended. During the course of my previous relationship (with someone who would only eat junk food) I gained about 30 lbs. So far I've nearly lost everything that I gained and am happily moving on with my life! I'm always looking for new buddies on here

Hi All,
My name is Holly. I am 44 (but feel 24) I am 5 ft 114lbs and just hit my goal recently.. down from 131 my highest weight.
I would like to meet people who are in VA DC or MD ... I love this area and there is a lot to do with friends or dates.
I have been really busy for a really long time and Now I am ready to have some fun and live all out.
There is a little more on my profile and other pics. Friend me if you like no matter where you are : )

Hi, I'm brad. I'm 25 years old and I'm from California. I do construction for work and love it. I joined mfp a while back but, just started doing it seriously about 6 months ago. I have lost 66 lbs total, most of them with map I have about 40 more to go. I am single as well and hoping that getting in better shape will help my confidence

Hi, i'm 43, I was a young mum, we married and had 4 kids and divorced. I later met someone and we had a child, sadly he was killed at work 11 yrs ago when our daughter was 7wks old. I moved to Melb some stage afterwards, and with everyone calling in every 5 mins with junk food and the amount of drinking that went on, i got to be my heaviest without even being pregnant.
I moved to Qld for 8 months to see how my youngest and I would go there. That was when I started to lose weight. I plateaued and left it there. Moved back to Country vic where we grew up. I lost more weight and again plateaued. this past yr I have been a bit healthier with my eating and certainly done alot more exercise. So, I know I can maintain my weight, just now to budge the last of the kilos. This past yr things have changed, as I studied to be a personal carer, got a job. And now I'm studying again. When I get extremely tired that is when I tend to binge on junk.
Being on here has already helped me, as everything I eat is seen and it's so much easier to type in food and have it worked out for you then to try and work it all out yourself. I was doing a nutrition at the gym, but found it to hard. We had to report in with our food for the week, and our exercise plan. Now, I'm not wasting so much time. anyways.. enough of me lol. Hoping MFP helps me rid of the last kilos and make new friends along the way!

Hey everyone..

I'm Amber and as of the end of May I became a single girl after a 3 year relationship. I'm 26 will be turning 27 on Monday. Living in TN with my cat Leo With no way to afford rent at this time in my life (credit card troubles on top of student loans and car payment) i'm back at my parents. Definitely not the proudest moment asking to move back in with them but they've been supportive through all this. I'll be staying and working on paying off the cards then getting on with the rest of my life.

Not to sure what to do with my single self when i'm not working.. I know I've got my books to read and journals to write in but other then that.. I'd become so accustomed to having somebody else there I feel a bit lost..

Anyway, it's nice to meet you all!

I'm Eric, I reside in Pittsburgh and work in federal law enforcement. I'm 49, and have 3 children, all out of the house in college. I am divorced, and recently ended the only other serious relationship I've ever had. I didn't think I'd be at this place at this point in my life. My primary mission is to use MFP to track my food and exercise, and I used it very consistently last year prior to my relationship ending. I felt sorry for myself and quit using it, only to gain weight back. So, I'm here to stay and this is a great place with lots of support. Feel free to add me if you'd like....

I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I've been on MFP for several months and just recently getting around to actually being active... I'm Beth from the DFW Texas area and a single 39 year old mom. My goal is to make it to my final goal weight by the time I turn 40 in January. I think I'm on track and starting with a personal trainer this week to push myself to the next level. Nice to meet the group and looking forward to making new friends!

Hi All

I am Andy, newly turned 47, 5"9 and shrinking weight wise, just reached my first goal which was to get back to the weight I was before knee surgery knocked my previous attempt out. I am UK based.

I have been a member for a couple of weeks but been on MFP since the end of March and approaching my 130 days. As someone else mentioned I just noticed the "Welcome" section and people are still doing it so thought in for a penny in for a pound/dollar depending on which side of the Atlantic you are from.

Long time single mainly down to being to nice/shy to change that. Not that I don't enjoy the single lifestyle, being able to do what I want when I want, I have friends here that say how can you workout for nearly 2 hours at a time, the advantage of being single is the answer I give. I love to travel, try different things/foods, like to cook but this healthy stuff takes some doing. I long to be able to say that would work in there and just put it in :laugh: but I know I am not in a position to do this yet.

Good luck to you all in your goals whatever they are.

Andy

Hi! I'm Joyce and have been single now for about 5 years. I have two grown children (my daughter still lives with me), a couple of dogs and 3 cats. I have been struggling with my weight all my life, but after my best friend died last year I have been diligently working on getting the pounds off and adding exercise in my life.

I'm hoping to meet someone someday, as I miss sharing my life with another, but at 54 years of age and not much of a network of people I am finding it difficult. I have tried online dating, but didn't like it.

Anyway, nice to meet you all!!

Figured it was about time I posted at least a hello on here. I've been on MyFitnessPal since around May, actively eating Paleo since June which is working well for me, long way to go but I'm keeping at it. This group is definitely my go-to when it comes to reading threads, both for honesty and great stories from people. Getting in shape and all has really made me feel better about myself and I find myself looking around on the internet for a companion and someone with like interests. Anyways, off home from work early today and enjoying the afternoon Hope everyone else is doing the same!
