44 and always willing to add new MFP friends for support (and TO support). Lost 15 lbs 2 years ago here but let it all creep back on. Trying AGAIN...

1986 - Depeche Mode with opening band Book of Love

Okay, so I feel like a loser posting actual advice on this thread when perhaps I should be making a joke....but...agree on which legs you are going to start with and then get a beat going by actually counting out loud, (one, two, one, two, etc). (The previous serious posters advice about running with someone of similar…

I will send you a friend request! I'm a 40-something in the northern part of the state!

My favorite old school video game? It was called Crystal Castles and I used to bike to the arcade to play it! (back in the 80s) At home, we had an Intellivision system (loved to play auto racing, tennis, and snafu on it!) :-)

I am actually from northern MN but thought that I would share a link to the Minnesota group, perhaps you will get more bites here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/146-minnesota Welcome!

The Monkeewrench series by P.J. Tracy are good!

Definitely Chunky Monkey! Nummy banana-flavored ice cream, walnuts, & chocolate chunks...I used to eat that stuff like crazy back in my college days...

benign tumor removed from my spinal cord (c1/c2 area) last year....

We are a camping family and my advice is like a previous posters, everything in moderation. We don't hold back, as cooking is one of my husbands favorite things to do when we camp. Steaks/potatoes, pancakes/bacon, brats, fajitas, eggs, etc. etc. Do I load up on everything? Absolutely not! Love eating all that nummy stuff…

I love Silk Vanilla Coconut milk! Nummy!

Sounds like compromise is in order. And it also sounds like your husband may be a tad jealous of your success. (It probably tooK you awhile to get truly motivated & serious about weight loss--most likely it will be the same for your husband) Maybe work out a schedule (you go at night some times, he goes at other) and just…

I am married to a "ginger" and have two "ginger" children, does that count?? :-)

You city slickers have fun! :-) (I am too far north to even think about a meet-up), I love Good Earth though! I just looked up the Duluth Grill's menu after reading previous posts! I am going to certainly go there the next time I am in Duluth.

No, you are not an idiot. If the friendship meant a lot to you, I say go for it. The worst thing that can happen is that things don't work; can't say that you didn't try. I reached out to a friend who I was best friends with in elem & middle school (we went out seperate ways in HS for various reasons) after college, and…

I need something boppy when I exercise or I'll go nuts. Here iare a few: When I grow up - The *****cat Dolls It's Tricky - RunDMC That's Not my name - The Tingtings Toxic - Britney Spears And some others lower on my list (maybe not as boppy but still have a decent beat): beat the time - Edie Brickell Love you like a love…

Revolution Honeybush Caramel tea is really nummy!

Here's a group for moms who are over 40... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/618-moms-over-40 Welcome!!

Just like many others, I use it on my skin. It is an awesome moisturizer!

Hello there. My name is Stephanie. I am 41 with 2 girls, 13 & 11. Married for 19 years. I have been a yo-yoer between 165-135 since about the age of 30. I am just 5'4" and really should be around 135-140. (That is when I think I look the best). According to BMI charts my "ideal" weight is 111-140. But I think I would look…

we had friends over for dinner the other day,and I tried two new things (both very simple). 1) Just mixing halved grape tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, chopped red onion, and diced basil, drizzled with olive oil. (I drizzled some balsamic also, but some folks don't like that--). 2) I made my own chips by cutting corn…

Good luck! Add me as a friend if you would like!!

I would love friends who are in my age range (women in their 40s) but anyone who could offer support would be great! I will do my very best to reciprocate!
