Speaking of stunning eyes!

Especially cool hair and eyes!

Hey, cool glasses.

Cool glasses, kind smile!

Hi all, CT (live) and NYC (work) here. Happy to make new friends with anyone who is supportive, encouraging, not creepy. :wink: Please just add at least a few words to the invite so I know you are a real person. Kindly, Steve

I'm in charge of sales/marketing strategy for a division of a very large global company based in NYC. My division does several very cool things but notably we have investigators all over the world figuring out who is financing bad people and organizations and who is using slave labor or doing other nefarious acts. My job…

It is just makes FitBit (and MyFitnessPal) more motivating. Hard to explain why but it works. I have a lot of people I don't really know in real life making me feel pretty good about walking/running and fitness with "likes" and "cheers" and the challenges are fun. If you or anyone is interested in friends, please add! I'm…

I'm getting lots of attention benefits from Vyvanse (60mg) and have zero appetite (though can eat when I decide to do so). If anyone is still following this, I'd love to make some ADHD friends. Please send an FR if you are interested!

Also in my 40s and looking for motivated friends who will stick with it -- and have some fun, encouraging times along the journey.

I contributed a blog post to help keep conversation going. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Steve__McD/view/starting-in-the-middle-780438

@FemmeFireRL Likewise! Thanks! Very happy to meet people investing in (and taking good care of) their mind and bodies! I am working to do the same and get lots of encouragement from the same! Others, freely add me. Kindly Steve

I'm very keen to add friends of any gender/age/nationality so long as they are using myfitnesspal or fitbit for mutual support and encouragement -- either to draw encouragement or to offer some. I wear my fitbit all the time (for years) and find that I am among so many people who stick to goals knowing that others are in…

You can do it, and think ahead of how worthwhile the experience will be. Stay healthy, and be kind to your body (and mind!) as you are under a ton of stress now. If you gain a little weight because you are eating what you cook for your kids, that is one thing not to stress about. If you are eating because the stress is…

You've come to a great place and have lots of people here doing what you are doing. Keep it up. Cheer on others and by doing so you'll motivate yourself (and others still start cheering you on, too). If you have a bad day, make the next day an awesome day and keep going! You can do it!

I'm 6 weeks off sugar (completely, no failures) with some help from some meds (designed for another purpose) and I have to say I am so happy to be free from the addiction. Small amounts of sugar are probably fine and life is short so perhaps the occasional treat is just being kind to your body, but I can't do a little…

Hi, I am taking a similar medicine for likely the same reasons. I have lost 21 pounds in 6 weeks and am about to stop the weight loss. (The loss so far was great for me, but now I am coming to an ideal weight and need to maintain. Others on MFP won't sympathize but weight management -- up or down -- is a challenge for us…

Thank you!!

New member here. On meds for ADHD after 45 years not knowing I had it. Meds are working well but side effect is no appetite.

Live in Connecticut, work most days in NYC.

Happy to share the journey... Feel free to add me or just accept my best wishes for your success!

I have been off sugar for 35 days now. It was a bit of a transition but now is really easy. Compared to everything else you've accomplished, just think of it as easy. (I know it isn't easy but you do many things that others can't do, so you have lots of reasons to be confident!) Good luck, and if you want friends along the…

Very inspirational story and how wonderful for you!!! Well done!!

My "ah ha" was learning that I have ADHD (a month or so ago). My sugar addiction was driven by my brain's hunger for dopamine. Once I understood that (and treated the ADHD) my interest in sugar vanished. Haven't had a bite of it in 34 or 35 days. No sweets, and almost nothing with added sugar. 20 pounds vanished in a…

Cool, thank you, Deansters. Request sent.

Thanks so much -- I've sent an "add" request!
