I just turned 42. I have been having trouble. My caloric intake is probably my issue. I could use some new friends...friend me if you'd like...thanks

41 here. New to MFP (think I have 8 days under my belt). Looking for support as well.

@lindsaypowell. I think you can go into settings and change your calories to a higher percentage. Way to go on nursing...I nursed my twins for two years....one of the coolest things I have ever had the privilege of doing!

Hello, I am 5 1" as well and similar age (41). I lost about 16 lbs between nov-feb. now my goal is to lose 15 lbs, I began last week. I know for my height I should lose more but I have to think of it in little chunks or I get overwhelmed. I am looking for support as well.

I am new and 41 years old. I have been trying to find friends in my age range!

Hey! I am new too! Have you logged all your food today? I logged mine for day 2 but I am over in sugar and under in other areas, gotta keep working at it, I guess.

We got stuck there last year due to the flood and another time we were there it flooded and took us forever to get back to Chicago. I love the college town and spirit.

Are you really a hawkeye? I have spent a lot of time at the U of Iowa hospital, tho have never lived there. Feel like I know that town, been there over 20xs in last 7 years.

Thank you so much!

I agree to go by time and count it as rigorous exercise. I do this with my kids and I find it fascinating how crazy hard it is-- it is cardio activity for sure!

Thank you both.... The protein thing just threw me off and since I am at a bit of a plateau I was hoping for an easy fix :) When I go to fitwatch to calculate my calorie intake it says I should be eating more calories. So, I will watch that. Thanks.

I posted something similar today but had no takers... Will try to add you guys...I am a very happy 41

@psulemon. I stated that TODAY is my first time on this site recording my food. In the last couple months I have lost 16lbs. I was simply wondering about the protein portion of the food counter.

Okay great, thanks for the replies. I am under in calories and under by a lot in carbs and sugar. i am happy about all of those! I try to eat an organic/ raw high protein/ low carb/ low sugar diet. It is cool to keep track of it on here and see that my food intentions are successful. You both look amazing!

Hey thanks for replying! I have a child with multiple dietary restrictions as well! That whole cook for the family thing is so hard! Many times I prepare 2 to three different meat/ protein and 3 different veggies/ fruit. Nice job on the DVDs especially in the morning- I am not a fan of either. :)
