Totally agree with you. Synching on GarminConnect when I force it to through the website, but not on MFP. Very, very frustrating as this is the second time in a couple of weeks this issue has arisen. Bought the Garmin device specifically because of the link to MFP so very disappointing.

I wear a Garmin Vivosmart to track steps. Username Goalinsight. Garmin connect not syncing since yesterday! Grrrrr. (But feel free to add me, anybody!)

5'0 here too. Sending you a friend request and happy to link up with any other 'shorties' who want to add me. :)

I'm 46, Irish, married, mother of three, working full time, studying part time and trying to lose weight! I'm back to MFP for a few weeks now and very determined. It's coming off slowly so far, but I need to lose over 40lbs and it would be great to add some more friends. All you 40 somethings, please feel free to add me.…

46 year old mother of three from Ireland. I have around 43lbs to lose and I'm feeling up for the challenge! I'd really like some MFP friends to take the journey with, so anyone who is positive and motivated, I'd love you to add me :D

Hi. I'm also 46 and from Ireland! I need to lose just over 3 stone (43lbs) to get to a healthy BMI. I used MFP before very successfully, but didn't stick to it and now I'm back and very determined. Add me if you'd like someone in the same time zone. :D

Congratulations! Trying to lose 52lb myself - you will be my inspiration!

Thanks guys! (Looks like I need to do a few calculations). :)

I started this in mid-July and finished a few weeks ago. I too am now running 5k 3 times per week. For the first week, I thought I would die, as I have never been fit in my life. But this programme is literally life transforming. The time I spend running is wonderful for "head space" as well as fantastic for fitness and…

Many, many congratulations. I think the method you have chosen is the way to maintain a healthy weight. At the moment I am celebrating being not obese and in my 40s! But I'll definitely use you as my inspiration to keep going. Well done to you.

I'm from - ♫ "Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty" ♫ :wink: - Dublin Ireland!

Having just read this I googled it and I now know what I want for Christmas!

Hi - do you have a link to C210k? Sounds really interesting. Thanks!

Thank you for this. Very interesting.

I have an FT7. It's great. Love to know what I've burned after exercise.

Would love more friends too! Happy to add all of you, if you don't mind? :wink:

Your post made me smile! I am also 5'0", with the same aims exactly in terms of dress size and target weight. (I want to be bang slap in the middle of the "healthy weight" BMI range.) Looks like you are making good progress according to your ticker. I'll use you as my inspiration! G. x

Welcome. Good for you. Wish I had tackled my weight definitively at your age! This site is an inspiration and so easy to use. Feel free to add me if you would like and good luck!

Polar FT7 (It has a chest strap which is essential, I think). Works really well. Love it so far. I bought mine here in Ireland but I'm sure you could get them at a good price on-line.

Welcome! I am a fairly newbie myself. So far this has been going really well for me. Tracking is really helpful, especially as I can also plan ahead what I will eat for the day. This site also encouraged me to start exercising. (Complete couch potato before). I've started slowly, but after just two weeks I'm down a few lbs…

Add me too, if you would like. I joined less than 2 weeks ago and so far so good! I think you'll find the site really practical, helpful and supportive. Good luck!

Congrats to you! I'm in my 40s and I know exactly how you feel. What a lovely reward for your efforts. Well done!

I bought a Polar FT7 today and I'm really happy with it, having used it this evening. It's simple to use and not too expensive.:smile:

Hi - well done. Everything you have said is so familiar to me as I have succeeded and "relapsed" before. Hope all goes well for you.

I should also have said best of luck - I hope it all goes well for you!!

Hi - I'm also new and just happened on this website by chance yesterday. I have lost weight before and put it all back on with some extra besides. I'm determined to lose it again. Zero down, 50 to go!
