    Hi ladies. Something about me. I'm 58 and i want to have more fun in my life. That means losing weight so i can move around . I've lost 20 kilos twice in my life but put it and some friends on. I hope that this time i will say goodbye to it forever.

    Hi Kat - I'm in a similar position to you! Feel free to add me if you wish (I've been doing this solo for a while).

    Well that went well. Squeezed the body into lycra and headed to the pool only to find it was booked out by a school. Fun for the kids not so much for the rest of us on a 40C day . Exercise quota today will suck as can't find a exercise listing for 'playing with dogs in front of the air conditioner'

    I'm 53. Is that close enough?

    If you play with dogs, and actually move around, with the dogs in front of the air conditioner for 30 minutes just use "walking 2.0 mph leisurely pace' for whatever minutes give you 150 calories. That only matters if you intent to eat a portion of your exercise calories. And I'm 53.
