Hi! I don't know how active this group is, but I'm 45, in the worst shape of my life and trying to make changes. At 38 I was in the best shape of my life, running marathons and gaining weight, which was weird. Then I went back to school and stopped running. And here we are today.
Hoping for a brighter future filled with health! 1 -

At skating a few will say they wish they could skate as I do. I reply I started at the age of 5 and I'm still going. They ask how long that's been and when I say 40 years I often hear, that's longer than I've been alive. Patience young grasshopper haha
Young grasshopper reminds me of the TV show Kung Fu. The did a sequel show called the Legend Continues (I think) and there was an old character who was called The Ancient. I tell my kids I'm planning to live so long I will become known as The Ancient. The eyerolls I get are worth it all the time.
Are you ice skating or rollerskating?
I'm Canadian is there really any other way to skate than on ice? Well ya some friends are into roller but they have transitioned to ice cause ice is so very nice
Being Dutch, I'm with you. ☺
Skating is on ice.
Yes I like you!!! Nothing is better too than skating outdoors. I have a rink nearby and I'll go there some afternoons and just enjoy the sun and cold air. It's the best 1 -
Hi, turned 50 in May and, thanks to hip/back issue, struggling with highest weight since I had gastric bypass in 2000. Lost 37 since June.0

Hah, exactly!
Now, I do have a problem with hockey though... As us Dutchies would think 'field' first. I've learned to check the nationality of the person I'm talking to before making any comments. ;-)0 -
Good morning peeps. Have a wonderful Saturday. 0

Haha yes. I have to do the same. Hockey here is always on ice. Most schools will do some field hockey in gym class but it's specified as field hockey. The ice version is huge in my area especially. My son's school has a hockey day and the school is practically empty. He doesn't play, while I like the game he's not aggressive enough thank goodness1 -

Hi I'm 42 too but unlike you 30s weren't a good time for me. Things are much better now and I'm gradually getting fitter.
Nice to meet you!0 -

Happy Saturday. I just earned my Dad merit badge. Spent the day taking my daughter to a Dobre concert.
Cant imagine anything more deafening than an auditorium of screaming preteen girls.5 -

Do Canadians serve turkey for Thanksgiving dinner?1 -
Hello 37 here and a serial dieter. This time I'm trying to just eat better rather than some fad diet.2

Ya usually turkey and/or ham. I'm doing a prime rib beef roast cause I feel like it. And I couldn't bring myself to buy a turkey since we won the last. Buying seemed weird haha1 -

Welcome, sounds like you're especially if fad diets weren't working for you (I don't know anybody they do work for).1 -
Morning everyone, have weighed myself and measured my waist (eek!) so I've officially started (again)!2

Hello, just turned 54 last week. I went to the doctor and had all the usual tests. My cholesterol is up, sugar was up but I am not diabetic, thank goodness. Even my blood pressure was a bit elevated. I am getting back on the wagon. I have used MyFitnessPal off and on over the last several years. I need to get back to work. I am disgusted with myself. I want to lose 80 lbs. My doctor wants me to follow low carb diet but not keto. I get so confused and frustrated when trying to find foods I like that would fit in with the low carb diet.
I have all kinds of pains (arthritis in the knees, degerating discs in the lumbar area and hip pain). I plan to start slowly with some walking on the treadmill in the morning.
Any motivation would be welcomed.

I'm 2 years younger than you and went to the doctor on Friday for a routine checkup as well. Said I was okay, but waiting on some blood test results.
I wish you all the best in your weight loss and general improvement of health.1
