    So I'm a nerd and I curl and love it. Like the sport curling. The one where after games you are expected to sit at a table with your opponents and have drinks and chat.

    We won out game today 12-2. While I missed a couple of shorts miserably i had some amazing ones too and many stuck around and were what scored us points. It's a really fun game. I'm glad I was forced to take it up 4 years ago

    Hi everyone. I’m 48. I had a heart attack last year and got stents put in. (I was the youngest person in my cardio rehab classes last year.) I’m in the low 170s at 5’8”.

    I want to get down to 160, so have started using this app. This seems like a good community, and I appreciate how supportive you all are of each other. Good luck to all on your fitness journey.

    All this talk of coffee has given me an idea… off to make coffee!

    Then I REALLY will start cleaning the house up, honestly, really. Maybe. I will…

    If I were younger, I’d play cricket. Not too many sports where you get lunch and tea. 😁 and beer after.

    Congrats on the win.

    Welcome. Glad you made it. Other than me, this is a great group of supportive people. Just stay away from the selfie threads. They are quite cliquey.

    My club has a cricket pitch. You don't have to be young to play. It's funny though there will be a match on and we'll sit on tha patio having lunch and pretending we know what's going on and the team not at bat will start filing in and returning to their clubhouse with lunch. It's so civilized

    You should if you have a place nearby. It's fun and super social. Curlers are very welcoming to anyone new wanting to try

    Starting out - new today to the app. I'm 57 now and have always been energetic but I'm getting really fat so that has to stop. I'm 5'3" and 220 now. Wish me well on this journey back to health. Next year I'll be able to do a lot more with a sleeker body. I don't want to be that fat grandma. I want to be like the slim older ladies I see who are active and strong.

    There is a club in my state. A coworkers husband used to play for them. She said they’d take anyone but at 48 weighing 255 and asthma, I’m not so sure. Plus I’ve never batted and I wonder if they’d be willing to teach. It’s tough being a cricket fan in the States. I didn’t have the chance to grow up with it.

    To be honest, I’d love to just play at a fun level. Like a pick up league or club vs club. A fat middle aged office workers league would be perfect 😆. I’m just in love with the sport and would love to do more than be a spectator.
