54 here. Started MFP at about 300 lbs several years ago but am down to 225 now with a goal of 200, so I'm making progress. Having fun as a beginner triathlete (who needs to work on his running).3

I am planning to start with triathlon training in spring. I have a few running goals I am focusing on first. Particularly my first half marathon in March. I would like to hear about your experiences with getting started.1 -
Hello,
I'm 38 and I would like to loose weight once at all. I would like to change my lifestyle, to be fit and healthy. This isn't my first attempt, but a good community can help me...4 -
@karijo475 I nominate you to be this group's official welcomer
Thanks CajunTess, hopefully it's not bothering anyone.1 -

I’m a runner, do yoga and Pilates, strength training and HIIT. I also use FitBit as part of my healthy living. I don’t use special diets, just practice moderation. If you’d like to add me, that would be great!
Welcome!! Wow, you have a great workout!! I haven't done yoga or pilates... maybe one day. 0 -

Wow, Im a middle-ager.
Im 41. Back on MFP. Trying to slim down.
My profile gives all the details but essentially I'm a cyclist and want to get faster, and live longer.
Im vegan too, but that doesn't necessarily mean lean or healthy.
Fortunately Im pretty healthy, but not all that lean.
Feel free to add me!1 -
I thought this would be a good place to post this question....
Now that I'm in a new age bracket I find it harder to get back to running when I take a few days off. I haven't ran in three days and this morning after my jog I can already feel my legs cramping up a bit and I noticed I wasn't able to go as far?? I can remember years ago when I started running I could take a week off and it would be no problem getting back into it.....
Cheers to the midlife crisis ;-)0 -

Hi I'm 42, I have suffered from chronic health problems and pain since my 20's. I just keep putting on more and more weight because I can't be physically active like I was. I am praying that this program will help. Also would like to find others who are battling the same difficulties and be buddies and help each other with encouragement and accountability. Anyone interested please add me, thank you1

Soon to be 37, looking for encouraging friends as well. Learning the ropes with food choices and exercise.1

@ karijo475 Thank you for the welcome!
I'm sure I'm at at impasse now. Had a severe life altering upset one month ago tomorrow and that caused me to lose my appetite. I was already doing well losing weight and liking myself, but then this happened. When I stopped eating I dropped pounds but we all know that's temporary because starvation is not a way to lose weight. Plus all the nervous energy I had, I couldn't stop walking and moving around, losing even more calories.
Now I'm back on forcing at least 1200 calories a day and my weight is stalled. I guess that's better than going up!
I'm sticking to it and hopefully the scale will move sooner than later.
Kolleen I am sure once your body figures out that you aren't starving yourself and that you are eating right again, things will start moving in the right direction again!!1
