Better Health, Mind, & Body!

Hi! I'm in my 40s. I'm starting a journey for better health, mind, and body. Goal is to lose 20 lbs then maintain it. Want to feel strong upper body. Tired of feeling stiff. Ready for friends to talk with throughout the journey.

    Hi! Just getting started also; I’m a little older (56) and have more than 20 to lose, but I’d like to find a group of supportive folks who I can take encouragement from, and offer some in return! Feel free to send a friend request, and all the best on your journey!

    Hello, and welcome!

    It's smart to get stronger in your 40s. If we don't challenge our muscles, we lose them as we age. That makes daily life less easy/convenient, lowers our calorie needs, and more. You can do it!

    Best wishes!

    I’m 43 and losing weight now is so much harder than it was in my 20s or 30s. All I had to do then was cut soda and that was it.

    Now I have to work out and watch what I eat.

    Good luck!

    I am 37 and still am able to lose the weight pretty easily but it's the food that I intake that is not good. Just to much. Would love to have people to check in with. Hope your journey is a great one!
