    Hello from sunny Colorado! I'm 46, single mom of two teenage boys, and I travel a lot for work. I started running about four years ago and I'm pretty consistent now at 4 4mile runs per week. I love to run in other cities when I travel - I've definitely been to areas I wouldn't have gone to otherwise. I eat healthy to stay healthy and I have a goal of staying off daily meds by avoiding the lifestyle diseases that ruined my parents' last decades. The 40's have been my favorite decade by far!

    Hey all, I'm 43 from New Zealand, no kids, awesome partner, big job, ex-dive Instructor and zumba Instructor (on top of full-time job) who's got a bit lost. Ready to get back on track again though! The one thing I'm doing differently this time is joining in ... so here I am!

    I'm jumping in a little late…. My name is Cindy from Colorado and I just turned 48. I'm married and have a 16 year old daughter. I never had problems with my weight until got pregnant - and don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade her for the world! Since 1997, I've yo-yo'd up and down until about 3 years ago when all I have done is gain weight after I injured myself running and became very sedentary for a good year.

    I'm at my wit's end and have tried everything…Weight Watchers, vegan, paleo, juicing - you name it. I finally realized that there is no magic bullet and that I need to hold myself accountable by logging what I eat and drink in addition to exercising.

    Last year I started road biking with my husband and I love it. I lost some weight, but then gained it back over the winter. We've started biking again now that it's warming up and I also joined an exercise class that I hope to do 2-3 times a week in addition to biking.

    Anyway, I've always told people I feel like an 18 year old stuck in a much older body. I want to feel physically great again like I did when I was younger.
