Hello,
I am 55 and seeking to interact with other women (especially over 50) who lift on a regular basis. When purchasing NroI4WI, I was excited to find this group. I have been a MFP user for awhile now.
I started lifting with a group about 4 years ago was not seeing the results I wanted. For the last 15 months I have been working out with a personal trainer and what a difference! I am seeing great results with lower and upper body, but the middle is slow to come. Many will blame it on midlife, but I see too many women my age who have attained that curvy waist of years ago!
My current stats:
183 lbs, goal 155
5'6"
Weight train 1hr - 3x week
Off days - Misc Cardio
My goals are:
Be strong, lean and healthy
To complete a triathlon
Look strong, sexy and female when riding!
I welcome any women with similar goals to contact / friend me so that we can support each other in this strong journey.

Welcome.
I am forty-one but I've had some trouble with chronic pain that affected my fitness for the last two years. I am getting better and hoping I will be able to do a tri this summer. I just started biking again and I plan to increase slowly. Lifting has really helped over the last year. So I would be happy to be a friend
