Hello 40+ Club!!! This is the first post of the new thread!!! Hope you like the title!!! Thank Chris (whoheis) or complain if you dont like it. LOL
For those who would like to join: We are a group of 40+ (40 yrs and older) peope who like to stay healthy by eating clean, exercising, etc. We support each other by providing health info, giving each other ideas on how to be healthy as we get older. Feel free to join the conversation. We usually report our weightloss/ weight gain, inches lost, struggles, goals, etc on Fridays.
What are your fitness/health goals for this year??? For me, I have started a new lifting program, New Rules of Lifting for Women. I am on my second week. My goal is to become stronger, lose fat, get leaner. I overdid it (not surprising to me) during the Holidays so I have to lose a few pounds and inches...I also want to focus on my nutrition, especially increasing my protein consumption. I am a Zumba Instructor and will of course continue with teaching my 4 classes a week.
Have a great day!!!!! :flowerforyou:

But I'm 42, mostly clean eating (does chocolate count?) ?.. I try and only have chocolate 'cravings week' and rest of month am very healthy and low carb!
I might be going through peri-menopause, I'm experiencing some problems with my monthly cycle..been late, early, short, too often etc! ..... Weight loss is slow but it's happening in spurts.. some weeks nothing others 2-3lbs + water off from TOTM. I'm trying to lose 5lb a month and get to under 10st before end of February ..will be the first time in about 15 yrs I've been that weight!
Is anyone else trying to get back to weight they were when they were younger? ..it's still middle of my healthy range for my height but not sure how much age should come into it and whether I'll be able to stay at that weight easily. ( was aiming for 9st 3 which wii fit says I should be.. To finish the game)
Please let me know if I can partake in the fun!

I am a teacher, and I try to walk both before school and during my lunch break. Walking is the only form of exercise I really do. I'd like to tone, so I know I need to add some weights/yoga/etc. to my weekly routine.

I am a 44 year old single mom of a son in college. I practice Tai Chi, and just started Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer. I also try to walk or swim ... weather permitting.
I cannot do any jogging/running/jumping because of a lifelong battle with rheumatism that have ravaged my joints, BUT I can do non-stress repetative ... which is how I managed to maintain a healthy weight most of my life ... UNTIL ... quitting smoking and the inevitable change in metabolism. Stretching and muscle tone are really important for me to prevent any permanent disabilities as I get older.
Trying to become strong and healthy ... through lifestyle changes.
I am 5'5" and 153 lbs .... looking to get to mid-BMI (130ish) with a healthy toned body, not "skinny-fat" ...
Hope to become a great example and supporter of all those pursuing the healthy lifestyle!

Im Kim 44 as of yesterday. Mother of 5 4 boys 1 girl, two grands, Awesome Hubby.
BBl to check in. I Have been with this group for over a year and its extremely supportive!!!
Not feeling very healthy these days so decided to make a change stop living like a fat person.
Started MFP on the 28th and join the forum a couple days ago.
Watching what I eat, Mountain biking and lifting weights are the main thing to shed the pounds.
Feeling tons better already after only 6 days.
Love this forum and hope it keeps me motivated.
I'm 51, and my goal is to keep the 12 pounds I managed to take off last year from creeping back.
Another goal is to make it through 2012 with zero slug days (= when I get to the end of the day and realize I never even moved out of my office chair).
My goals are to finish P90X. I just started Phase 3 today. To run 1000 miles, or 1609 km's if you are Canadian like me, in 2012, and to run my first ultra race this September, a 50 mile trail run.
Somewhere in there I would like to lose the last 10 pounds too. That would be a bonus!!
I'd like to join! I made the 40 club on Christmas Eve 2011!! :bigsmile:
So I'm just 40, live in Wiltshire UK and have a young family.
I need to weigh in properly but I'm somewhere around 110Kgs (242lbs?). Last year about this time I was starting treatment for TC which was a hell of a scare and the treatment was rough as anything. Toward end of 2011 I started thinking about losing weight and really getting back on my bike and get out cycling!
My goal is to lose 80+ lbs!
Looking forward to speaking to more of you!. Add me as a friend if you like!
Regards,
J
