    Some rodeo from the weekend. My girl just 4 1/2 months after ACL surgery. Who here misses the healing of youth?!

    @60to35 we have 3 in lacrosse so 3 practices and 6 games per week. And boy does that equipment get ripe. Still not as demanding as the rodeo. Nice shot of your girl. Impressive so soon after surgery.

    Hello everyone,
    I am a dietitian living in Sydney's Lower North Shore and I am tracking my heath data and having a lot of fun finding out more about myself.

    Welcome to MFP and the over 40 group!

    Hi there :) I'm Michelle and I'll be 41 in June. I live on 3 1/2 acres in rural AZ with my fiance, 2 cats, 2 dogs and a flock of chickens. We grow our own produce and eat very healthfully (almost no processed food- I make everything from scratch). I'm a very active woman and I love working out. I'd like to lose a few pounds, but mostly I think I'm just trying to maintain my weight as I get older. I've been incorporating more strength training into my workouts and it's definitely paying off (I can lift a 50 lb. bag of chicken feed without a problem!). I'm enjoying interacting with other fitness minded people here and the food and exercise tracking helps me stay on track and become more aware of what I'm eating.

    Hi everyone -
    I'm just checking in. Most days I try to do one cardio workout in the morning and split my afternoon workouts through out the week with strength training and more cardio. On April 9th, my daughter and I participated in the Dirty Girl mud run in Phoenix. This over - stressed my neuro-muscular disorder, so last week I was fatigued and ill. I was so frustrated, yet gave myself a break (working out significantly less than I prefer). I am so glad I was patient, as I still lost weight and this week I feel rested and ready to push harder!

    I am inspired by all of your posts and enjoy reading the successes of others here.

    Lower body HIIT. A little tougher than usual this morning.
    Half burpees suck as much as the full ones

    Hi everyone, new to MFP (one month in) and looking forward to joining in the fun with this group. I've lost 21 lbs, which is about half my overall goal, so very pleased so far.

    Glad your taxes are done!

    I did my glutes/legs/abs day, today....but could only manage 2 sets of my last 4 exercises. THAT SUCKED.

    Hi! Great thread! I'm 54 and a few years ago I was 16 stone 8lb (232lb) and now I'm 12 Stone 4lb (172lb) done with watching my eating and taking up regular exercise in my life, the initial weight loss was over the first year, and the last year I've been on maintenance weight control.

    I've been on the weight loss journey starting with walking more two years ago and increasing my exercise - I feel a whole lot better for it. Then a year and a half ago I increased my exercise again so that I have been going to the gym for over a year and a half now.

    My goals for this year is to gain muscle and keep on keeping myself healthy (with the odd naughty days...I am human after all :-) ). I've joined a new gym so once I settle in I'll get a new weight training programme to achieve my goals.
