    Hi! My name is Sherri...I'm 41 with 3 kids also....I work retail so I'm on my feet running around all day long...just started a strength training program to hopefully jumpstart my weight loss. Was told by a personal trainer that I was doing too much cardio and not enough weight training. So we'll see how it goes!

    Feel free to add me!

    Sherri, did your trainer tell you that that is the reason that you are not losing weight is because of too much cardio? I'm doing about 9 hrs. of cardio a week (differnet classes) and I'm keeping up just fine. I did add on 30 min with my trianer 2x week for a combination of cardio/strength training. I'm not losing it fast but I am seeing some weight and inches come off. I was just wondering if there is such a thing of too much cardio and can that prevent you from losing weight?

    Thanks!

    I'm new to MFP and also looking to add friends who are in their 40's. I'm struggling to find motivation to take off the 10 extra pounds I gained while being unemployed for 3 months. :smile:

    You can add me. I'm 44, single mother of a 14 yr old boy & 12 yr old girl. My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2009. It turned my wold upside down & I packed on the pounds. Things are much better now. She is on an insulin pump and the daily roller coaster of blood sugars have become our "normal" way of life. I'm back in the gym and making healthier meals for all 3 of us.
