Hi! I'm Jen. I'm not new to MFP, that's for sure, but I am new to the group. :) I've done quite well for myself on MFP in the past, but I've slipped and now I'm back to get back to where I was. Healthy. I'm 40 years old, married and have 2 children ages 7 and 11. I teach preschool children during the week and I love my job! I hope to lose about 20 lbs. I enjoy running and walking on the treadmill and walking outside. I'd love to run a 5k this summer. I'm currently looking for a good yoga DVD to add to my day. I'm glad to see a group for those of us in our forties.

    Welcome !!.. Being over 40 brings it's own set of challenges. Hopefully between all of us we can help each other reach their goals.

    Welcome!
    You're in the right place! People are so supportive on here!
    I ran my first 5k last spring...ended up doing three last year. One of them being a mud run/obstacle course.
    Keep up the great work!

    Karen: Thankyou. C25K was how I started running as well.
    Lisa: This group is just what I've been looking for. I need more support from people in my age group. All the groups I found previously were 30's.
    Brewman: That sounds awesome! Good job!

    Thanks for the welcome!
