Looking for 40 something friends

I will be 40 this year and have goals to meet before the big 40. I have been focused since February but using myfitpal on my phone is january. I have lost 9 pounds so far. I lost then gained then lost 2 more pounds as of yesterday by increasing my caloric intake and drinking more water. Love the advice and motivation on this site. Add me if you like.

There's nothing social about it; it is a science. Your body has to be in good condition to even start exercising right, or you can get hurt. You cant smoke: If you can't quit, then don't even try to improve your body. Start out with mental and emotional therapy, before you can handle the struggle of getting fit; you need self-discepline, too much support is weakness also.. You have to workout according to what your health is. If you try to starve yourself to drop weight, you will fail. Obcessing over your body is a weakness, so get help if you want the power to do right. Don't even worry about what you are eating at first, just start walking very briskly every night for at least 30min. You have to make a priority out of doing it too, if this is what you want. Sign on here and record everything and don't be discouraged when it says you have too much or too less, that is more advanced technique. When you feel like you are too comfy with walking and it doesn't hurt anymore, you are on a plateau and will go back down if you don't give yourself a challenge. Now start conditioning your heart by jogging till you feel like you are floating in a cloud and never get tired. That means you are on a plateau for running. Congrats, you are conditioned and your metabolism will now reject storing weight. Now you can read and talk to your doctor about a balanced diet and start using resistance in your workouts. Never do the same thing after you are past the running stage or you will plateau.
