    Will be 45 soon and recently worked out from home until knee pain stopped my running. Have about 14 more lbs to go (weight has been bouncing around the past month).

    Hope knee pain resolves with Physical Therapy and get back into running soon!

    42, quite a bit more than 10# to lose, and workout only at home! Elliptical, dvds, and a whole lot of yard work on a regular basis. Add me if you want! (or anyone else too )

    I turn 43 tomorrow (not sure if I should say yay or yikes to that!) I mostly walk or bike ride the trails near my house. I have a gym membership and plan to start weight lifting Monday. I have about 12 lbs to lose before I decide if I'm happy at that weight or want to lose a few more lbs.

    So the story of my live. I was almost there and then I gained again and now I have to loose over 30 pounds instead of the only 4 which were left *sighhh* 45 as well and it looks like it is getting harder and harder. Keto seems to be the most effective, but again I gained 2 pounds this week :ohwell:

    I am 42 and I work out 90% of the time from home. I still have about 30 lbs to lose though. I do Turbo Fire, Insanity, Running, Weights, and sometimes elliptical. I am an avid exerciser, my problem is in the kitchen!! As I get older, every little thing food wise I do effects me, I can exercise until I am blue, and its not my answer, but I keep trying to figure it out! You can add me if you like, happy to support others with same problems!

    I'm 42 and I work out at home because it's convenient. My favorite work out is Zumba but recently, been loving the Turbo Fire HIIT work outs. I also run on the treadmill. I try to log in daily and show my support. Anyone here, feel free to add me:smile:

    I'm still just starting out. I"m about two months in, and this time (this is my third MFP attempt) I am really having fun with it. I send out maybe one or two friend requests every couple days or so, but I don't always have time to send requests to everybody I would want to add. I'm 41, I work out at home (mostly), and I appreciate all the good tips and motivation I get from MFP friends.

    Hi I'm 46 and am just starting to workout at home and have only just started to diet so got a way to go. I have invested in a rowing machine on which I am going to do about 15 mins a day to start with and some weights to do some toning and I also walk the dog usually twice a day for 30-40 mins each. You can lose the extra pounds you need to, keep at it, you've done so well. :happy:

    I'm 42 and more or less at maintenance. My goals are to keep my weight steady and get more fit. I like to run when it's not hot as hades, currently doing JM DVDs and the Butt Bible off youtube. Happy to support anyone who needs it! Best of luck to you with your goals OP.

    Hi, I'm 44 and also have about 10lbs to lose. Got myself a Fitbit back in April, which has helped increase my walking. Also like cycling and an occasional run! :)

    You're all welcome to send a friend request. I mostly use the exercise bike although I do go out for walks and rides too. I lift weights at home but don't tend to log this as it's minimal and not cardio in any case.

    I was on MFP a couple of years ago, and reached my goal weight within 7 months, before the age of 40. It's sliding a bit now so got to get it back in check.

    Those last few lbs are hard to maintain, too, or I wouldn't be back here - getting there is only half the battle. It's hard, but you can do it!

    Erm actually I turned 50 in March. Do I count lol
    I am looking for people to befriend and have some fun along the way.
    I like to help motivate people and be motivated myself.
    It's been a long struggle, but I am actually now in the frame of mind.

    I've been on the BIGGEST LOSER SITE and did well until something major in my life turned everything upside down.
    I would also like a few friends who are in the same time zone as me lol.

    I'm 47 and live in a remote area, so I work out at home.

    I have an array of DVD workouts ranging from yoga to weights (dumbbells), aerobic dance, with some Jillian Michaels workouts I have not worked myself up to yet!

    I have a rebounder/minitrampoline which I use with my Polar FT4 Heartrate monitor. it is great as I can prop it against the wall when not in use, and then can flip it down in front of the tv to walk, jog, and "jump rope" right in the living room with low impact and high intensity (300-400 calorie burn in thirty to forty minutes!).

    I do have one piece of cardio equipment, my recumbent bike that has resistance levels so I can build muscle and cardio fitness at the same time..

    Finally, I go on plenty of walks, and have made it a hobby to seek out scenic hour to two hour walks to do on weekends with a friend.

    41 checking in. All of my workouts are at home (dumbbells & pullup bar) except for my running. It's hard to hit a gym with 4 kids to raise so all I have time for is what I can do in the basement.

    I've never run out of options at home. What with dumbbell specific weight routines, Insanity, Asylum, T25, P90X, Fitness Blender, we're spoiled for choices.

    Hi, I'm 44, and working out at home - doing 30 DS at the moment; before that I did Ripped in 30. I am also running 2 or 3 times a week outdoors. Happy to be getting fit for free!

    I'm working up towards my maintenance calories right now; increasing by a couple of hundred every couple of weeks.

    Anyone can feel free to send me a friend request - who would have thought we would be such a large group?
