Hello All
I am Vin From Australia, An team leader fire rescue fire fighter for the aussie outback mines. with my role/job i need to try and stay in shape... its an long haul but i will get there one day

Losing fat and gaining muscle is my goal. I monitor macros closely and measure body fat and use the mirror to measure progress. Not a lover of the scale. Interested in sharing recipes and workout stories with others committed to transforming their bodies. I am especially interested in how heavy lifters control joint and tendon damage/pain as they age. I welcome messages and will reply. Dr. Z

Hi,

I have gone up and down the scale for many years and are hoping this time to take it off for good.

Hi, I am Brigett and I am 48, I turn 49 in March. I am a mother of two grown girls and I have one 3 year old grandson

I am so glad to find this group! I am more concerned about gaining muscle but I feel like I do have some pounds to lose. When I was 20 I was underweight I am sure, I never weighed myself, I never dieted, never worked out. I was just naturally tall and skinny.

Over the years the weight crept on and now I am on a mission to loss weight and build muscle. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week. I usually do 30 mins of cardio then hit the weights for at least another 30. I just stopped eating my exercise calories back as I have hit a wall...I feel like I have to work hard to get some of the body I use to have. I know I will never be 123 pounds again and I think it would make me look like an old lady. My goal 150, lower my body fat and lower my bmr. I am still considered normal as far as my current stats go but I would lover to be on the lower end of that...

Feel free to add me. I am a great support, I am on here everyday and log everyday.

Hey there people!

My name is Brenda, I live in Alaska and I'm 45.

I'm not sure I want to be in my 20s again because I'm rocking this whole 40s thing!

I'm THIS close to my first major goal of 175 and am anxious to cross that milestone off my list. My ultimate goal is to be around 150 and be able to do 50 pushups without stopping and at least 1 pull up!!!

I am on MFP every day and like to interact with my friends. My philosophy is calorie in vs calorie out and I try to have ice cream 4-5 times a week. So if you are looking for a buddy, send me an invite.

HI everyone! My name is Laura, I am 43 and mom of 2 girls, 5 and 9. So far I have lost 37 lbs out of my 80 lb goal, almost half way there! I work full time, commute 1 hr plus to work every day. A lot on my plate but working on getting healthy, feeling good now with the 37 lbs gone!

Hi there, I just turned 43 and making another go at losing the weight that I've slowly accumulated through the years. I'm at 105 kilo now (about 230 lbs) and would like to get down to 80-85 kilos (175-185) Wow, so that's a loss of 20 kilo's / 45lbs. I'm 6ft and have a bmi of 31.

But more importantly I want to get healthier and stronger. I started running about a year ago and try to do that 3 times a week. It's off again on again, but this morning I ran 2.5 km. I also lift weights now and again but need to make it part of my routine. And I walk every day as I have to fur kids.

Oh I'm a occupational therapist and work with teens and adults with multiple disabilities. I live in the Netherlands.

Hello everyone! I'm Alonzo and I turned 42 on the 4th! That day I weighed in at the lowest weight I've been since my 20's.....woohoo!!! Let's do this!!!

Hello from sunny Colorado! I'm 46, single mom of two teenage boys, and I travel a lot for work. I started running about four years ago and I'm pretty consistent now at 4 4mile runs per week. I love to run in other cities when I travel - I've definitely been to areas I wouldn't have gone to otherwise. I eat healthy to stay healthy and I have a goal of staying off daily meds by avoiding the lifestyle diseases that ruined my parents' last decades. The 40's have been my favorite decade by far!

I'm jumping in a little late…. My name is Cindy from Colorado and I just turned 48. I'm married and have a 16 year old daughter. I never had problems with my weight until got pregnant - and don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade her for the world! Since 1997, I've yo-yo'd up and down until about 3 years ago when all I have done is gain weight after I injured myself running and became very sedentary for a good year.

I'm at my wit's end and have tried everything…Weight Watchers, vegan, paleo, juicing - you name it. I finally realized that there is no magic bullet and that I need to hold myself accountable by logging what I eat and drink in addition to exercising.

Last year I started road biking with my husband and I love it. I lost some weight, but then gained it back over the winter. We've started biking again now that it's warming up and I also joined an exercise class that I hope to do 2-3 times a week in addition to biking.

Anyway, I've always told people I feel like an 18 year old stuck in a much older body. I want to feel physically great again like I did when I was younger.
