40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

I am 40 years old and o would like to join this group. I am trying to loose 70 pounds.. I have just started to workout at a local gym for 6 days a week. Unfortunately I have only lost a pound. I workout from moderate to high intensity at least 45 mins. What else should I do to speed up my weight loss?

Snd remember Yoda.
There is no try. There is only do.

In some time on here my observation is if someone says they are"trying" then they really aren't determined enough yet to make all the changes needed to take it off and keep it off.

I'm not being harsh or picking on you. I had over 200 pounds to lose. I'm about half way there. I've "tried" losing it many times. But I was not really willing to cut the calories and to stop using food as an emotional crutch. I've done counseling to learn better ways to cope with some issues. And that has freed me to get my intake under control.

Finally you didn't gain it overnight and you won't lose it quickly. And you just need to lose one pound then repeat that a bunch of times. Celebrate the one. Then do it again.

Beeps hope the surgery went well!

Bah, still at 148 lbs, nothing moving. Need to try and be more diligent and reduce sugar and carbs. Not sure how well that will go. I have to admit with working out as often and hard as I do I resent having to give up the stuff I like when I try to be mindful of what I eat day to day and I feel like I earn my little treats.

Just turned 40 and would love to join. Goals are cleaner eating, more consistent exercise, and to be a healthier role model for my son. So glad this group is here!

Nice, I was looking forward to swimming some this summer and then I broke my shoulder. Oops. It's cooling off fast now so I don't know if I'll make it into a lake now.

My Sunday plan was to walk the dog and I tried the weight vest my wife had to train for the forest service pack test to go on fire. I liked it, great way to get more bang for your buck, especially uphill. I left two of the 5 lb weights out, next time I'll take the whole 45 lb rig.

Good morning everyone. I am a little stiff and sore this morning. Yesterday was the first day of cutting wood and lugging it in the wood shed. We get tree length brought in and my husband cuts and my son and I carry it. It was great to get it started, and I wasn't nearly as miserable as usual. Tired and ready to be done, but not miserable. Amazing what 36 lbs less weight can do for you. We probably have 5 more days of it once a week, so it's not too bad.
We are trying a few new healthy recipes this week, so hope it goes well. The first one my husband didn't really like too well, but my daughter and I did. So hard to find things that everyone will like.
Peeps, hope the surgery went well and you're recovering nicely.
Welcome to the new people, just post and share and let us know how you're doing and a little about you. We are all here to encourage and help and just be here for each other.
Have a good monday everyone.

I made a sundried tomato and basil shrimp pasta. He has a bunch of sinus stuff, so maybe his taste was off. I liked it. I tried to help my cousin doing MFP logging food and stuff using her apple ipad and it was like doing it on the phone. It is quite different and hard for me to get around on it and do what I want to, but I was trying to show her how to find things. Hopefully it will help her. She is very fit and healthy and trying to loose a last 10-15 lbs. It said she wasn't eating enough, she didn't want to hear that. She eats a plant based diet and I was worried she wasn't eating enough protein, but she is, needs to increase her fats. Hopefully it will show her something to help. I hate logging on my phone, I have a hard time figuring things out. have a great day everyone.
