40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Still getting older. Please let me know if anyone figured how to change that.

Weekend vacation to Chicago = Done!

Hi there I'm Michelle and I'll be 41 in June. I live on 3 1/2 acres in rural AZ with my fiance, 2 cats, 2 dogs and a flock of chickens. We grow our own produce and eat very healthfully (almost no processed food- I make everything from scratch). I'm a very active woman and I love working out. I'd like to lose a few pounds, but mostly I think I'm just trying to maintain my weight as I get older. I've been incorporating more strength training into my workouts and it's definitely paying off (I can lift a 50 lb. bag of chicken feed without a problem!). I'm enjoying interacting with other fitness minded people here and the food and exercise tracking helps me stay on track and become more aware of what I'm eating.

P90X Ab Ripper X, Squats, Dips, Chin Ups, Pull Ups, Abdominal Leg Raise and Lunge = Done!

Hi everyone -
I'm just checking in. Most days I try to do one cardio workout in the morning and split my afternoon workouts through out the week with strength training and more cardio. On April 9th, my daughter and I participated in the Dirty Girl mud run in Phoenix. This over - stressed my neuro-muscular disorder, so last week I was fatigued and ill. I was so frustrated, yet gave myself a break (working out significantly less than I prefer). I am so glad I was patient, as I still lost weight and this week I feel rested and ready to push harder!

I am inspired by all of your posts and enjoy reading the successes of others here.

Lower body HIIT. A little tougher than usual this morning.
Half burpees suck as much as the full ones

Front Squat, Hang Clean, Dead Lift, Bent Over Rows, Overhead Push Press = Done!

Hi everyone, new to MFP (one month in) and looking forward to joining in the fun with this group. I've lost 21 lbs, which is about half my overall goal, so very pleased so far.

Well tax filing deadline is past. Now I can get my life back. I can get back into my workout schedule and get proper rest.

"22 Minute Hard Corps Cold Start, Cardio 1 & Core 2"=Done!

45 minute upper body.
Incline push-ups still killing me.

Dips, Pull Ups, Chin Ups, Planks, Abdominal Leg Raise and Elliptical Trainer = Done!

Hi! Great thread! I'm 54 and a few years ago I was 16 stone 8lb (232lb) and now I'm 12 Stone 4lb (172lb) done with watching my eating and taking up regular exercise in my life, the initial weight loss was over the first year, and the last year I've been on maintenance weight control.

I've been on the weight loss journey starting with walking more two years ago and increasing my exercise - I feel a whole lot better for it. Then a year and a half ago I increased my exercise again so that I have been going to the gym for over a year and a half now.

My goals for this year is to gain muscle and keep on keeping myself healthy (with the odd naughty days...I am human after all :-) ). I've joined a new gym so once I settle in I'll get a new weight training programme to achieve my goals.

Bis & Tris=DONE!
