    Very hard 35 minute fartlek on the mill. Glad it's over.
    Finished with 72 push ups and some hanging leg raises. These were kinda pitiful. Need to work on them.
    Hit the 140s yesterday- haven't been there in over 5 years.

    Hi 40 year old newbie with 5 stone to lose. Is it possible to shift this kind of weight at this age? Been overweight to some extent for 20 years but with kids now I want to be able to enjoy activities without feeling 80 after 3 mins. Love to hear some success stories at this age!

    It takes time. Too many think that after gaining for twenty years they will drop it all in a few months. And you can find stories on here about some doing just that. But most don't.
    It takes time to change habits and lifestyle. And you have to make fundamental changes. I don't care for people saying they are "going on a diet". To me that implies short term and deprivation.
    I gained weight because for years I ate more than I burned. So I've had to do several things.
    1. Figure out what emotional needs I was addressing with food and develop better ways to deal with those issues.
    2. Get a grip on exactly what I was eating by starting to track with MFP even without trying to cut much. Just knowing what I was doing helped me start making better choices.
    3. Make better choices for fewer calories so that
    4. Eat at a deficit and
    5. Start moving more.


    I took years to get fat. I figure it will take several years to lose the weight. And I can't ever go back to what I was doing before.

    I also figured that if I didn't change something all I would be is older. And since I am not dead yet I can still choose to change.

    Hello all! I haven't posted here in a long time. 14 weeks ago I started my weightloss journey again. (Weight Watchers and exercise) I have lost 28 lbs! For some reason it is finally clicking. I had reached my highest weight ever in January. I saw a picture of myself and knew something had to change. Happy to accept new friends to follow.

    Did a 12k run on Sunday and it felt good. Longest run since the fall. Was all set to head out for a run on Monday when I stubbed my toe - bad. So, no run. :disappointed: It is bruised and swollen and I was limping pretty bad yesterday. It feels better today - still coloured and a bit swollen, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be, so that's good news. I am signed up to run a half marathon the first weekend of June, so this really, really pissed me off. I don't like set backs. There are worse things in life, so let's carry on.

    Got a good strength workout in yesterday. Increased the weights in all my exercises! Progress! :)
