Good morning middle agers.
Got a 5 1/2 mile run / walk in last night. Tough go as we got a fair bit of snow. It was like running in sand.
... I'm just a slacker, I guess!

I recently bench pressed 385, pressed 225 lbs for 30 reps. Incline 345 lbs Saturday, all this after total rotator cuff repair 3 years ago. Add me if you're old(lol) and lift heavy.

Hi all
I'm 45 year old female from belgium be a part of mfp family for a while but always looking for motivated serious friends
Like the name of this post so if you want to add me feel free to do.
I had loss weight 11kg (24 lbs) but the last months I gain almost everything (I had a virus but honestly it was an easy excuse to do no workouts).
So I need friends that give me good kicks under the butt and be honest I can handle that
Gr from belgium

You can add me if you want. I'm 49 and determined to hit the big five oh fitter and healthier than ever before.

I'll be 50 in Febuary ! - Feel free to add me ....and a bit about me Just a quick intro . I'm Jon and based in Surrey, UK.
Ex IM athlete when my body fat was below 10% and I looked fit and healthy. Ten years on I still do a bit of running, cycling but my cloths no longer fit me . I decided to 'invest' in a set of bathroom scales today and despite the denial for a long time I realise I am obesed, fat , though I still like to think fairly fit.
So hear I am now writing this and deciding what action plan to take. Would love to hear about your inspiring stories...

Wow, lots of new activity on this thread! Exciting to have so many new friends in my age group. My "go to" exercise/workouts are varied, as I get bored doing the same thing all the time. So I power walk outdoors, or walk/run on the treadmill at home, sometimes do kickboxing, dance and hula-hoop. I don't have a gym membership, but considering it in the Spring to work on toning up after the weight loss. Hopefully, I will be at my goal weight by then. I love having new friends that are active, committed loggers with open diaries, who love to interact.2

I have a similar issue. My final pregnancy was really rough, and then I just never lost the baby weight and then some. Before that I was a hardcore gym rat and very fit--active my whole life. That's what I see in my mind's eye. Even though I've been very overweight for the last seven years, I'm still constantly surprised at how big I am when I catch my reflection or step on the scale.
I'm now on a journey to make the reflection in the mirror match my mental picture of myself.

Mama of 5, 46, and Fluffy... But don't tell anyone! I started out at 23 with what I should have been content with.. several babies and an ex-hubby later and seriously.. I could be the Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Wife...Started the LCHF/Keto WOE in October and have lost 39 lbs since 11/1/16! Definitely need support and looking for fellow companions who know that MTV used to play music videos and who know what it's like to poop without a smartphone...
Anyone who fits that description.... ADD ME!6 -

I have a similar issue - was fine with babies 1 and 2, and just before I fell pregnant with my youngest I was the fittest I'd ever been (thanks in no small part to a lot of Morris dancing - you may laugh, but just try playing a flute whilst high-knee skipping all around the Square Mile in London leading a bunch of Morris dancers!) but I've never been able to shift the weight I put on with her, and my metabolism seemed to slow right down afterwards. I still have this mental image of myself as this fit, active and slim person that I haven't been in 9 years. I get reminded of it whenever I try to do anything more active than a stroll to the shops though.
Determined to turn it around though and regain that level of fitness again though. There's a new gym opening up just 10 minutes' (fast) walk away from where I live that I think will help.
