Glad I have found my age group I'm too near to 50 and a complete newbie to weight training, but love it! Once I'm stronger I would like to get into cycling and join a group next year. Be great to buddy up with a beginner too. I'm in Liverpool and happy to add with anyone close by

Hi Marie
if you want to start or get back into cycling try Breeze Rides https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/recreation/article/20141110-Breeze-bike-rides-for-women-0
to search for a ride make sure you click women only on the search options - there may well be a facebook page or group for your local area too. We've got a quite active group here where many women have made contacts and often go out on rides together that are not organised. Be warned a coffee and cake stop is often a part of the agenda :-) but once you start getting some miles that is no problem anyway and no-one minds if you don't part-take in the cake eating.
If you struggle getting started or want some advice please don't hesitate to contact me :-)

Hello all i'm 4,1 i'm 4 months in to a total body transformation

Its great seeing so many active people here.

Tuesdays are double session days for me. HIIT session with trainer done this morning. Tonight's track workout will be a couple mile warm up, then four miles of fun. Sixteen continuous 400s, alternating back and forth between 5k threshold pace and marathon pace, followed by a mile cool down.

I'm starting to think that training for a winter marathon was not my brightest idea.

46 add me

Almost 44 here (birthday is at the end of the month), mother of 3 (24, 22, 9, all girls) and as of Sunday night a grandmother of one boy! I've started C25K, planning to take up climbing at a nearby climbing gym in the new year (a friend is already a member there and can show me the ropes - pun totally intended), and I want to climb Snowden next August. :-)

48 here feel free for anyone to add me!

anyone can add me, I try to burn 1000 calories a day, 7 days a week, doing new and fun activities!

46 and training to run first half marathon next year. Feel free to add me.

Just about to hit 40 in 2 months!!! not looking forward to it, even being 39 I've been in my 30s, can't say that anymore

50, with a junior in high school and a senior in college. Raising them on my own for eight years. I love my kids, wouldn't be here without them. I love lifting, use to powerlift. 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

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...

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.
