Hi,
I just turned 39. I've been on and off MFP for a few years. I love strength training and loathe cardio.1 -
Hi!
I'm in the upper limits of 'middle' age- for 51 to be the middle, I'd have to live to be 102- but I'd like to join your thread.
I suspect that slimming is slightly different for us than for those in their teens/early twenties.
I'm low-carbing the past 18 months but not no-carbing. I've lost 4 stone though slipped up over Thanksgiving week quite a bit and put on about five pounds.
That will take me ten weeks to lose again.

56 in two weeks. Add me!
I am a long term (not consistent) mfp user. Achilles heel is red wine!! And cheese. Trying to lose 10-15 pounds. I strength train 3x weekly and swim or jog when I can fit it in. Just increased my calories to 1350. Been restricting too long so it's hard to make progress. Hi everyone!1 -

Congrats on your fitness!
As I've aged, the amount of overhead time added to my workouts to remain healthy has gone way up. Proper warm ups/cool downs, consistent stretching, foam rolling routines and other related stuff like yoga have become a regular part of my routine. Its a bit time consuming, but losing weeks or months to an injury is much worse.

Really enjoying the interaction I have receive in the last few days - good to be getting and giving encouragement. Christmas time is a hard time to stay on any eating plan and as much as I have tried to in the past you can't outrun poor eating choices and I am sure I will make some in the next few days and will probably enjoy it until I weigh in but getting back on plan and sticking to it is what is important. I ran today - 6.2 miles which took to 2,003 miles this year as I reached my goal. Going to work on running faster and take up biking some. I lost about 55 pounds a few years ago and have kept it off mainly because of my wife's encouragement this myfitnesspal. Hope all had a great day - feel free to add me7

That is awesome Ray_Libby. I am good with Christmas eating until I go to my mom's just smelling her food adds 5 lbs. Everyone have a terrific day!0

I am not nearly concerned about the Christmas binge this year as I cannot eat gluten, so that rules out all the Christmas baking, breads, gravies, etc.5

I agree! It is really easy to consume 500 calories and really hard to burn 500 calories - especially this time of year!! Too easy to stuff a few cookies in your mouth and ruin your hard work! Sigh. Just trying to keep the big picture in mind. Stay motivated!!6 -
30 minutes on the stationary bike tonight, 9.985 miles done next time I will crack that 10 miles..6

I didn't realize that Christmas cookies could talk until my wife left me alone in the house with a large container of them.5
