I knew I was "gettin old," but it never registered just how much until I saw this saying "middle-aged" and "upper 30's" in the same sentence! lol
37 here. Down 23 in the last 3 months. 15-20 to go... Be there by summer!
Feel free to add me, anyone.
Just wait til you really get "old". Our local Association of Retired Persons allows membership starting at 50 even though not retired. I got my membership card last year, and its a creepy feeling to walk into a store and the attendant does a quick look over and asks whenever I have the discount card. Of course they were asking me that since I was 49 or 48, so maybe I always looked old.3 -

Hi!
45 year old mother of 5. I run, strength train, and just started taking Barre sessions which I love! I'm getting ready to run in my 2nd Half marathon on Sunday here in Cincy. I feel pretty fabulous right now for my age. I quit smoking 4 years ago tomorrow and quit binge drinking as well. It wasn't easy but one of the best decisions I've ever made!
I really want to get stronger and gain more muscle this year. It's not easy though!! I'm up for any suggestions.
Please feel free to add me if you'd like!2 -
Hi!

Bridget from WV - turning 37 in 2 weeks.
I giggle at this because I called myself middle aged the other day while talking to my mother, and she was quick to tell me that "37 was not middle-aged, and you're not 37 yet".
I think the idea is much more traumatizing for her than it is for me1 -
This thread moves fast!0

Gosh, first I look at everyone and think - DAYUM ya'll look good. Where is the group for old ugly folks with no hope? Okay - maybe I have a little hope - but I've gotten into some bad habits. Been trying to follow the DASH diet, which they tell you "you don't have to measure anything" BUT - my body says "oh yes you do!" Cause I haven't lost squat on that. Then I was doing so dang good on the exercise bike and hitting the gym 3 days during the work week, walking dogs on the weekend and the old age hit me. BURSITIS. like WTH is this? Why do I hurt? Needless to say, doc told me "stop going to the gym" OH BOY - anyway - you all keep saying "add me" - - what does that mean?!?! Add me -2

40 here - I've been on MFP for years and just can't stay consistent. I've developed terrible habits in the past couple of years and have been gaining 10+ lbs every winter (and only losing 5 or less in the interim)! I'm finally getting serious about making a true lifestyle change. Feel free to add me! I do much better with a support system.3
