Hi I'm Ali, 46, I live in Scotland and am mum to two young boys. After years stuck behind a desk I'm now a dog walker and have my own super energetic 2 year old Vizsla puppy.
I am getting back to formal training after a serious knee injury a couple of years ago.
I love kettlebells, Body Combat and yoga.
Looking forward to being part of the group and would love to make some like minded friends.
Good luck to you all with your fitness and health goals.....

Hi! I'm a 44 year old pharmacist who works full time. I have 2 boys (13 and 17) who both play travel and school sports. We are finishing up baseball season and it's time to get serious about weight loss. I want to be front and center in the pictures during my son's senior year instead of hiding in the back.

I'm Micki. I'm a 48 yr old mom of a 9 year old. I am divorced from, but have reconciled with, my "wasband" after being separated/living apart for a period of time.

Like many here, my family always came first. After Christmas 2015, something in my brain changed... and I began taking care of me in addition to them. I have lost 60 pounds in the mean time, and am in the process of working the last 20-ish off... but my goal is to have a healthy body fat%, so that's my focus right now.

I work from my home office for a major healthcare provider. I have a sedentary job, so I have to be very intentional in my exercise. It's very easy to get complacent!

I'd love to make some "flatscreen" as well as IRL friends to go through this journey with.

Hi. Here looking for support and a distraction. Hope to make some new friends on this journey.

Hi everyone! I just joined. I just turned 44 this month. I have a 24 year old son, a 22 year old daughter, a 19 year old son, and a three year old grandson who all live with my husband and I. My husband and I have been together for 26 years and have been married for 24. We also have two pitt/sheppard/boxer mix dogs named Bonnie and Clyde who will be a year and a half in June.

I have fibromyalgia, spinal problems, and the possible beginning stages of MS so I have constant pain and fatigue which makes it very difficult for me to be active most days, but I've just hit 190lbs which is the most I've ever weighed including when I was pregnant so I have to work on eating better and being more active. My goal weight is 150lbs with a stretch goal of 135.

I'm so glad I've found this group and looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends so feel free to add me!

Hi i am new to this group, I am 47, soon to be 48 on Friday. This past year, I had felt like walking zombie most days, super tired, and unmotivated. I need to lose about 60lbs to be at my healthy ideal weight. I have 2 kids 19 & 16, a fairly active hubby who is on his own health journey, and 2 cute Keeshonds. I teach special ed K-5, and I love it!

I have set a goal for my b-day next November 10, to be at my healthy weight, so i can be an energetic and fit 49 year old mama!

I finally decided to look into the community aspect of MFP...so here i am

I have been using MFP for almost 4 weeks. I have lost 12.6lbs, by eating clean foods, keeping calories at or around 1200, and ramping up my movement little by little. Setting attainable goals, and trying to do my best to attain them, than move up.

I started exercising the second week of dieting, by slowly adding beginner yoga on amazon video every morning, and setting a step goal. I have moved up to level 2 in yoga! I began walking more and getting more steps in with my dogs and hubby, I even attempted jogging last night!

I use a Garmin to keep track of my steps, but I am asking for a little nicer fitness tracker for my b-day (11/10). I think it can help keep me even more on track.

I prefer to be outside to do exercise, but Michigan is a fickle bi*** in the fall , and so darn nasty in winter. So, I will also try do exercise videos when it gets yucky out. But, I will need motivation to keep exercising daily....its not my fave. But i want it to be

Greetings - joined MFP for something fresh after using Sparkpeople for 10 years. Just turned 47, professor, mom of two young boys, barely recognize myself from the recent weight creep. Sad and tired of feeling so frumpy standing in front of my class. Really *really* want to turn it around and be my best, fit, healthy self.

Hi, I'm new to the site and would welcome new friends. I'm at the heaviest I've ever been, I'm aiming to loose about 95 pounds and just look after myself better.

I've been following Leslie Sansone walk at home workouts for a few months and have just started a gentle jog-walk plan https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/5k-run/art-20050962

I have 2 teenage sons, lovely partner and the naughtiest cat in the world. We live just south of Manchester, England.

Thanks :-)

Hi all, I joined this group a while back but never posted or did anything really, now I find myself at my highest weight ever.

I am from North Cork, Ireland and need to lose 2st (28lbs). My catalyst came yesterday when I had to go up to the gallery at church and was out of breath and it was only one flight of stairs! I am a single mother of two teenagers, an 18yr old Son, and 16yr old Daughter.

Looking forward to making new friends and getting this weight off for once and for all.
