    what age are you considered middle aged? (asking for a friend)
    Lol! Tell “your friend” it depends. Someone, in this thread I believe, stated 40 is the new 20!

    New here! Like your thread here. Starting to think as we age, none of us 'feel' that we're old. I'm 53. I start to get annoyed when some 20-something year old employee (server/cashier) calls me 'hun' or 'sweetie' like I'm an old woman. Just leave it at 'Miss' or 'Ma'am'. LOL Men have it better, they are called sir whether 16 or 90.

    Hi! I'm 41 and I would like to get down to a 'fighting weight' by my 42nd birthday in May. Well really, I just want to fit into the cute spring and summer clothes that are in my closet. My weight has gradually crept up over the past couple years and I'm probably about ten pounds away from fitting into those clothes comfortably.

    I did MFP a few years ago and got skinny (probably too skinny), then gradually gained it back because I didn't learn how to maintain. This time around, I'm focusing on being mindful and retraining my perception of what a 'good' portion size is.

    I have been doing regular exercises for a few years. Running is the most efficient way to lose weight for me. Weights is the best way to shape body. I am down from 125 pounds to current 113 pounds. It is slow given the time that I spent in gym. But I am happy with my body now and no worries too much about what I eat. I’d like to meet friends with similar interests and keep me going.

    On PC I click the person's profile picture and then when the next screen pops up I click the picture again...it's kind of strange.

    If your knee is strong, treadmill is the best to burn fat. Otherwise elliptical is good. Those are the two I used for cardio. I use all weight machines. They are targeted and all good.
