    Snowing here where is spring. Guess we will be on the treadmill toady or maybe cross country skiing. good luck to all have a good week

    Good morning!

    Sorry it is snowing there. I guess I won't rub it in that we were in the 70s yesterday and I had some windows open to let the fresh air in. :D:p

    Enjoy that treadmill my friend. :*

    My apologies too, but I have to say it's 29C here, which is about 84F, so definitely not snowing. The only thing I know about snow is on the news and in my childhood story books.

    Hello!! I'll be 39 next month, so I guess I belong here. :) I've lost 22 pounds this year and have 14 to go to be at my happy weight. I hope to get there before swimsuit season is in full swing! But it's supposed to be 77 in Nashville tomorrow, so it might be here before I know it!

    43, Divorced and no kids (Until last December). I found out I have a 20 year old daughter I never knew about who is now having a baby of her own. Long rough story for her but we have come together and now I realize I have more to be healthy and ensure I live a long life for daughter who we are making up for lost time. I mean I still laugh, adventure and maybe even party but now I am doing it a bit smarter? So life really does start in your middle ages lol. Add me if you want a fun loving guy to chat with and enjoy this healthy adventure with.

    I’ll be 40 in two short weeks, but I feel like I’m in my twenties as far as my physical fitness and energy levels, etc. Still about 15 pounds from my goal weight, but im down 50+ pounds over the last couple years. Any advice for what to expect or prepare for once I’m officially in the 40 club?

    Everybody is different. You already state you feel like your twenties, so that doesn't have to change overnight. I'm 52, and people say I look young. Some people 10 years younger than me are sick and dying, and other people are living to 90 and still healthy and active.

    So really, there's no standard advice we can give on what to expect or prepare for.

    Happy Monday to all of you! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. I knew I was going to have a gain today, but boy, it was a bit more than I expected! First one, I've had since I started in mid-January! I plan on it being gone by weigh-in next Monday! Started out this am, weighing and measuring my breakfast, logging and have got a plan for dinner! Going out to lunch but I've got that already figured out! Not going to let this "setback" get to me. I knew what I was doing and there was going to be a gain. The important thing to me-is I am not making excuses and getting back on track. In the past, I would throw my hands up and say, "What's the point, I gained weight back might as well quit." I have a whole different mind set this time around and I'm not going to do that! I thank all of you on this site for your stories, sharing and support! It makes this journey easier, knowing that I'm not alone it! :)

    Prepare for everything to sag. And I mean everything.

    Hmm, me and my MFP friend have been discussing the minimum cut-off age for this group. What's middle aged? Late 30s sounds fair, but there are one or two 30 year olds in this thread! B)

    I've seen some even younger than that!

    I'm 33 next month. I was kinda thinking 38+

    That said, the middle agers seem to be a slightly friendlier bunch who perhaps take themselves a little less seriously than some of my millenial peers.

    By the time you're knocking on 50...you can't take life too seriously.

    So I changed my password after the data breach...not really much info to steal here. I was hoping they would steal a couple of pounds or some calories, but it's all still there. :D

    So, I've had this app for a month or two but I only found out about the community part a couple weeks ago. I figure I should stop lurking and say hi. So....hi lol
    I'm a Canuck in my mid forties and I'm trying to lose a good chunk of weight. I'm trying to do this while dealing with Fibromyalgia, which I've had for over 23 years now, and various other things. Feel free to add me if you'd like :)
