    Can I slip in, at 47? I'm still going to be managing my weight, health, and exercise in my 50s (and 60s, and 70s...)

    Heck yeah! You are in!

    Lets jump start this group....2 questions for this Monday morning.....

    1- Where are you from? Be as specific or vague as you'd like.
    2- What is one challenge that worries you this week?

    I'll start...

    1-Atlanta
    2- Getting my exercise in. Been walking 4 straight days and I am sore, knees hurt and my back is tight. If I can just get to 250 I will feel so much better!

    Sound off!

    1 - I'm from NJ.
    2 - I just looked at the calendar, and I don't anticipate any worries this week. I think I have things pretty much set.

    How exciting ! I love running - but in the warmer weather.

    Originally New England, now in California for quite some time, and probably forever, because I can't stand moving :)


    2- What is one challenge that worries you this week?


    Exercise in bad weather. I get spoiled by the California year-round outdoors climate, and this whole week is going to be drenched in cold rain with high winds. I got soaked yesterday (but I hit my step target!) I'm not sure quite how I'm going to manage exercise this week.

    I'm in London
    My big challenge is finding an exercise that I can do - I've had a series of bad breaks to wrists and ankles so running and cycling is out at the moment, and I don't get home from work in time for swimming - any thoughts?

    Hey all, would love to join this group! I’m in North FL and just started a few days ago. Love the app and community, and looking to add friends to share support. I’m turning 52 tomorrow 🎉 and need to lose 50 lbs!! My biggest challenge for this week will be being able to continue making healthy food choices when I have major cravings for the bad stuff!

    Good Luck! You can do this!

    what about just walking? or a stationary bike?
