Welcome to the group

Hi! I’m 48 and have a long road ahead but today I’m positive I can do it! Saw a photo of myself in my daughters birthday pic last week and that’s motivated change!

Hi - I'm 42 and new to this group! Nice to see others dealing with the same issues losing weight that I am.

👋 I'm new to this group too, so hello everyone. I've meant to say hi for a few days but I'm never sure what to say, ha

Fitness routines for me are... Not a lot really. I try and get my steps in

If anyone has a fitbit and fancies a challenge.

When I can be bothered going to the gym, which isn't that often tbh, I like the resistance and strength stuff. I need to get back into it because I feel better and less creaky.

Turns out I had quite a lot to say there 😂

I live in a small town that doesn't have a great gym and my current schedule doesn't really have time in it to go. I do planks, pushups, triceps dips....walk 2.75 miles on my lunch break when possible, garden, clean 11 stalls (horses), ride 3-4 horses and all the chores that go along with them.

Hi, I'm new as well. I'm 43, and have decided that this is the year to finally sort out my fitness. I have similar issues to @cayenne_007 regarding the gym, but I've started Couch to 5K (week 6 at the moment), and I have a strength training app on my phone that takes me through bodyweight strength training exercises every day as well. I walk every day that I'm not doing C25K, just for half an hour, but quite often go on 6-8 miles hikes on the weekends. It's useful not relying on the gym, it makes the whole exercise routine much faster and more convenient to fit into my day.

As far as profession goes, I teach Welsh to adults and do a bit of web design/tech support on the side.

I'm a controller for a manufacturing company = lots of time sitting on my butt at work playing with numbers.

Hi I am an STNA and a figure skating coach. I do cardio and weights.

Hello everyone. I turned 42 this year and set out this past jan to lose weight. It took a lot of dedication, but I dropped ~30 pounds 212 ->181. The exercise regiment I follow focuses on intensity over duration. I do strength training 3 days/week, HIIT 2 days/week, and sprinkle in some road/mountain biking on the weekends. For example, I had a workout last week that took me 12 minutes and I was done for the day, but it was maximum effort. I'm an Air Force pilot and they keep me busy, so I was trying to find something that didn't require me to be in the gym for hours every week. The catalyst for me to drop weight was nutrition; I meal prep now and track all my calories, macros, and to a lesser extent micros. I'm looking for some fitness buddies as well, so feel free to add. I'm have one at the moment; thanks @nickylee76 .

I guess I'm finally the older one here. I am 49 and trying to look fab for my next birthday. Feel free to add me.

I've worked on the MALD and JASSM.

Hi, I am new to this group! I am 41 years old, soon to be 42. Full time worker and mom of 2 kids, one in college and one starting kindergarten in a few days.

I want to lose between 60 and 75lbs. I'd be happy to lose 30 at this point

I like working out, I usually go around 5am to 6am.... Working out is not my issue.. it's obviously food.. and consistency with food/diet.... Currently I am doing intermittent fasting.. I do 16:8 5 days a week and try to do two 24 hours fasts per week.

I am 41 my son is moving out and heading to college. I am working on me now, getting and staying fit. No time like the present. I wouldn't mind losing 40 lbs but I am ok where I'm at. I would just like to be fit. I try to challenge myself with different activities and trying something new.
