    Wish I could say I'm 40 or 41 ... I'm 60 in a few weeks. :sad:

    I don't have huge losses to make ... for me it's more about loosing the acquired belly fat and feeling fitter and gaining some knowledgeable like minded friends.

    Hey Kids,

    Good stuff happening here as usual. Love reading the posts.

    Feeling a bit like a caged animal, since I'm in the " not really sore, yet not healthy enough to resume training" phase of injury rehab. The one thing I can do is swim, so I joined a masters swim class in hopes of improving my swim technique.

    I'm also getting to practice yoga twice a week, which I"m told is kind of funny to watch. :)

    Just looking to join now. 42 from central California and Im -5lbs into a 30lb goal. Can use all the support and motivation I can get.
    Does anyone use peloton? I’ve been working out at home with the app and love it but could use some tips or suggestions on how to maximize my calorie burn in under an hour a day. Is it best to focus on strength training or cardio?

    I too am in Central California (near Atwater)

    Hey friends. I wanna join the cool kids club! I’m 40+ and feeling it. I’m not able to lose weight as quickly as I have in the past. MFP suggests that I stay around 1200 calories for weightloss but my weight isn’t dropping as fast as it used to. If you have experienced this and have any advice, suggestions, or support, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hello everyone, I’d like to join “where the cool kids are”. I’m 42 and have a lot of weight to lose. Like many, I have stress in my life caused by situations I can’t control. I’m just getting started on a lifestyle change that has made me realize that changing my thinking and how I handle my emotions are just as important as eating healthy and making physical changes.

    Exactly what I'm dealing with - I cannot seem to lose more than .5-1 lb a week, it makes no difference if I'm super strict of cheat a bit. It has slowing been coming off, but I swear in my 20s & 30s I could drop 5 lbs in 2 weeks with little effort.

    “Brute Force Operator Series Alpha 2!” 60#!! Still a b!tch! LOL! I took about a 25 minute rest after MAX:30 today. Was the only way I’d have made it. Took that last set right to the end...though I didn’t have to break up any sets today. Gonna feel this for the rest of the day.
