    For some reason I decided to pick up weekend hiking/walking this summer.

    We did 11.5 km on Saturday, 14.5 km on Sunday!

    Today is a cardio day - I skipped my weights on Monday b/c my hip flexors were sore from the long walks. I should not skip weights, but I did. I will do ‘em on Friday.

    Hi, 42 with 30-40 lbs to lose. I'm thankful it's not 100 lbs but at this point it feels like it might as well be. It seems losing weight is def getting harder with age :)

    Impressive indeed! I am wannabe ironman, but have run a few marathons. I am trying to get back into the running zone, but there seems to be many issues holding me back. I blame everything on aging and menopause. :tongue:

    47 year old here. I've been logging for around 3 months - 25 pounds lost so far. I'm aiming for another 7 or so.

    I went bouldering yesterday. My arms may start working again later today... I've exercised for 6 days on the trot, so today will be a rest day.

    Welcome, @LisaLubarsky88 . Good to have another endurance junkie in the group. :)

    @sdereski, Nothing like a little multisport training to cure your running blues, lol. It has been shown to delay signs of aging, but I can't speak to the impact on menopause. ;)

    Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend, at least those of us in the US.

    I am grateful that God is blessing me with self control and knowledge of what to do to lose 2lbs weekly. I am struggling to keep my carb intake low, but I will keep working on that. I am not rushing weight loss like I have done in the past. For me slow and steady is working. I am focused on portion control, eating in moderation, 15 minutes of cardio (I will gradually increase), but most importantly keeping my mind focused on living an obedient life to God and strengthening my relationship with Jesus Christ.

    A few months from 41 so really excited I found this group. I've been a member of MFP for a long time but I'm finally starting to take my health a fitness seriously. Looking forward to being a part.
