I'm new to the group and find that I share a lot of the same problems as everyone else. Weight loss is a lot harder after 40.

I'm looking for community / support / motivation partners to keep my fitness optempo high.

My goal right now is to make working out the highest priority for 1 month where I work out every day no matter in order to attain a behavioral change.

I want to drop between 15 to 30 pounds over the next 6 months in fat.

I would be euphoric if I could rep over 300 by the end of the year in squats (another goal).

    I am around 207lbs. right now, and have done 290lbs squats. I was more excited about doing 3 sets of 7 dips for the first time in forever (without a negative weight) last week. Feel free to add me if you want.

    Hey everybody. Losing weight in your mid 40s is not so easy. I'm getting back to MFP after a brief hiatus. Previously lost 40+ (May-Nov) but have plateaued around 205 and looking to find my groove again. I completed my first mini triathlon last summer and plan several more this season better prepared and with better equipment. They are addictive and expensive! Also have a stretch goal of a half marathon at the end of April. Feel free to add me.

    Hi all, rejoined MFP recently, looking to lose 5kg and keep it off permanently. Could do with mutual support

    I like your goal of one month. I find that for me setting microgoals is really the best approach. I might have a day goal or week goal or month goal...and that is more effective for me than looking at the year goal, which can feel overwhelming!
