47 (almost 48) and taking advantage of my new job this year which allows me to work remotely by getting in more time working out and getting more healthy. 3 pounds from my preliminary goal. I would love to lose another 10+ after that.
With both of my planned races cancelled this spring, I've cut way back on coached workouts during May as an early "mid season" break. This gave me more free time to spend with my son, who spent a month living with us before heading to his summer job. We got to do some fishing and turkey hunting together which was a lot of fun.
I'm now doing more cycling and running to ramp up again. I just hope I remember how to put on my wetsuit and swim.
Wow when this thread was first started in 2012 I was just turning 40. Now I'm 48 so inching toward the end of this decade. This is the decade where I gained a ton of weight, lost a bunch, and got fit - again. Rediscovered a love of running during this crazy stay at home time. I ran a virtual 5K to recognize Memorial Day and now I am trying to set new goals. Not sure where to go from here but I hope to be in great health mentally and physically by my 50th.

I will be turning 49 shortly too. Wanting to go into my 50s strong!
Not going to lie, I'm spiraling as I have lost motivation and I'm bored with the gym still closed.
I've NEVER EVER been motivated working out at home.
Feel like my power has left me
Sorry for the rant.
