Good morning all! Cool group. This age is TOUGH. We're launching our kids, burying our parents, fighting ageism and dealing with one crazy world.
Fortunately, we're also wise, resilient, experienced and fun...and we've got each other!5 -
Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians here! 🍁 (Didn't have a Canadian flag emoji, so that maple leaf will have to do.) 😁
Rolled over the calendar to July this morning and read this quote -- "The best is yet to be." - Robert Browning
Here's hoping that is true for the second half of 2020!0 -

Go to the top of this page. You will see a grayed out star on the upper right. Click on the star and it will turn yellow. Now it is bookmarked for you.
When you come back to the community page, click on the star on the upper far right - directly across from the Message Boards header. That will show you your bookmarked pages. Just follow the links from there.

And then ask questions as needed. Most people here are glad to share their knowledge and experiences.

Brand new here, at least to Premium, have to make some life changes. I've been off and on with my fitness, I like having too much fun.
So figured I'd try something new, be a little vulnerable...which is not my style, and seek out motivation. I've got decent muscle mass (180lbs), but not so great fat mass (73lbs), so this guy's got some work to put in. I am restricted to 1550 cal, 90g carbs, 105g protein, ill be darned if the doc didn't tell me how many g for fat...80g seems high. Hit me up share your thoughts!1 -
I'm not sure how to follow a group but looking for more friends to help motivate me. In VA here, add me if you're looking for the same😉1

I’m seeing all these young athletic people on here, killing it at the gym, burning innumerable calories for hours at a time... I’m over here logging a 30 minute walk or workout on the Wii Fit whenever I can squeeze in a few minutes of personal time for myself, lol... 🤦🏼♀️5

LOL There are more of us like you (and me) in here then like them...1

So true, we are doing the best we can, right (honesty, I could do better) that's why I have you all! To help be motivated and work towards making us all a better version of ourselves!!1

I’ve tried just about every diet out there. I recently quit my first time trying Keto (even though I dropped 6 pounds the first 10 days). I just couldn’t handle all the fat/cholesterol. Every time, I always come back to the simple and basic counting calories with exercising. It’s the only thing I’ve ever stuck with that actually works. I’m looking for accountability/support friends who are close to my age with similar backgrounds and goals. I’d like to lose my age in pounds. Anyone else?

I totally understand. I think I may be on that same crazy cycle..... just want something that works long term without the craziness!1
