Hey all, I'm 51, looking for inspiration and motivation. I've had 4 operations on my knee and 2 on my spine over the past 10 years. As a result, I've gone from fit at 40 to overweight at 50. I only weighed this much once before after I had my daughter at 31, and lost the weight with swimming and diet. I'm due to finally have a knee replacement, which I want to be a success as it is a huge operation, and the key is to be as light and strong as possible for the surgery. I've recently gotten back into the pool, and am swimming again, building up my strength doing laps of freestyle (can't do breaststroke as it hurts the knee). It's a horrible feeling when you realise little things, like picking something off the floor is a major effort, especially having been very fit at 40. I also have psoriatic arthritis which is an autoimmune condition, related to psoriasis, which I only get a teensy bit, but my joints are affected. There is a link between being overweight and having inflammation, so I am working to get the weight right down.8

I'm 29, does that count lol
Count for what?
Middle age? I know it's really cool and groovy to be middle age (see all those modern words I used?) Join us if you like. But I kind of think if you're young enough to still have to show your ID to buy beer.... not quite middle age. But maybe I'm just old and grumpy.
HEY!
You kids get AWAY from there!
Yup this 48 year old is with you, both on the you're not middle aged get outta here and very much on the old and grumpy part. Just had a row with one of our Directors here in work, fecker got me at the wrong time

Feckin Brits are turning me into an alci. Brexit is causing me SO much grief (work in logistics). I just want to go home and drink wine. 5 more hours to go....

Welcome! I think you're in good company with the stranded at home pounds. I've got around 20 more of those myself.
Good luck!1 -

Hi all
I'm counting down to 44 this spring and got off track this past year with some health problems. So I've dusted off my account to see what I can do about it while I'm getting the health end sorted out.1 -

Hope you're all having a fab weekend, feel free to add me if you haven't already 😊2 -

Down 3.5 lbs for the month, which I will take. The run this morning just hurt. I wasn't in the mood for it, but I knew I'd be glad I did it when I was back. And I am. The snow started to come down in my last mile and I am burrowing in for the day. How's everyone's Sunday?2

Hello! Turning 49 this year...I’m in THE WORST shape of my life, but have the BEST mental attitude of my life! I’m SO motivated...looking for other likeminded people to motivate and BE motivated by!
MFP is an amazing tool.

Check it out..add me, I love new perspectives and helpful input! I’ll always provide the same!
Cheers!5 -

Well... Are you?
Did you get the letter from AARP yet?
As for me, I'm just glad we're not in medieval times. THOSE middle ages were MURDER.2 -
Happy Monday and Happy new month everyone!
Hopefully our last month in lockdown. Highlight of my weekend was a walk to the supermarket. We can only stay within 5k from our house (unless you're going to - essential - work) so weekends are dragging a bit lately.2 -
Hi everyone... this past month, I didnt lose any weight ( but thankfully didnt gain any either!!) I realised that was eating at my maintenance and after figuring out exactly what my deficit was supposed to be I lost a lb... I hope I can stick to this...my 6 yr old has leftovers and in my hunger with all the housework and homeschool juggling, I would grab at her scraps and it just messed me up big time.3
