I am 42 and in week two of trying to make myself accountable. I have not started exercising yet but I have all the tools that I need to do so. I am focusing on the food for now. One thing at a time. I plan to start exercising this weekend. I have to try to stop my lazy ways and just do it! LOL Easier said than done, I know. One can always hope! ;D0

Would love to have the support of 40+ club.. Weight loss is a lot different at 40 compared with 20 something.0

I am in better shape now than when I was 20 something :-)0

I'm 42. I have been working for a year to loose weight -up and down- up and down. My metabolism is shot. My hormones are being worked on...I have hypothyroidism. 2 kids and a super thin husband, who by the way can eat a gallon of ice cream a night and not gain an ounce.
I completed one round of\ Insanity.
My goal is to lose 4 lbs (not water weight) by February 1. (which for me who loses ounces with diet and exercise is a milestone).0 -
Wow! You are really kicking butt in your journey! It must feel incredible. Congrats! I have over 100 to lose too. Sigh...0

Holy smokes - I was away from the board yesterday and I can't believe what I missed.
Welcome to all the newcomers. Chris - this name was a hit - so many 40+ cool kids out there. :happy:
I am having difficulty keeping people straight. It will take me a while to get to know you all.
Marathon training has started for me again, and although I exercise almost daily, my body aches. I woke up this morning and I thought, "get used to it - this is how you are going to feel for the next 3 1/2 months!".
Some nights I do both strength training and running - last night was one of them. My long run for this weekend is 10 miles - yikes! It may be a run/walk at this point, but I'll get the miles in. Hope the weather cooperates!! I don't want to run in the bitter cold or blowing snow. :sad:
Hat's off to the individual who did 100 burpees! Those are killers and I struggle to do 20.
To the person talking about chin ups - I have been strength training since May and I am no closer to doing one than I was in May. We have made it a goal to work on that each day we strength train. I think I need to lose at least 30 lbs to be able to lift myself and that is not going to happen in this lifetime. :laugh:
Better get back to work - meeting time soon.
have a great day all. :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi everyone! Great to see all the posts....WOW!!!
Umpire57 good to see you....last year sometime I ran across your wt loss success story on one of those evenings I was reading on MFP to keep myself from eating something I would regret later. It was very inspirational, especially the part where the coach who hadn't seen you in a year didn't know it was you and the smile that brought to your face when he DID recognize you! Welcome to Cool Kids! Good luck with your goals.
Swiss, Alf, Chris, Sedereski, LadyPersia: Good to hear from all of you founders. Alf thanks for the wt lifting info.
Hi to everyone new! Sounds like we've got a lot of fun and motivated people out there. Good Luck with this weeks goals!:flowerforyou:0 -

In P90X2 there is this evil thing called the Mule Kick Burpee.
Start Standing
Go Down and Kick feet up in the air like a mule kick to Plank
Do a pushup
In Plank - Right Knee to RIght Elbow then a pushup
Still in Plank Left Knee to Left Elbow then a pushup
Jump to hands and then jump straight up
Repeat
I did 5 and thought I was dying :-)
Thanks for the words of encouragement crewellademel.0 -

LadyPersia, no word from Sing. :sad: I want to stay optimistic but my gut tells me something bad happened to him. I dont think he would have left us hangind like this. How are you doing?
Ok, gotta go, too little time today at work...take care!!! :flowerforyou:
BTW, got my body fat tested yesterday by a coworker who is an exercise physiologist. 19.21% not bad for a 48 yr old woman!! hee hee I was afraid I was "skinny fat"...so I feel more comfortable now. :drinker:0 -
I'd like to join too. I just turned 40 in November. Working out has never been a thing for me until recently. I'm currently on week 4 of the Couch to 5K program and also doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred (day 5). I'd like to lose 15 pounds.

I'm in - turn 41 in 3 months. Currently doing the Insanity workout and in week 5 of the 100 push-up challenge.0

Stopping in to say hi, and that I'm still around. I've run 3 more 5ks since last being on here, and am signed up for my first half in May! Yikes!!!
Bad news for me is that my trainer left, and I've had to start with a different trainer. The workouts are completely DIFFERENT, so I feel a bit discombobulated at the moment, hoping I don't lose ground.
Also, getting ready to head to Sierra Leone Africa in March to visit my daughter in the Peace Corps!
Alf, congrats on the BF%!!! That's awesome! Sorry to hear that Sing is missing. Sure hope he's okay.0
