Congratulations....Way to place yourself as a priority....Good luck with reaching your new goals...I'm sure you'll hit them.

Hi, I'm 48 years old and I like to run too along with many other outdoors things and other types of exercise. I'd love to work with you to help you reach your goals and I'd like help with reaching my goals....Looking to eating healthy and log my food everyday. I'm also planning to do more consistent strength training to…

Wow, congratulations! You should be so proud of yourself. You look fantastic. Thanks for sharing your story which helps to provide inspiration to others.

Chips/crackers -- anything salty are my trigger foods...So, I also can't eat just a few if there is a bag in the house....At least I'm aware of this type of behavior -- it's bad though if I go to a party and try to eat just a few....Can't stop!!! Ha.

My goals are to get to 20% body fat and to tone up. I'm working towards getting in the best shape possible by my 50th birthday (in 2016).

I've also done Insanity, T25 and P90X3...Trying to do more strength training now....along with cardio...

Definitely!!

I am in !! Thanks for starting this....I'm 48 and looking to lean up and tone up before my 50th....Thanks for helping encourage me....I need all the help I can get.....

Great job!! Keep going....

Hubby and I are staying in ..... bought some champagna, shrimp and cocktail sauce and some other snack foods....Hope can stay awake until midnight....LOL. Happy New Year !!! Got a good workout in earlier today too and will log my food.....

I did this today but had it written on my phone....Would love to hear others suggestions for best way to do that...Don't worry about what others think ---- it's about you commiting to your self. Way to go.

Please add me!!!

I'm in the same boat as you....Please add me!! ;)

Thanks for continuing this thread...I like the "If you always do what you've always done, you'll only get what you've always got."....Kind of like the Einstein quote, The definition of Insanity is continuing to do what you've always done expecting a different result....I'm really trying to approach this getting in shape…

I've done this program in the past. It's pretty good and fun....So, if you are looking to lose a little fat it can be effective for that. I agree with the strength training idea. However, I think you can't lose fat and build muscle at the same time...You definitely can benefit from a Turbo Fire workout series to get you…

Hi Jo!! Wow, I'm inspired by your strength and perserverance to not let something that tough hold you back. Please add me to your network as I'm also working to change my habits to get into the best shape of my life for my 50th birthday in 2016!!

I ran / walked (3 minute run, 1 minute walk) for an hour.

Great that you're seeing progress!! I have the same problem....I notice muscle definition in arms and legs but the stomach area is slow to change. Going to really focus on body fat composition and diet and exercise (including weight training) to start to convert from flab to tone...(hopefully). I naturally gain weight…

Wow, that's alot of weight to lose for your frame....I currently weigh in the same range and am about the same height but am trying to focus now on body fat percentage to improve my overall fitness. I figure it's more important for me to use measurements like body fat % and body measurements to determine my effectiveness…

I get like this too sometimes....I'm sort of where you are....Pretty good shape, within 10 lbs of my goal weight, etc. I'm thinking about signing up for a charity run...maybe sponsoring someone who has cancer or some other kind of illness might give you motivation to train harder? Good luck...

Hi all. I'm 5'4" Highest weight: 140 Current weight: 135 Goal weight: 130 ish Want to tone up and feel good.

Please add me....I'm definitely in for fun and motivation and living life to the fullest!

Keep logging my food on MFP. Eat to live and in order to live an active life. Continue to tone up and lose the love handles around my middle by strength training and cardio 5-6 days per week. Graduate in August 2015 in my Master's Degree program.

I'm late 40 something but am also working to lose 10 pounds...Please add me as a friend.

Thanks for continuing this thread!! I am also continuing to think about this whole concept of a mantra and keep thinking about the "give yourself oxygen first" life from when they share emergency procedures on airplanes. I think this is so true that you have to take care of yourself first in order to help anyone else in…

beachgod, sounds like you have some pretty lofty objectives....Maybe you should allow yourself to be human!! :)

Hi Bella31056, I'm 48 and am happy to join your friend network. Add me.

zyxst, this is hilarious!

So great that you were able to rise above that and realize that was not the direction you wanted to go....So, you are taking control of your life! Way to go.

Applesauce with fat free whipped cream! Yum, I need to get some.
