thanks! on my bday that year i said "40 is the new 28" ;) the funny thing is, even thru all that "crap" i was never a woe is me type and i still enjoyed my life. just looking back, i'm SOOO glad to be where i am. like, i'd never willingly do high school again either. LOL .. reading thru all these comments, it sounds like…

Ha!! Bro Science. Love it. :) I just learned what that is this week.

i think of 40 as that decade where things in my life have finally started to fall into place. i know myself better and i have learned what works and what doesn't work in my life. "that number" never scared me, and in all honesty my 30's weren't awesome. at 30 i got divorced, and then battled against over eating and…

During that time of the month or any time, I try to stock foods that I know will be a better choice if I choose to eath the WHOLE BAG, like carrots instead of chips. A whole bag of anything is usually not a good choice, but I figure each individual choice counts. I just have to force myself to make the best choice, as…

Hi there, Our current goals sounds similar. If you'd like to add me, we can probably help each other! :smile:

Has found her noobs and is no longer accepting new applicants. :) I would be happy to mentor between 3 and 5 people. I have been a member here for a few years, and even during times where I had met my fitness goal, I still use MFP to stay on track. I began my fitness journey at age 29 as a size 12. I am now 41 years old,…

i'm 40 as of this past summer, and have been going up and down in weight, losing the same 10 pounds over and over for years, finding myself in a good routine on and off .... i would tend to get bored with the same old thing, and i never had luck with "dieting". i find that i have the best results now (as i've gotten older)…

^^ I was going to reply with something along these lines, also... I have been thru a few life-changing, emotional, tumultuous relationship issues over the years, and along the way I discovered I have that tendency to focus more on working out and getting healthy when I'm down and depressed ... I use the exercise as a way…

i am considering this model... any complaints about how it's worn? do you wear it with a chest strap or around your arm or wrist?

i had been a huge promoter of jillian's 30 day shred for years, passing out copies to friends. recently realized i had done it to death, bored out of my mind with it, needed something new. my new fave is bob's beginner workout... LOVE it! knowing how hard bob is i opted for the beginner workout. it is TOUGH but do-able and…

i like my coffee like i like my man ... kinda hot :)

a good at-home strength training dvd is jillian michaels 30 day shred. it contains (3) 25-minute workouts. they are do-able at whatever fitness level you are at now. :)

this is THE topic i need the most help with... i am new to the calorie counting/fat burning world. i started at a weight of 130, trying to lose 15. i'm 5'3", i've lost 3 pounds so far. calories set at 1200, burning 250 per day (25 minutes circuit training 4-5 days per week). i need to figure out how to eat more and lose…

i just found this group and happen to be almost on track with your calendar. i'm on level 2 day 4 today, instead of day 10. my finish date (level 3 day 10) will be new years eve. :) good luck everyone!

love this :) good for you

hi there :) new to this group ... i'm a 30 day shred junkie. ;) doing the routine AGAIN ... Level 1 Day 9. i went thru the entire program about a year ago without dieting and wished i had better results. this time i've been using MFP for about a week now, and all together i'm down 3 pounds in about 3 weeks. looking forward…
