43 and need new motivators

What are your goals? What plans do you have to meet your goals?

....joins in at an adjoining table while petting a random dog.....

43 here - I dabble in mfp - and probably could use some friends for motivation - accountability and a pick me up now and again. Add me.

Perhaps you need to build in rest days? Plan out three kb days a week...change it up or rest the other four?

Me too!

There's a star at the upper right hand corner - if you click on it - it will book mark the thread.

I find for me its more a habit.....I pour a drink while preparing supper. I pour a drink when I've finished mopping the floor and I'm relaxing while it dries. I pour a drink when I get home from work to unwind. I think I need a sub....tea perhaps. Its the ritual - tea is ritualistic. At least I hope it is - I find myself…

My plan for the month is to map out what days the local running track is free (I can obviously PAY - but I'm cheap so I prefer the free track) and make sure I hit it for at least 30 minutes when it is available. Walking for now - eventually work in some running and stair work. Also decided to aim for doing at least two…

I haven't heard of Noom - but I am a veteran user of MFP and when I remember to use it I like it a lot! I connect with my Garmin - which has its pros and cons - but has the motivation of a step counter if nothing else. Look forward to watching you hit your goals!

This has been on my mind for months and I finally decided this was the month! I'm in!

Me! 20lb goal. I need motivation to move during the winter months up north. I'm good about getting outside during the rest of the day - but when you leave in the dark and come home in the dark - motivation to be active pretty much is nil. I have a plan for the month and a few mini goals. I would love someone to check in…

I had been thinking of November 1st for a couple of weeks now...time to make it happen!!!! My goals for November - minimal spending, no alcohol and no snacking. What are your plans?

Hey there! New month - new goals. Do you have a plan? Or just looking for motivation and support?

Ha! I wish I could concur but my days fluctuate - some days I'm in the green - some in the red.

I've found the best strategy to ignore the munchies is to get out of the house. I usually come home and immediately put on my running shoes - I either struggle through a run if I'm feeling it or take the dogs for a long walk before coming home to make supper. I find not only does this make me hungry for dinner (not snacks)…

That usually means you over cooked them.

Cup of tea.

5'3" here. 147lb looking to get to at least 130 if not 120. I was 120 for almost all of my 30's. Hit 40 and the lbs crept up 5 at a time until I was over the 150 mark. I do have thyroid issues - but I feel they are under control for the most part. Logging food, making sure I get 10,000 steps at the least a day and putting…

....also your local ethnic grocery is usually cheaper for rice in bulk than the average grocery store. You may be carting home a 20lb bag of rice - but I guarantee it will be cheaper in the long run. Same goes for rice noodles, soba noodles, etc.

This is a complete fallacy. If you take the time to shop for a flat of protein (chicken, beef, what have you) preferably on sale and supplement with a bag of rice and a few bags of frozen veg (or fresh if its in season) you'll save money in the long run. Yes the initial outlay is a certain price - but divide it up by the…

Same here except a large to extra large in shirts.....our build must be different.

My coffee ritual involves an indulgence that I only every indulge in with my morning cuppa. It changes from week to week - but I don't ever indulge in it outside of that coffee ritual. Whatever you choose - make it special.

I'm In!

I'm game!

I've been eye balling fat tire bikes. I live in the land of 7 months of snow - so I think I could probably get use out of it year round if I put my mind to it. I walk - and I'm a wannabe runner.

Hi all! 43 looking to lose about 30 lbs. Currently at 148. I would love some new connections - add me! If you have garmin connect even better! Find me at Koetter74

I secretly cover the under desk elliptical also!

I've been reading along and you seem like a nice chatty consistent group - so I thought I'd say Hi! :smiley: I'm from the upper midwest - USA - near the Canadian border. Plugging along trying to lose about 30 pounds. As your title states - I start, I stop, I start, I stop = which is how I got from 130 to 148lb. Trying to…
