I stopped using MFP, started eating with abandon, gained weight, so now I’m back! I recently turned 45, am married with one teenager, and have about 20 lbs to lose. Walking outdoors is my favorite physical activity, so getting enough exercise this MN winter has been a challenge (my snow-loving dog motivates me as much as…

I think I sent/accepted friend requests to everyone. Thanks!

Yeah, same issue ever since the update in early January. I've reinstalled the MFP app a few times on my Windows phone but getting fed up!

Back to 30 degrees in my part of Minnesota. Feels like a heat wave!!

Hi all, I turn 40 in six weeks and just joined this group. I've been a MFP regular for 2 years and have lost about 25 pounds. I'm 5'4" and my starting weight was about 162 and I'm about 136 now. I'd like to lose another 5 lbs or so and/or decrease percent body fat. I'm married with one son (6th grade) and work in a natural…

I'm also hoping to be fabulous in my 40s, and I'm getting there. I turn 40 in about a month and have used MFP for the last two years. MFP has been a great tool -- I log my food and exercise almost every day, and it's motivating to see what my "pals" are doing to be healthier. Welcome & feel free to add me as a friend.

bump for later...

Age: 39 (as of last week) Height: 5' 4" Start Weight: 161 Current Weight: 138.5 Goal Weight: low 130s

Mixing things up a bit this week. Did gym on Monday & ran a bit on the treadmill again. This morning I did 30 Day Shred & did much better than the last time I did it almost 6 months ago. More gardening (weeding) tomorrow at work -- at least it will be a little cooler. Cheryl - sorry to hear about your neighbors. Noelle -…

Ooops re: my last post -- Noelle not Nicole, I think autocorrect got me. :blushing: Friday workout done. About an hour on the elliptical. Hoping to get a walk in this evening too. My scale finally moved down yesterday, but I don't trust the number until it sticks for a few days. Happy weekend all! Keep chugging ......

So made it to the gym today. Decided to give the treadmill a try since the arc trainer is causing hip soreness. I walked mostly but did up the speed a few times so that I was jogging. :bigsmile: I did some arm weights beforehand too -- have I mentioned how much I dislike overhead presses!?! @Nicole -- the salt water quote…

Tuesday cardio: about a 45 min, ~3 mile neighborhood walk with our dog. I'm dragging this week with a case of the grumps, so had to kick myself out the door! Feeling better now. :tongue:

Did my Thursday cardio this morning. Have a great day everyone & keep cool! :flowerforyou:

Wednesday exercises (gym day). Here's a typical workout for me, but skipped hip adductor/abductor today. Today was 12 reps, 2 sets each of: - lat pulldown, 65 lbs - overhead press, 50 lbs (ugh! jell-o arms) - biceps curl, 35 lbs - that back of the arm thingy?, 85 lbs - pec fly, 50 lbs (went up today from 35) - abs, 65 lbs…

Hey all! Liz here from Minnesota. Glad to see some familiar pals (thanks for the invite Jackie!) & looking forward to meeting other MFP'ers. I'm married with a 10 yr old son, plus a golden retriever & cat. I work 20 hrs a week in natural resources, so I get to be active at work frequently. I've lost about 18 lbs since…

Bump

Congratulations & wonderful post!

Sounds like we have a bit in common. I'm 38, married, mom of one (he's almost 10). I live on the south side of the Twin Cities and love to be outside -- gardening, walking, etc. I grew up riding horses but haven't had one for a number of years (can't seem to give up my saddle, though). I'm also 5'4" with a husband who…

On the south side of the TC in Burnsville!

Thank you for posting this

Thanks, needed to read this as I struggle through a plateau :smile:

Feel free to add me, a fellow chocoholic :)

37 working mom here with 25-30 lbs to lose! Fairly new to MFP too. Feel free to friend me!

My husband goes there. What do you think of it? I'm thinking about joining...
