Hi there, I will be turning 50 in 2017 as well! I want to reach that age being the healthiest I've been in 20 years. Good luck to you in reaching your goals, we can get there one day at a time

Hi, 49yrs old. Been thru the usual good and bad, I'm on an up-streak right now and would like a little motivational help to keep it going, add me....

Married 28 years in September, time sure flies .....feel free to add me

I love butternut squash........bump for all the great recipies!

Aquafit then head to the gym for some lifting

I love these replies! Very helpful to a common issue. It's difficult to find the right balance of nutrition and exercise, it's a struggle to find a consistency, some days are good and some not so good. I guess when you find something that works well for you then stick with it. Congrats on the weight loss.....stay healthy…

Hi, I had knee surgery on September 10th to replace a torn ACL and repair meniscus. I first injured my knee a year ago but had to wait this long for the surgery. I have relied heavily on cycling and aquafit both post injury and post surgery. Have you talked to a dr or physiotherapist about these two options? I know at…

I too reached that obsessed phase, I can't imagine not logging - it would be total chaos lol! I'll send you a friend request :)

I agree with roanoke, I'm 47 and honestly, with hard work you can achieve that feeling of awesomeness, hang in there.

Hi, I'm living in the Calgary area and I'm originally from Kamloops BC. Add me if u like, I'm a firm believer in this MFP community :)

Hi Keith, welcome. I log Daily and like to motivate and be motivated, good luck with your journey, I'll send a friend request.

I have surgery scheduled for September to reconstruct a torn ligament in my knee (ACL). So I'm working hard to gain muscle, strength and lose weight before hand because I know the rehab will be awfully long. I love aquasize! Nothing hurts in the water.

Hi Faye, we can support each other, having a cheering squad can make all the difference on this journey.

Sounds like there's a lot of motivated and inspirational people on this thread. I log in daily and enjoy giving and getting comments on updates. Feel free to add me :)

Hi, Colleen here. I'm just south of Calgary in Okotoks :)

You can add me :). I log daily and believe here on MFP the motivation and support is exceptional, always give and take.

hi, welcome to the group, friend request sent :)

"Wake up, kick *kitten*, repeat"

I tore my ACL back in November and have been limited with my workouts as well. So I tried aquasize and have had great success, and fun with it. I also cycle and do body weight exercises such as lunges and squats. I haven't found a DVD specific to people with knee injuries tho. Too bad, there are plenty of us. Good luck…

I'm envious, and equally happy for you! You look awesome, great achievement :smile:

I'd like to be in if there's room

I love popcorn and hummus. Just take a piece of salty popcorn and dip it right in, yum.

Great to see so many Canadians! I'm from BC interior and now enjoying life in Alberta. I've been using MFP to track my eating and exercise, I'll admit I'm hooked.

I thought back to when I was most comfortable and happy with my weight, fitting into a size medium is my aim.

I hear ya! I'll cheer for u if u cheer for me. Keep going, you can do it!:smile:
