I asked to join earlier today then just saw this thread lol... See you over there... Thanks for setting this up 😁👍

I'm 49 and wanting to re lose the remaining 22lbs of the 40 I gained after a serious knee injury (I know it didn't have to be like that but I was miserable and comfort ate). I'm cleaning up my diet (meals, are fine but changing how I snack) and getting into major exercise again (but having to work around knee as it can't…

Thanks everyone. Hopefully have sent a friend request or pm to everyone :-)

Will add you both. I'm [edited by MFP mods] Just got my fitbit yesterday evening and love it already

I'm reading The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore :smiley:

Hiya please add me. I'm 46 and starting over now. Really thought I'd lost for good in 2011 and was super fit. Then a horrible knee injury, inflicted on me by an idiot in an exercise class, changed everything. Struggled to cope now I can't do intense impact heavy exercise which I loved. Now feeling positive and ready to get…

I'll send you a request. I've struggled with anxiety and depression before. In 2011 I was at rock bottom, couldn't sleep, couldn't think straight and 4 stone overweight. With the encouragement if the best GP I've ever known starting to dust exercise and eat well totally changed that. Saw benefits within a few short weeks…

I had great results with kettlebells, major fat loss and got a great shape, big gains in endurance and decent strength gain, plus I loved the functional aspect of the movements and how they translate to real world activities e.g. hauling heaving bags, lifting toddlers on one side etc. I love bells and am about to dust mine…

Avoided it so far but probably because my dog can look quite intimidatingly athletic lol (she's a total sweetie). Sorry this happened to you!

Great thread.....I have exactly the same issue...able to handle pretty heavy kettlebells etc but push up / pull up NOT happening!

Add me too ladies :-)

Me too - back and would love some like minded friends :-)

Hi I'm Ali, 46, I live in Scotland and am mum to two young boys. After years stuck behind a desk I'm now a dog walker and have my own super energetic 2 year old Vizsla puppy. I am getting back to formal training after a serious knee injury a couple of years ago. I love kettlebells, Body Combat and yoga. Looking forward to…

I'm re-reading Jingo by Terry Pratchett's for the umpteenth time :smiley:

Me too....restarting after a serious knee injury and could use some motivating friends

Fitnessblender yeah :-)

:D

Lovely to hear about and see your dogs (hi Merlin you are such a cutie :-) ). Xxxx

Awww I'm so sorry - must be heartbreaker :-( and thanks my V pup is so great - total cheeky madam at times but so loving and we adore her. Xxx

Babybellyfat and mjcb - fantastic! Lovely dogs. I can't quote and reply all of a sudden - something's gone awry on the links :-)

Thanks - impressive. We've not really had our girl off lead yet.....been advised to wait by our trainer as she is particularly wizzy even by viz standards. We have her on a 10 metre line and she runs rings around us :-) Fabulous dogs

I'm restarting after a long lay off with injury today too...been a serious exerciser in the past. Not done T25 but dabbled with Insanity - Shaun T is great :-)

Hiya - you can do it! I'm starting again today too.....had 18 months off after a bad knee injury. I now have to re-lose the 3 stone I lost 5 years ago. I love Shaun T - don't have T25 but want it. Not sure if my knee can take the impact anymore though :-( I'll send you a friend request - would love to share the journey.…

Hiya me too - I got a major knee injury due to an idiot at a kettlebells class about 7 weeks ago who ran right behind me and took my leg out from under me while I was doing a backward lunge. It is hell - I feel for you. " eat less"...hmmmfffpp true but kinda misses the point if you have been a regular exerciser eh!? Upper…

well said OP :)

Hiya I'm looking to re-lose some - 10lbs maybe - then a bit more :) would love to friend....

Me! Will FR you!:smile:

Beats kicking my own *kitten* - will FR you!

Hiya don't know the hellrunner, sorry. Tough Mudder website and photos give a good sense of what it is all about :)

^^^^^ agree - you look great.....and NICE dress too ;)
