Greetings from another Newb

[Earenthorn]

Greetings All!

I, too, am a 47-yo soon to be 48.  I looked in the mirror last week and realized that, in fact, I don't quite look like I do in my wedding photos.  Hmmm.  Bummer.  I have small children that are growing and increasingly asking me to do more physical things that I can't keep up with.  Finally, my youngest will be finished with school about the time I plan to retire.  At this rate, I am afraid that I will not be there for them.  I am almost 100lbs overweight, sit all of the time, and have very little energy or drive.  I came upon this site looking for comic book stuff--isnt that funny? I am inspired by the stories here and hope to be as successful as others.

Cheers,

Earenthorn

Welcome Earenthorn! I agree. My 47-year-old self bears almost no resemblance to my self of  25 years ago. I think I might like to change that! LOL I've been on NF for two or three weeks and love it. I also joined the NF Academy just to have the structure and work on my mindset. I want to lose about 80 lbs, gain muscle, and maintain flexibility so I enter old age fitter than I was 25 years ago.

 

I'm sorry it took so long for anyone to greet you! Normally, folks here are super friendly and encouraging. Maybe just the Easter week lead-up/spring break had people busy? I dunno, but I'm here now! I'm still getting used to the navigation around here... it's a little confusing... but if I can help in any way, let me know. If I don't know the answer, I'll find someone who does.

 

Much luck to you!

Welcome. Love it when gals in the forties decide to get fit and strong! Do you have some goals to start you on your journey?
