As a 40-something woman, I gained some weight recently. I was trying to find some inspiration and tips online, but I got completely bombarded by coaches, programmes, weight-loss medication and toxic positivity. I don’t want that! I want to have a healthy mindset, lose weight because it’s good for my body and me, have a healthy happy lifestyle, grow old with a body that can still walk, swim, take a hike, cycle. That’s why I am starting this community, so we can motivate ourselves and each other. I want us to have slighter mind and a lighter body that comes from that place! Feel free to share your thoughts! Why are you here? What are you hoping to get out of it? And here’s something more about me: I am Dutch but recently moved to Spain. I’m a remote worker, Fulltime project manager. I am single, have lots of friends, travel a lot. Foodie, but luckily I love to stay active as well - I combine walking, yoga, Pilates with HIIT and lifting weights. With love, An

I want to see food as that: a nourishment to my body. Something I want my body to have, to stay healthy and happy. Does it resonate with you?
