Looking for "pals" over age 60, please
This is not my first rodeo. I lost 65 lbs. on MFP 12 years ago, but I have slowly and surely gained it all back, thanks to a bad heart, bad knees, and raging arthritis. Finding it hard to lose weight now because of health issues and age. Looking for friends who've "been there, done that, still doing it". :) Thank you.

Are you prepared for obstacles
What are the things that have sidetracked or stalled your progress before? How can we overcome them this time? I used to be a slave to the scale. If I woke up and the scale didn't read what I want..I would get back in bed and probably order unhealthy food. And then the next day I'd be so guilty that I didn't work out and…

Make fitness/working out a non negotiable!

Push up board
Purchased something on Amazon yesterday. Foldable pushup board that allows push-ups from multiple angles to target various muscle groups. I'll be doing push-ups in my cube all day. Might purchase another for the house and leave this one here. Although it folds and travels well. I tried to post the pic but it's not showing.
