I'm 39 and half way through my journey, I still have 3 stone to lose, according to fitbit my resting HR is 58bpm which makes me feel fantastic, I'm excited to see how lower it will go the more weight i lose and the healthier i get.

Depends on my stress levels. Last month is a good example, where I started working on a tough project with long work hours. In normal circumstances it's in the high 50s to low 60s. The toughest parts of the project are done so my stress levels are slowly going down. I will hopefully be done in a few days and things will go back to normal. Funny how there was an initial blip of relief right before starting the project (shows in the graph) when the client approached me with it. The thought of extra income lowered my stress levels for a day or two. Resting heart rate is so interesting to watch for so many reasons.

When I wake up, it's high 50s (57-59) and I'm far from healthy and/or athletic.

Being healthy does not only means having a certain weight or able to lift certain amount of weight or whatever. Being healthy means making healthy choices. Being healthy means eating a lot better nutritionally than whatever you were eating previously.. being healthy means incorporating a little workout in your routine.. being healthy means getting your heart rate a little up during the workout.. so are you like cent percent sure you are absolutely far away from healthy????
Edit: just saw you have lost 172lbs..and OMG OMG OMG if that is true then you must be greatly underestimating yourself!

According to my fitbit low 60's 3 weeks out of the month and climbs to around 70 during shark week or if I'm getting sick.

I am 72 years old and today in the morning my wt. was 102.4lb (4 feet 11 inches). I am very active and obviously not obese, fat or overweight. My HR s usually between the high 60s and mid 70s, and my doctor considers that a great range, and I feel good.
I don't have a HR monitor so I don't test my resting HR all the time. Enough with the numbers; I am already counting calories and macros.

OHHHH well that probably explains it (have to love these forums!)! I was sick AND stressed in June which probably caused my resting heart rate to increase! (Going from a range of high forties sometimes low 50's - to, high 50s sometimes low 60's). My exercise routine had remained pretty constant.

My resting bpm is decreasing again now. I'm 38 so I covet that high forty range as it makes me BOSS (ahem) I mean "athlete" status. Lol

Mid to high 50's, but I'm no athlete. Probably pretty fit for my peer group, though. I don't think I've ever seen it higher than the 70's.

spikeyhair

I'm 50 and the only exercise I get is work. I clean for 6-10 hrs per day. I have a pacemaker ( electrical system problem, no mechanical heart issues) so my heart rate is set to not go below 60. 40 lbs lighter now, blood pressure is controlled. Resting heart rate is in the 60s, working it gets into the 80s-90s. Still have a ways to go before I consider myself healthy.

Funny...you all have heart rates in the 40's. When I went to the hospital with a heart rate of 40 they parked the crash cart next to my bed!

I'm 32, resting HR is high 40s to low 50s (48 - 52). It was in the high 60s and sometimes higher this time last year.

60-70
I think mines higher cos I'm small and the blood rushes around quicker. Like a mouse's heartbeat

rainbow198

Mine is in the high 40's. I'm very active.

It use to be in the high 90's 4 years and 80 extra pounds ago.

Mine is around 61/62 (at least according to my Fitbit) it did show up around 55 this morning not sure if that was a fluke or just a wonky reading.

Today it's low 60s. When I started last May I had tachycardia(RHR>100) that's what got me started. As I lost weight it started slowing down. I did take a calcium channel blocker for a while but as I lost weight I didn't need it.

Meds can influence it greatly I used to take a beta blocker for BP, my RHR was always 55. Till I started feeling funny it was 34 in the ER. When it was 55 I was not in good condition totally the meds.
