Good morning all. I have decided to add collagen powder in my coffee/ tea to go along with my partial keto food. I heard collagen is good for skin, hair and joints. I now just log my food and not my exercise to stay under goals. Have a Great Tuesday!1

Can I just say that over 60 every day is a new adventure?! LOL (and I don't mean that necessarily in a good way either). sigh.

I hear ya Karl. Before I retired, I was very aprehensive. For the last 45 years, I knew nothing but work. Now, 3 months later...loving it. First thing I did was fire MFP back up to drop some extra weight and it has definitely enhanced my enjoyment of retirement.2 -

I’ve had a years retirement and have to go back to work now(need more$$$) not looking forward to it at all. Retirement was fantastic. I only hope it helps me lose weight but I don’t think it will make any difference. Have a great day folks. Watch the calories and try and fit in some exercise. I did a 30 min walk today. 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️5

Good Morning from Rainy texas. How often can I say that? As far as retirement, well, that's a few years off unless someone fixes the US health insurance system which I don't think will happen anytime soon. My older brother just became eligible this year and so far he says it is fantastic (medicare). The other thing I do NOT want to happen is that I spend all my time going to various "appts" and such.3

Your brother is correct! The day I was eligible for Medicare was the day I retired! Best medical coverage ever!0 -

Hi all,I just found this site and hope I can join you all. I haven’t figured out how to add friends as yet. I started MFP 11 days ago and am trying OMAD. So far things seem to be going well. Reading lots to try to inspire me during these early days and watching videos and success stories too.2

I’m planning on not buying anything new at all for a good while. I have so many various sizes to get through before I can even think about wonderful new clothes. I am envious as you must be in site of your goal. Way to go.
Anyone else doing any prep for summer weather cloths in combo with [hopefully] weight loss? I've bought some new items, I had to decide between "fits if I don't accidently shrink it", vs, "could almost be considered too big, but now I can allow it to be in the dryer too long". It takes me extra planning because much of the women's clothes is made to fit a 20 year old figure. Shopping for 60+ is more limited, in my experience. [For men, I don't think it is as much of a difference on the shape between age groups. Size yes, shape no.]

I already have a background at my age of knowing how to count calories. Now, choosing to do so or not, that is another matter. But anyway, I am getting along fine with tracking my food (counting calories), so while making the choices of foods needs some concentration, I do fine with recording. Hey, that's one of the benefits of having been around for so many decades. ("Glass half full"). Anyone else have a diet skill that they already have figured out at their 60+ age?1

To add friends on MFP on the desktop app:
1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page.
Formerly, there was an option to send a message along with the request. That doesn't work any longer. Regardless, I recommend sending a introductory note after they add you. Mention the thread where you found them. some common interests or goals, etc.
I will send you a friend request.2 -
Reading all the retirement posts! I'm still working, just as a casual. But they seem to need me a lot. I may have several days off, then work several days in a row. Medical field. I told them no night shifts, no standby ER call, and it has been wonderful to almost call the shots of when I will work, and when I don't want to. For the first time ever, if I want to visit family, I can go without "begging" for vacation time. Love it, but also glad they still keep me on staff so I can supplement my income. And yes, loving Medicare!!
My birthday was a few days ago, and most of the staff were surprised at my age. (67). Guess my weight keeps the wrinkles filled out, hahaha. Have lost quite a bit of weight but restarted my ticker because I was not kind to my health in this last pandemic year, and I want to be honest with myself as I try to keep healthy!
AnnPT77 love your flower pics. I tried to grow the checkered Fritillaria where I live, but it was just too cold. Looking forward to garden flowers, and wildflowers when they come.
I enjoy everyone's posts, and glad to see this thread active and rolling on!
