I turned 60 a cpl months ago and have noticed this year that my body just isn't able to do some of the things that I used to do. As a massage therapist, I also see a lot of overweight, and/or older people that can hardly move because they've spent their whole lives being sedentary..... I feel like if I don't get this weight off once and for all, that I'm destined for a very rough time in my 60s and 70s and beyond.
My mom is one of those people you're describing - she has just turned 60 and her mobility took a massive dive. It's one of the incentives I have to get things in order for myself. Thanks for sharing your story.

Great topic
Many know my Story/Methods…
I’ll tell it sometime again soon. But baby steps combined with a truly compelling Big Why. Walking 10K per day, tracked everything I have eaten since sept 2017.
Sept 1, 2021 will be my 3-year Maintenance anniversary and will mark 5 years 8 months on this journey.
It can be done. Really. AND I’m not hungry.

Yes yes and yes.
Wow u guys blow me away with your weight loss and health journeys. Thanks for sharing. Since the age of 15 i hve always been 10 kgs over weight. I lost 23kg since the birth of my bub 15mths ago and am 400grams away from my goal weight atm. I hve a history of restricting then over eating and turned to food for comfort my whole life! I worked out from my early 20's till now and yep im living proof that u cant outrun ur fork. Lol! Learning how to eat in moderation has been my proudest health accomplishment. My sister sent me a pic of her banging body the other day from taking these diet cookies now the old Donna would of got sucked into it as a quick fix and i must admit for a second i was tempted. Lol. But i thought no u hve come so far just stay patient and determined and u will get there. So guys just like u all im taking the long but rewarding road!!! Xox7 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, and I have increased freggies!
Kitchen Closed? Yes
Going "nuts" with nuts today? No (3 days-free )
(I go "nuts" with nuts most times, trying to continue a good habit this month. Counting the number of "nuts" free days.) I am still learning a lot about myself in this area!
Lots of freggies today!
Pass day 1/3 (this is for accountability to myself and my records).
BTW, I have been in maintenance since 2010.
I have come to accept the fact that this is my life style. That I will always need to be accountable to the UAC 3 simple rules. (These rules are applicable to my finances if I want to stay out of debt and build resources!)
I like the way I feel and I want to keep it that way especially as I grow older and see people my age struggling with weight.
I want to also give the gift of consistency and discipline to my children. Consistency and discipline is work. Living healthy is work I am ready and willing to enjoy doing 3 -
Well, I seem to be more out of it than usual lately... I posted 8/5/2021 in the 8/4/2021 folder. That's what, twice this month? Or at least twice in the past couple of weeks? Either way... Le sigh.
Here it is in the right place:
8/5/2021
Did I exercise at least 20 minutes? I did. I rode my bike for 10.5 miles this morning (just over an hour). Going out was a leisurely uphill at about 8mph avg. Coming back, a speedier 12+mph avg. Love that downhill roll.
I think it took near 40 minutes going out, but only 20 coming back. Hahahaha!
Did I track everything? I did.
Did I stay within calories? I did not.
Pass Days: 3/3 (8/2, 8/4, 8/5)
Blood draw went well (I'm usually a hard stick, but she got it first try). Might have results tomorrow, although I think that may be unlikely, so probably Monday.

I'm going to go out on a limb here 😜 and say that the whole idea of "diet cookies" 🍪 sounds like a short term gimmick. 🤷♂️
Kudos for sticking with the smart health and financial plans!2 -

I am SO SO proud of you. I had a friend locally that I finally convinced to come here and start counting calories but she got sucked into the quick fixes by another friend and quit MFP. That was 2 years ago. She walks and is quite active but she also eats a lot and drinks quite a bit - loves to go out and she hasn't really made any progress. sigh. It's sad. In 2 years when you are at your goal Donna and have maintained your sister will still be going up and down.
