Way to go!
When I was in my 20s and 30s I had active jobs. It was desk jobs later in life that made weight control more difficult, not the extra years.
I like to be active, but do need to work on making sure that happens, which was a non-issue back when I was a machine operator running around a machine all night or a full time yoga teacher who also walked a lot as part of everyday life.1 -
I have a desk job now. I wake up a couple of hours later to workout and run. I am more conscious of what I put in my body. I have lost over 30 lbs and have been able to keep them of for over a year.0

You've done great and look great what an inspiration, so you get up a couple hours early before work and workout? I've lost 50 lbs myself but I have 28 lbs to reach my final goal, working on continuing to stay inspired.
Keep up the great ๐ช0 -
@yweight2020 yes, I meant earlier, but couldn't edit lol! The last lbs are the hardest! You'll get there! Baby steps!1
