@brandi_84 OK, here goes, and I'll try not to write a book.
I'm 61 and have been on this journey most of my life. My Why changed over the years from wnating to look good going out partying with my friends, to lose the baby fat, to not be an embarassment to my kids, to look good for a special event, etc. I think perhaps my current Why may be the most important.
Being 61, retirement is no longer some far off point in the future but actually just a couple of years away. Life expectancy being what it is my biggest fear is not having enough money to live on. I've been doing a lot of research on the subject and the biggest expense senior citizens have is healthcare. Thus, if I want my money to last I need to be healthy. I need to do cardio to keep my heart and lungs strong. Strength and yoga to keep my bones and muscles strong and my balance good so that I don't fall and break a hip. I need to eat right so that my body has the nutrients that it needs to stay healty and strong.
My father was morbidly obese. The last years of his life he had emphysema and COPD and was on oxygen 24/7. I recently saw my brother at my niece's wedding, first time in 2 years due to COVID. I was shocked at the weight he had gained. Talking to him later I learned that during the last 2 years he had been bedridden due to blood clots in his legs and had a total hip replacement (yes I somehow missed those things). While talking he was sitting down because he didn't have the energy to stand, and he had to take off his bowtie because he couldn't breathe. Honestly it's a wonder he made it down the aisle. My brother is only 63.
Bottom line here is that we have a choice on how we age. We can't prevent getting older but we can prevent decaying. I intend to stay strong enough and healty enough to live my life, not sit in a recliner and watch from the sidelines. I want to continue to ride my bike and roll down hills with my grandson and everything else that life entails for as long as possible.
That is my why.4 -
Correction. To number 213.2

My starting weight was 180.
My current weight is still 180.🥲
It's not a loss, but at least it's not a gain. I'm not very happy but I know it's the lack of exercise. I should be more active this week❤
@IvanaKirilova I agree with Sue...no gain is a mini victory! A little more exercise, a little less calories and next week, who knows, maybe there will be a bigger victory in your future! Just keep plugging away!2 -
@DaffyGirl88 Being not too far behind you, that was the most inspirational, and important, post I could have read this morning! Thank you for sharing and for being so insightful.

Everyday is a challenge. We may not have scale movement. Don’t forget about non-scale achievement. Maybe your jeans are fitting better. For me that is sometimes better then movement on the scale.1
