Starting on Thursday, March 20th and running through June 20th, the first day of SUMMER!

My goal is to do at least 20 minutes of activity at least five times per week (including walking to and from work most weekdays), to cut out consumption of all alcoholic beverages and to consistently log food, water and activity daily, with Total calories kept under 1,450 per day. I would ideally like to lose 10-15 lbs. by Summer. How about YOU?

    Hi there - this old girl is ready for the challenge.

    Goals:

    1. Focus!😎
    2. Track Daily📜
    3. walk or dance, 20 minutes every day🚶
    4. In 3 months, I would be happy with a 10 lb loss, but goal is 15.1️⃣5️⃣
    5. It's tough being old…but I am up for the challenge.

    Welcome, Marlene @DancesWithDogz! I love your screen name and avatar photo! I don't know what you mean by "old" - I used to think my age (66.5) was old but not anymore! I also like how you mentioned dancing - I love to dance too! I'm even planning to start hula hooping again! 15 lbs. is a quite reasonable goal for 3 months, especially if you're doing 20 minutes of activity on most days and keeping within a manageable calorie range. I'm hyped! l'm hoping to lose that as well.

    Very best wishes!

    Hi Carole ( @Walela617 ) No… I am not old in my mind lol - But compared to many on here (those in their 30s, 40s, 50s) I would be considered old I think.

    I will be 65 in May - yikes! Looks strange even typing that! I am in the youth of my senior years. Hula hooping sounds like so much fun!! Good luck with your goals.

    My avatar is my old pup Jake - we lost him in 2022 - he was 14 (along with our other black lab - 12 - within 2 months of each other) Still have our border collie mix - but she is almost 15 - we will see for how much longer we will be lucky to have her.

    Hello everyone,

    Looking forward to the longer day today!

    Dear Marlene @DancesWithDogz I was so sorry to learn of your two very special companions passing! I hope your remaining one stays with you a long time. I successively had two cats before this one and each lasted 18 years. This one I acquired recently is a little over three years old. She's had a rough start on life so she is still acclimating, gradually.

    Hi, @cormierannie those are very worthy goals! I need to start strength training too. Welcome!

    So far I'm doing fairly well with my food logging. I'm so happy I got to open my window for a bit today! I want to start walking to and from work again, beginning tomorrow. It's about 2.3 miles (each way); so that should help!

    Have a nice evening. I'll check back in soon.

    💞 Carole
