    Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've checked in on this thread. Hope all is well with all of you and you have a fabulous weekend planned! The birds are chirping loudly to inform me that it's time to roll out of bed and head out for my daily one-hour beagle walk. (The beagles are still snoring, of course.)
    Have fun today! - Sarah

    Nice way to remember on this weekend @allenpriest. We owe our freedom to many.

    Gloomy 10K today, but I reached my goal of under an hour- 56 minutes! BOOM!

    @gam3rguy- I did a round of the original insanity and a round of insanity30. Toughest thing I have ever done!

    The flag setting is an awesome sight. There are 10,000 to place. It looks like a wave washing over the cemetery. It took just 20 minutes for around 200 scouts and families to finish the task n

    Did a 6 hour bike ride today (Sunday evening here already) with my bike buddies - luckily not too intense and it was lots of fun! Hope everyone have a great Sunday!

    Thank you! I see what you mean... I love my workout buddies they make things so much more enjoyable and we often push each other to do (at least try to do) better than last time.

    I hope you will find some new workout buddies soon!

    Wow! Awesome bike ride, @narak_lol! I'm just back from a 90-minute walk with the beagles. Dusted off the full-length mirror today in preparation for what I hope will be my last "before" picture ever. No more avoiding mirrors... No more avoiding mirrors... No more avoiding mirrors... Have a light work schedule the next six weeks and am in my first week of longer daily dog walks + 40-60 minutes of low-impact aerobics each day. Adding swimming in soon. Sorry for the long post! I'm just getting out of about 3 months of too much stress and crappy eating. Back on the wagon!!!

    Hope you all have a lovely Sunday! Thanks for the inspiration!

    @peppermintpudgy The beagles must have loved that! Dogs are a great way to get out there- I mean who gets more excited for a long walk?

    Wow @chris_2013 ! That's a lot of weight in a short period, especially at our age ;) Let us know if you hit 50 tomorrow.

    I did legs today. Threw in pendulum lunges to change things up. Haven't done them in a while. Now I remember why- owie

    Rode 35km (22 miles) today. Aim to ride 4 times this week so 1 down 3 to go!

    Tomorrow is 1 hour weight training.

    Hope everyone have a great start of the week!

    Yesterday I did a lap around Central Park on my bike and was able to do Harlem Hill with no trouble. The last time I tried, I barely made it. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about doing it twice later this week. B)

    41 here, and would welcome new MFP friend adds. I tend to click like on any positive progress/news, only occasionally post text comments.

    So far lost 56lbs (I'm at 197), Looking to lose probably another 30-35.

    This week marks 1 year (365 days) of logging into MFP daily for me, so i figure it's time to reach out to the message boards again as a lot of the people i originally made friends with have either dropped off or become somewhat inactive (I might have 5 or 10 active MFP pals remaining).

    Had 22,000+ steps yesterday on FitBit. That is unusual for me, typically is probably 5,000-7,000. On a rainy day like today here in new york (Long Island) it might be much less.

    I am not always the healthiest eater, but my weight is generally in a downward trend over the course of the year (during allergy season my moods get off and that distracts my dieting a bit).

    As per where the cool kids are (this group) - "I wish that i could be like the cool kids" as the song says :smiley:

    Down again this morning so total loss now OVER 50 lbs. Just bought a set of Parasom A1 Magnetic Bluetooth Headphones off of Amazon yesterday and those will help motivate me for longer walks (trying to do 5 km every morning before it gets too hot). My wife hit 15 lbs lost this morning and she is down to 155 for the first time in several years (probably pre-kids weight).

    That is really great @chris_2013. Fantastic that you are doing this together!

    Back for me today. Still have to do pull ups "assisted". Will I ever conquer them?!
    Finished with a 30 minute run.
