    Working towards my fitness goal, went running in 30 degree weather yesterday just because I was feeling motivated. That's definitely a first.

    Kinda failed at the lose 5 in December, but I'm in the Fab 4 Biggest Loser challenge this month, so hopefully I will see the 5 pound loss this time! I also started interval running so that should definitely help!

    I want to join in because I need lots of motivation. I will get to goal this year. I am a skinny person who has accumulated insulation. I am 68 but very active physically. Heck, age is a number marked by years lived. But, a true age is how one feels. Based on that, I am an awesome 44 year old.

    SW 157.2
    CW 151.6
    GW 130.0 (maybe lower)

    Water, veggies and lean protein (preferably legumes) is how to get to goal.

    1/1- 151.6 lbs

    1/15

    1/31

    If I lose 5 pounds a month, then I would be at goal weight in only 5 months. Even losing a pound a week would get me to goal in 5 1/2 months.

    Anything that moves your body is activity. I try to get to the gym 3-4 times per week. When weather is permitting, I walk in the park, which is also our home of sorts. I volunteer 2-3 times a week at a nursing home and try to either walk or stand the entire time I am there (burning calories).

    We can do this thing.
