    Wonderful work!! And it is work.... It takes focus, , energy, self-discipline, and a daily reminder to stay with the program. ( I am over age 60, and I'm telling you...... Develop a lifestyle of exercise and food intake that can last years and years and years. It's not just about a " diet." It's about a set of habits that are healthy for you in the long run.
    It is interesting. I used to be a runner in my 30s.... eased up in my 40s... and as a woman... have to deal with hormone issues, etc...... so by the time I got to 50s.... my weight was an an issue..... so... Here I am in my 60s... I still like rock and roll, the Rolling Stones, shopping with my sisters, dining out.... ...I'm 25 in my head... but I'm older now..... and I want to live a long life with quality... All of that is more likely with good habits.... daily exercise..... eating a lot of vegetables...... and balancing everything..... It's not bad being over 60 and healthy....... Go for it... Life is good!!!!

    Inspiring progress. Ty for taking off the shy hat and letting us help celebrate your success. I'm sure you'll hit any goal you focus on. You've already proved you can. Now it's just a matter of patience and more of the same. Well done.

    You have done such a great job. As the lady said it gets harder as you get older, so get it off now and lead a healthier lifestyle so you can enjoy the rest of your life. That's what I am trying, but slow progress. Good luck on the continued better choices and you look wonderful.
