At my age of 51 I can still:
Do a 40" box jump
Run under a 5.4 40 yard dash
Kick over my head
Do the windmill in breakdancing (it's slower, but I still rock it)

I am finally seeing an increase in my walking/jogging speeds. I was stuck 3.something mph for a while, but yesterday I walked at about 4 mph for 70 minutes and jogged at about 5mph for 33 minutes, all outside at the park. I deserve a cookie. A chocolate cookie.0

5x5 with 100 lbs on the squat!
Not as successful on OHP and DL, but I knew that was coming. Next time!0 -
My boss told me today he went back to the gym at lunch today for the first time in a very long time because I motivated him with my hard work and successful efforts. Now I have to work out extra hard today.0

My 2 little girls see previews of the Avengers 2 and either call me the Hulk or ask me if I could beat the Hulk in a fight. Of course I say yes, because I am awesome.0

I just busted through my plateau and lost another 6 pounds over the last two weeks - why? - because I'm awesome!0

My max weight on - squats is 135lbs X 8, Bench press 115, leg press 540.... I have really strong legs and but can't seem to get more weight on the bench press but I think that's still pretty good for a 50 year old woman :-) Weight loss has been slow but I love being strong, it's what gets me through the week. Love this thread because it allows me to be AWESOME at something.0

@IamUndrCnstruction - Way to go. It's such an awesome feeling when you get to add more plates to the bar.

OMG...I just laughed so hard I think I hurt something0 -
After my OHP being stuck at 65lbs for weeks...I hit 70 yesterday.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to hit a BW deadlift, which would be 195lbs. I'm thinking of going to the gym before work cause I'm so pumped to smash some PR's on that and my bench press too.
I have also been without transportation, but that hasn't kept me out of the gym. I walk 4 miles total there and back.0 -

LOL ... the winner runs even though she forgot the sports bra. That is both courageous and shows grit and endurance. Well done, you!0 -
I'm managing to break a sweat at the gym every day, even though I'm hobbling around on a bum ankle/leg (don't know why/which yet). Which means ........ I am maintaining my sanity, so everyone around me thinks that's awesome!0

Woot! Woot! Grats on the chin-up!
Last weekend I gained 3 pounds from all my stress eating... Then I found out I had to work 12 - 14 hour shifts six days this week plus another 6 hours on Saturday. I was tempted to just give up but after much thought I just buckled down, spent ALL day Sunday prepping meals for the next month and today I have officially lost those three pounds I gained despite the fact that I have genuinely been far too exhausted to squeeze in more than one workout this week.
Also, I was shocked to discover that when I took my toddler to the doctor he weighed 25 pounds. Um... That's how much I've lost!0 -
Wait for it.....wait for it....LEG FARTS!!! Ok, I will explain. I was struck by a car while working as a paramedic at a car accident and my left leg had to be amputated. The prosthetic leg that I wear is held on my residual stump by suction---when I lose weight, my stump loses suction---when I lose suction, my leg farts....
