Hello All!
58 and looking go from 199 to 180 (5'10"). Started July 1st, goal is for November 15 th 180lbs. Then I'll evaluate from there.
Did house painting for many years, now I have arthritis in neck a d shoulders. Couch potato for past couple years, so starting out very slow. Walking about 5000 steps/ day, and a little weights, a little calisthenics.
I live in pain now, which is a new thing. I plan to watch carefully, but work through it all.
Made my list of too reasons for health, and gkids fun is at the top.
Let's go!

You can do it just make a plan and stick to it but remember you can always adapt you plan or exercises so they work for you.0 -

Try to stay positive my mum has been in a dementia care home for 6 years although it's hard it's the best place for her as she was a danger to herself, I visit when i can but she is quite a distance away, I have a photo album I have put together which I take so we can talk about the past as she didnt talk much a few years ago so it filled the silence.1 -

Anyone else still checking in here?0 -
I am still bouncing around. Started the year at 205 - have been as low as 191 - aiming to finish the year under 195. And next year I will get rid of the last 10 pounds permanently.1

It's almost 2020. I seem to have regained most of what I lost in 2019, but definitely no higher than my previous maximum.1

Is your tread still going strong in 2020?
If so, I'd like in.0 -
Kathy in Delaware here! 54 and newly separated. I lost 80 pounds and over 40 inches from 2010-2012 and then got “comfortable” and gained it back. Ugh. Taking it day by day and not gonna beat myself up. I do much better when I log my food. Looking to make new friends and for support. I’ll be here for you
