    Thank you for sharing! I think you look pretty amazing in the photos before as well as after; you have (I find) a great dress/style sense. I am 56 and working my way down to 75kg with the intention of staying there this time, so am trying to find a sustainable balance of exercise that I can keep up, bascially forever, wherever I am. It looks like you have this, which is really inspiring.
    BTW i am in Germany at present and quite agree that the delicious breads and other bakery treats are a real challenge to keeping the calories under control. Today I have not managed at all, so will need to do some rowing after supper.. Fortunately, tomorrow is a new week!

    @JeanneTops I could be mistaken but I think it was @springlering62 who said it on this forum relating it to us, the 10 lb thing. B)

    Wow, that's awesome. You deserved every minute of the "overshare" mic and stage.

    That's truly inspiring. 👏🏼

    @springlering62 I see your posts in a number of forums and I'm always impressed and inspired! (I showed my husband one not long ago...I think it's in the "Halp...Heavy Lifting" thread and he said, "look at those guns!")

    Anyway, I was needing some inspiration and had already read through the current couple of pages of Success Stories so I just skipped to random pages and read - how fun to read your story after seeing bits and pieces in other threads.

    So, let me say: WELL DONE!

    And thank you for sharing. I am 53 and, while not retired (I still have 3 youngsters at home), I have a lot more time to focus on my own fitness lately and I am SO seeing how beneficial it would have been (for my whole family) if I had prioritized this years ago. I'm so glad you've shared your inspiring story!

    Me too! I think exercise is the one thing that I am seeing in common with most people that maintain weight loss. Also, I am trying to find if there's any difference in focusing on healthier eating habits rather than eating the same foods, but restricting calories...

    Thank you (and @annptt77) for sharing this. As great as all your achievements are, I have to say that what I find most inspiring, are the times when you gained some weight back and then stopped regaining and re-lost the weight. That is a story very few people can ever tell and certainly not one I have ever been able to. In my opinion, stopping weight regain is the hardest thing of all to do. Weight loss, once you're on a roll, seems easy in comparison. Stopping weight regain is an enormous fight with your own negative thinking, your own guilt and self-disappointment and your own pessimism. Weight regain is what I fear the most - more than wrinkled or loose skin. And I've done it plenty of times. I would love to hear how you handled it.
