That's almost what I say.... I say "5 years to go!" And I also say, I'm kind of jealous!
Wishing you all the best and lots of fun on your new adventures.1 -
Thank you!0

Congrats, trekkie!
I'm 67, have been retired a few years now. For me, that's what I worked toward my entire career, and it is everything I wanted.
I'm on the 1 lb per week plan for the next year, year and a half. I've been very steady at about 60 lbs, maybe 70 lbs overweight for 15 years.
This is my first time using something like MFP to count and log calories. Seems to be working for me (4 weeks, 4 lbs)!
Good luck everybody!7 -
Thanks Dave! I have a feeling I’m gonna be having the time of my life! I absolutely loved my career and wouldn’t have changed a thing, but now it’s time for me. Best of luck on your weight loss goals.
Glad to he here to cheer you on!1 -
When I retired I was delighted at the opportunity to do other things. I loved nearly every minute of my job but you couldn't pay me enough to go back to it.5

I have a feeling that I will feel the same Barb.2

I hope there's some KC Chiefs fans here! It's going to be the coldest day of the winter so far in KC with a forecast low of 8 so will probably be celebrating with some adult hot cocoa!1

I seem to be making it here at least once a month now that I am working full-time again. I got the 1st dose of the vaccine and am due for the next in a few more weeks. This weekend we had to replace our bathroom scale and it is showing me 5 lbs heavier than our last one which we knew weighed us a pound heavier than the one at the gym which we trusted more since ours changed depending on where you put it. I just decided it wouldn't hurt to just accept the weight for this new scale and if I have to get rid of an extra 5 lbs it won't hurt me in the end. I worked so hard to get 20 lbs down this past year and have been fighting not to gain since I started back to work. Oh well.
@Machdude I don’t think maintaining is that much different than losing.
@trekkie123 Congratulations, we are not yet ready for retirement but we are preparing for it. My job is a limited time contract and I am hoping either for a few months extension when it ends or to be ready for retirement by then. Enjoy.
@LisaGetsMoving I was furloughed in March and this past summer was laid off so I too considered whether to retire earlier than planned but in looking at our retirement planning I felt it wasn’t the best way to go. So I started looking and found an even better job than my last in terms of job title, pay and benefits and I am working remotely. It was the 2nd job I applied for. It is giving us time to get better prepared. When I set up my home office I was also setting up my art room for when I retire. I have been starting small sketches for planned artwork in my free time.
@RetiredAndLovingIt A farm sounds lovely now.2 -
@KeriA It is just a small one where dh grew up, mostly timber & pasture. But relaxing to be there. We also got our first doses a week ago.1

Keri- whenever you do finally make the decision, I’m sure you won’t look back! Starting my second week and loving every moment!
Lia- glad you’re enjoying the new position!4
