My kid just sent me a picture of the car he bought without my help, parked in the driveway of the gorgeous little historic house he and his wife just bought… also without my help.
I haven’t been this proud since he earned his Eagle Scout badge.14 -
So much support. From this group. Weight is just one common struggle for all of us but we all have other struggles too and everyone is so helpful. You are never alone. Lots of prayers and well wishes to you all. I've dealt with dementia for seven years with my mom and now early stages with my husband of 46 years and for me it seems harder. Hugs to all.10

Checking in.......Been in maintenance since April. I am holding my weight. Actually couple pounds under. I am seeing a lot of NSV. I am wearing a smaller waist size. I actually have muscle tone. I have been doing a lot of house remodeling and noticed I can do things that would not be possible at the beginning of this year. Simple things, like drop down to my knees to pull a nail, stand on a ladder for a long period of time painting, loading a washer and dryer by myself with no pain, and get in the back of my truck simply by stepping on let down tailgate and stepping in with hand on corner of truck bed. Previously I would have sit on tailgate and rolled in. I still haven't been able to stand on my head. I used to could when younger. I am getting closer. Maybe by the end of the year. I hope everyone is doing well with their goals. Have a great day!11

Wow Rich! Congrats to you!!1 -
Go Rich! That regaining of strength is a great benefit to weight loss as that needs to be a part of it especially as we get older. As for me, I don't want to be a frail looking old lady just a healthy smaller one. Keep up the good work!3

Me too. My mom lived to 95 years of age.1 -
Trampolining today with grandchildren normally I would say I would sit out and not take part in things like that but although hips hurt a bit now really pleased I had a go it was such fun.9

I'm sure there's no calories in birthday cake!

Get a lot of good ideas from Fitness Pal, read a really good book by Dr .Atul Gawande on eldercare and aging somebody had recommeneded, and bought a hand operated milk frother for skim milk for my coffee, just from looking at posts on this site. Fitness Pal is generally encouraging and a good place to find all kinds of ideas. Have been a member since 2016, weight sometimes up and sometimes down, pretty much like life with its ups and downs, acceptance of this comes more easily in one's sixties than at younger ages. Not in any particular rush anymore. I appreciate this community.4

Just curious I have a friend (not on here) who has lost 40 lbs and swears it's the Apple cider vinegar she drinks every night. Claims she drops a pound a day. I finally succumbed and tried it a few days and all I got was a stomachache. I know there is no quick fix but an experiment non the less. Any one ever tried this? Guess I will stick to my Elmm diet Eat Less Move More. Know it works, maybe slow but steady.3
