    Keep strength training until I need to add a new set of weights to my collection.

    Healthy numbers! My blood pressure and pulse have been reading high at my last couple visits and the scale has crept up accordingly. Time to reset and get everything back into a healthy range 👍🏽

    @minnelizzy: I can only agree with that goal - I am in the same position

    Alive, upright, healthy, independent. Wait, that's 4, already! None of them guaranteed at any age, but especially not at mine (66). Also, lots of on-water rowing.

    If the pandemic will calm down enough for me to feel comfortable with it, going to rowing camp again would be fun, too.

    Plan to lose the extra 15 lbs that I put on while injured in 2019-20.

    Two biggest reasons to drop the weight:

    If I'm leaner, I can be competitive at sprint and Olympic distance triathlon races. And at 64 years old, I need to watch my cholesterol and A1C.

    Reach my goal of 130lbs. I need to lose 30 lbs to get there. I think I can do it! 😃

    Just to keep going forward. So long as the scale keeps going down I won't complain much about my weight.

    I have a few-
    5k in under 30 minutes (current PB is 31:47 from memory, but I’ve only just got back to it after I had a back problem, so will take me a little while to build back up to it)
    Comfortably be able to complete a full set of proper push ups with good form (currently I can’t even do one!)
    Get to my goal weight of 60Kg give or take a few kgs (will assess as I get closer, 65 puts me at the high end of a healthy BMI)

    I am trying to get into a healthy BMI range, which is also to lose about 40lbs. And my goal is to stay sober this year. Good luck everyone! We got this! 🎉

    Some recomp. Doesn't have to be a lot... I know it's slow at the best of times and I have some physical limitations, but some visible muscle change in progress photos.

    I exercise every week and eat correctly but no change in weight. Someone told me to change my exercise program body is use to it. Is this true?

    Improbable, though increasing exercise increases calorie expenditure, might be helpful that way. Your body doesn't burn fewer calories because it "gets used to" an exercise - it just feels easier as you get fitter, and your fitness tracker may give a lower estimate because a fit heart moves more blood per beat. Outfits like Beachbody try to sell that "body confusion" mythology in order to sell more programs. If you want advice about how to make progress, it would be a good idea to start a thread yourself asking for advice. Burying the question in an unrelated thread like this is likely to result in less help.

    With a very serious A type personality that, at times, borders unhealthy, I'm just working to keep healthy, stay focused at work and keep up with my current workout schedule. It's rigorous enough for me -- 6 cardio sessions a week for an hour (two hard) and two lifting sessions a week. I'm considering adding in a 3rd lifting session.

    Mainly though, similar to Ann, it's about staying healthy and functional. I'd like to lose around 8 to 10 lbs as well -- I've been in maintenance 10 years, but I'm close to my "red line" of 200 lbs. I carry low 190s really well but to be ripped I need to be in the mid to high 180s. To achieve this, I already eat pretty healthy, it's more about just asking myself when I eat, "do I want this and am I hungry?". I don't calorie count any longer (did religiously for 7 or so years). And eliminating the calorie bombs, which I know what they are already.

    Complete my "Win the Day" critical tasks every day (fallen short 2 days so far over dumb things, but successfully have done 11 days since starting it).

    The tasks will vary, but every day one task per category:
    1 - Nutrition
    2 - Mental Preparedness/well being
    3 - Fitness
    4 - Career
    5 - Open - "Life"

    I've always sucked at doing the small daily things to get me to my big goals, and it shows in my life. Heard about this through a podcast I have been listening to, and it hit home on being the "thing" I miss - historically I would run hard, not get the results, and redirect. I want to focus on making the small wins - every day - so I can go to bed knowing I "did the things" but with a focus on the bigger goals....

    Most of my cycling events over the last two years were cancelled, so I just want to get back into that. I think I'm done with 1/2 century rides as I just don't have the time to train for those anymore...but I have four 25 mile rides on my radar for this year. One is in May and while it's only 25 miles, it's a lot of climbing in the mountains that I need to get ready for. The other three still have dates TBD. Two are really flat and fun because you can just gun it, the other is a good combination of climbs, descents, and flats through the open desert.
