I left food on my plate because I was full.

My fitness age according to my Garmin watch had been pretty consistent ~57 for months (I just turned 63). Then it started a steady rise since October to reach 59. I rebooted my diet and exercise routine in January. I just checked - I'm at 57.5. Woohoo! I guess I've found the fountain of youth!

This week in the mail, I got two fun things:

1. My pin for completing another Concept 2 Holiday Challenge, 200k rowing machine or 400k stationary bike, or a proportionate combination of both between US Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve (using Concept machines, of course). I have pins for every consecutive year from 2017 through 2024 so far, plus some intermittent completions before that, at least 2009, 2010, 2012.

2. My second Concept 2 5 million meter t-shirt and pin. That's not 10M meters on the same machine, it's 5M on each of two machines, in my case RowErg and BikeErg.

When I started learning to row back in 2002, as an obese 46-year-old woman who'd been a "chosen last in gym class" kid, I never would've believed this kind of thing would remotely be possible for me, ever, let alone now at age 69.

Keep at the good stuff persistently, surprising things can happen, I guess!

Very impressive and very inspiring.
Congratulations .
And thankyou for the words of wisdom...

@Overheadfan PS Certainly start right away and PROUDLY SAY.........I'M OBESE!!! Youll never be able to say that again and when you say that and know it........it helps to completely let it go!! Like a vacation to a destination you know you'll likely never see again. It puts you in the moment and actually makes you happy.....which boosts your enthusiasm to keep going. I did that and it made my journey so much FUN!! Make it pleasant the time passes more quickly 😆

@spirittrail

I just want to say I'M OBESE!
And having said that I'm even more motivated and enthusiastic about letting it go. I've visited that place for long enough, time to visit somewhere new.

And I've also taken your very excellent and fun advice ..and I've checked out Dr Hall's BMI chart ..love that! And I've also downloaded the Model My Diet app.
That's going to be a whole lot of fun too, and I really appreciate the suggestions.
Breaking the 93 kg ceiling ..cancel that...floor, (seeing as how I'm aiming to go down in weight and not up) will be a big deal for me, and I'll definitely keep you updated. Actually, being 7 kgs lighter than this time last year has been a real buzz too. Now I'm just keen to explore the next part of the journey.

Thanks so much for being happy to share your joy and enthusiasm with us all.
