It's been 5 years but I finally made it! I didn't work on this over the entire five years. I've been focusing on strength for about a year, with about 8 weeks off in the middle because of an injury. I honestly thought I would never achieve this. I am pushing 60. Thrilled!!

Thanks for sharing your story. That is an impressive weight loss! Sounds like you are doing it right! Do I understand that you weigh 172 and are lean? That is very inspirational. I have been just idly wondering what is possible, looking for inspiration and experience I guess. I lost around 20 lbs, going from 150-ish to…

Here are a few more ideas you could consider. You might try using a running gel right before the workout. This could give you an indication if its related to nutrition.

Sometimes I can be rational about the day to day fluctuations and sometimes it gets to me. I try to lose slowly so weekly doesn't work because a loss might be in the noise of regular weight fluctuations and if I saw no loss after a week, my head might explode. Monthly seems too long because I want to know that my plan is…

I have this problem too. I like to run in shorts, but sometimes I look in the mirror and think, first, "Who is that old woman?" and then, "This looks so bad, I really should be wearing tights." I would be inspired to see some before and after pictures of any reduction in the appearance of cellulite in women who have lost…

Great job! Love your idea of a calculated binge day. I know a binge is fine, maybe even good, but I always end up feeling kind of guilty. Which gives me an excuse to "give up" ... which leads to more slipping. This may tighten that part of my plan up nicely!

Thanks so much for the responses. I am so happy to hear that this is doable! Its just one of those things I always had in the back of my mind and never got around to getting fit enough. I was hoping it isn't too late. I weigh 145ish now, hoping to get down to 130-135. I like the idea of the bar in the bathroom door. Will…
