We did this at 50, and 80 was a bit of a challenge. My wife is eye-ing the 100lb bag.... It's a little eye-opening to feel what I was carrying around on a regular basis, because I had to rest or 6 times.

Had my annual doctors visit, and she brought in another doctor for a high five session....!

I'm actually a little surprised that I like "dressing up" I used to hate wearing dress clothes because I always felt so uncomfortable in them, and knew they didn't quite fit or look right. Now, I dig it. I even found a coat (that, frankly, skews a little younger) that's a little more fashionable, so my wife bought it as an…

I actually view this from another viewpoint. My wife is always joking about all the women buzzing like bees around me now (they don't). She treats it like a joke, but I can see how on some level she might worry. She's only ever known me as heavy, why wouldn't she worry that I might behave differently if I were thin. Some…

No specific aha moment, but here are some smaller ones that all added up: * waking up feeling like little hammers had been hitting me all over (sleep apnea) * avoiding my regular doctors appt (afraid of the lecture) * couldn't do the "cool" stuff in yoga (still can't do some, but getting there....) * having non-specific…

My wife comments all the time that I don't make sounds when I get up now. Also, she says my walk is completely different now ( I'm trying to emulate Juan Epstein from Welcome Back Kotter. ...)

Great story. If you're still answering questions: I'm in a weight loss study (they pay me to study me losing weight... :) ) I've lost about 3/4 of what I want, and initially was doing some weight training. After an ankle injury, I kinda backed off the weight training and concentrated on the cardio (which was a…

Seemingly the most popular entry: Not being the warmest one in the room anymore. My poor, poor wife, who used to use me as a warming brick at night. Winter is not going to be kind to either of us… Sleep apnea: gone! (along with the aches and pains that accompanied it…) The amount of “strangers” in the workplace who notice.…

48 and would love to join. Started a Heart Healthy study(basically weight watchers except they pay me ) at the University of Pittsburgh in May. Been doing wonderful, have lost 50lbs, my sleep apnea has disappeared, I'm exercising like crazy and have energy that I definitely didn't have before. Clothes, especially suits,…

I don't have much to add that others haven't said. Here's my prescription: 1) Eat at a calorie deficit. Don't "add in" calories that you gain from exercising (unless you're a marathon runner or somesuch....) 2) Log ALL your food. All of it. Cream in your coffee. Ketchup. Dressing. All of it. 3) Weigh and measure your food,…

Short Version: please add me Long Version: I'm in a Heart Healthy study that will (hopefully) keep me on track for a year. I would like to start setting up something that will keep me on track for the longer term, and that I can reciprocate. I'm currently consuming 1800 calories/ 50g fat. I'm down about 30lbs but still…
