'Better for your health' is a pretty big deal! But, yes, I hear you. I've found that losing weight (I'm not done yet, but I've had a good loss, so far) has not made the ache in my hip or the noise my knee makes on stairs suddenly go away; I'm not suddenly prettier - or younger. I don't suddenly have more friends or a nicer…

No one told me that I would suddenly become competent: 60 pounds + ago, I volunteered a lot (spent many events on my feet, working the whole time) and was the go-to person to get things done. Now, I am much more particular about how I want to spend my time (more likely to say 'yes' to social engagements and other…

You are welcome to participate right now: People join mid-month all the time! But yes, there will be a November 2015 Weight Loss Challenge. I usually start the new thread around the 28th, and post a link here (in the current thread).

I passed 3,000,000 steps on my Fitbit.

I never knew it would be so satisfying to buy - then wear out - a new pair of trainers.

I have just finished going through my bureau and two large bins - and I tried on every single item in my closet. I stuffed a trash bag with things that never should see light of day again -- and filled the bathtub to overflowing with nice-but-too-big clothes to give away.

So excited for you, my friend!

I looked down and suddenly noticed that my wrist bones are showing (a lot) - and my ankles are decidedly slim.

Me, too!

The dog get super-happy and dances around whenever I put on socks. Socks = walks!

I was getting ready to go out, and my teenaged daughter made me go change my shirt because it was too big. (First, she tried to make me go put on a belt. When I told her I didn't own one, she said, "Well, you'll have to go buy one, then: It'd be cute with that top." Then she made me go change.)
