59 years old, and 59 pounds to my goal weight (I've lost 12 pounds since 12/15/2020). Got down to 195 a few years ago, then life got crazy and I gained 75 pounds back. New goal is 200 pounds, maybe more.

With the death of my wonderful wife in 2019, and the covid lockdowns last spring, I managed to put on over 50 pounds, and became a little lax in my faith as well. For 2021, my goal is to get back to an activity level and eating plan that better helps me to reach my goal weight (again) of 200 pounds, and to get back to…

Let's try this again. Breakfast... LaBandarita low carb tortilla with crunchy peanut butter and bacon. Lunch...Chocolate protein shake. Dinner... Homemade chicken soup with brown rice and a multigrain dinner roll. Snacks... 2 clementines and a scoop of Calder Farms Dairy whitehouse cherry ice cream.

Hi everyone. I'm 58, had lost 115 pounds. Last spring I lost my wife to cancer, and stopped taking care of myself, gaining 40 pounds back. Its time to get back on track, and MFP was very helpful in my original journey.

My diary is always open. Anyone can feel free to add me.

I started over 2 weeks ago, and have lost 9 pounds. My name is Craig and I'm a bit older then everyone else, 58 years old.

Diabetics have to be very careful with fasting. Try a sunrise to sunset fast, consuming some liquids (broth, teas, etc) during that time. Keep a close eye on your BG. I usually test every couple of hours when I fast.

Feeling lightheaded and dizzy is never "normal"... See your family Dr and take your food diary with you.

I finished January with 80.7 miles, which is right where I wanted to be.

80.7 miles for January. Right on track...

Staying on track...

I love my crock pot! Check out "Fix it and Forget it Cookbook" Ton's of great recipes. I try to avoid the ones made with any "cream of" soups, or make them with my own version made healthier.

Not sure, but I think you have to send a friend request first. I could be wrong tho.

10k walk tomorrow!

I shoot people and things...

I'd be interested in being a mentor. I'm a 55 year old male who spent his entire adult life obese. 5 years ago I got my head screwed on straight, and have lost over 100 pounds and have gone from sitting on the couch eating whole pizzas to 1000 miles of running, walking, biking last year. I'm a type 2 diabetic and am no…

I like to use my resistance bands as part of a HIIT circuit. Side lat raises, curls, standing rows, and triceps extensions, together with 4 core exercises. 45 seconds work, 10 seconds rest/moving to the next exercise. I do 5-6 sets. Sometimes I do that same HIIT circuit, then do 10-15 minutes on the treadmill, and repeat…

I'm Craig from the Downriver Detroit area. I managed 850+ miles last year, and going to step up to 1000 for this year. Thanks for starting the group Caz!

What a great goal, and something we all struggle with. Obedience leads to surrender, and surrender leads to peace.

On a low carb wrap, with bacon. In my post workout protein drink. As a dip for apple slices or pretzel sticks. In Thai red curry stew. When I just gotta have a "fix", on a spoon.

1000 miles walking, loosing that last 10 pounds, and engagement(?!?!)

I've lost 110 pounds. It took me 4+ years, but I believe I can keep it off for good because I did it slow and steady. I'd be happy to offer help and encouragement as you walk on your journey to better health.

MFP already does that...

55 miles for December so far, and 850 for 2016. Gonna shoot for 1000 walking miles in 2017...

I don't use mine a ton, but I like it. I'm diabetic, so I try to avoid pasta, even tho I love it.

Striving to be the man God intends for me to be, and to be there long term for the love of my life...
