The only time I’ve had a Dr comment on my weight, I had seen one Dr in my practice and needed to have some blood tests done. While I was there I asked him to note on my records my weight loss, I had lost 5 stone, he asked if I had planned the weight loss, which I had, and said he would note it on my records. Blood test…

Just had my first week back in gym after lockdown and, according to my PT I smashed it and I am only 3 lbs up on my pre lockdown weight

We were helping our daughter move house yesterday i was grabbing boxes from the removal.van and carrying them into the house and one of the removal men kept trying to take boxes from me. Before they left he was talking to my husband and said to him, your wife is a very strong woman. Made my day

I just get up and do it. Gym clothes are ready the night before, alarm goes off, I go to bathroom and dress and out the door. Grab a coffee on the way and by the time I get to the gym I am awake and ready to go

My Pilates class is above a cycle centre, they sell and repair bikes, do training and have a physio on hand for advice, and there is a Pilates/judo space. Over the time I’ve been taking classes there I’ve been amazed at the number of serious cyclists who’ve turned up for a Pilates class on the advice of a trainer or physio…

I started to lose weight Oct 15, my July 16 I was down 70lbs from UK 20 to UK 8/10. Have maintained since then, have put on 7lbs but that was deliberate, I looked too skinny! All post menopause. Once my brain was right the rest was easy

I went to a meeting with my boss, one of the guys we were meeting stood up to greet us, shook my hand and said where is it? I wasn’t expecting to give him anything and looked puzzled, so he said the other half of you. We had a family function, my husbands nephew arrived at the same time, as we got out of the car he went up…

My gym is about 15/20 mins away, I pay a slightly higher price per month so I can use other gyms in the group and bring my oh with me once a week. Seeing as I am there 4 x week, and use a larger one 1x week when I see my PT, it works out at less than £2 per visit, and I could also do classes if I wanted to. Excellent value

On holiday I eat a breakfast and lunch as close to what I normally eat then eat what I like at dinner, if my hotel has a gym I stick as near to possible to my routine plus I add in activities that are not part of my normal routine, tennis, swimming etc. I am usually a few pounds up but it drops off quickly once I am home…

Pain from post traumatic osteo arthritis from my broken ankle, and swelling, has all disappeared, chronic heartburn has disappeared, hip pain has gone,

I go on roller coasters, I used to be the one volunteering to hold the bags, I am willing to try new things, learnt to swim, play tennis, give my opinion when asked, generally so much more confident

1315 days for me

I gave up Diet Coke 3.5 years ago when I first started in the gym, as recommended by my PT. never missed it until the day after my sons wedding, 9 months later, was tired and hungover, took a cold can out of fridge, had one mouthful and threw the rest away, it was foul, can’t believe I drunk so much of it in the past,

I really wouldn’t want my PT exercising with me, I pay him to pay attention to my form and to teach me, why do you feel you should be exercising with your clients?

My sister told me she was glad I was doing something about my weight as she was worried about my health, coming from someone who is 6” shorter and at least 28lbs bigger than I ever was, who refuses to use mfp because it’s too much faff but thinks drinking aloe Vera juice will help her lose weight, then spends a whole…

I’ve had the whole range of comments, from people who have been very supportive, to an acquaintance who refused to believe I was not ill to the friends who have never commented at all and the friend who told me everybody was talking about me when I had left the party.

Just type in the name of the meal and it has complete nutritional values, just save it.

Printer repair man visiting the office overheard part of a conversation and jumped in with you can’t lose weight without doing cardio, when he heard two of us discussing our lifting routines. My co worker asked him where the 70lbs I have lost had gone then, his response was well it won’t stay off. 18 months later that…

Leg day with PT, but de load week so relatively easy day

Me too, I turn 61 in March, up until 57 I was aging rapidly, had constant pain in my hips etc, started exercising, eating sensibly and the weight fell off and as if by magic the pain disappeared.

Weekdays early morning, usually in gym by 7.15, so can be at work by 9.30, except Thursdays when I do take a Pilates class in the evening, weekends are active rest days

I found 50 really hard, but I think that was because my mum died when she was 50. I turned 60 earlier this year, I am fitter, more confident, and thoroughly enjoying my life now

Tried on a dress that I really liked on the hanger, looked awful on me but for the first time I didn’t think it was my fault, told myself it was a bad design and moved on

Yesterday morning I hit that magical number on the scale, I’ve been maintaining/tracking my weight for over a year now, happy with the weight I had achieved,but yesterday I hit that number that I thought was impossible. That made me very happy but then in the evening I had a call from my son and daughter-in-law telling me…

I deadlifted just over bodyweight this morning

Gym without doubt. There is always something else to do at home plus I have a dog who thinks if I get on the floor it’s playtime.

Of course. I am 60, have 4 (grown) kids, decided to make changes when my son announced his engagement. Have lost 70lbs, gone from uk size 20 to uk size 8. Beem maintaining for over a year, have lost all my aches and pains, never been fitter
