Continues to amaze me that people feel that they can make comments about 'my' body. I usually am a kind person :) and am reluctant to say what's on my mind when it can hurt someone's feelings. However, when this kind of rudeness is coming to me, it annoys me so much that I am getting better at giving it back. As in, a…

Sleeping or lying down on my side and feeling that wonderful indent between my rib cage and hipbones.

Welcome to MFP. I will be 60 in December and am also a caregiver for my husband. Realized that I have to look after my own health to be able to look after his! Joined MFP in January of this year and have lost just over 40 lbs but have also hugely improved my physical fitness. There is a thread on this site that I find…

Love the feeling of, each morning, choosing my work clothes for the day based on what I feel like wearing rather than what fits or which clothing is the least tight!

Every day, first thing in the morning. I only record weekly on MFP, though - weigh in day is Saturday. It's not unusual for my weight to fluctuate 2-3 pounds from day to day. When I would weigh myself only once a week and was up on that day, I would get discouraged. With weighing daily, I can understand that it is only a…

Off to a decent start - felt so good to be running again after a 2 1/2 month hiatus!

This is actually a scale-related victory, but......for the first time in a very long time, within Normal BMI. Discovered that I am actually 1/2" shorter than I thought, so that also delayed reaching 'normal'.

Went for a couple of bike rides - felt sooooo good. Will slowly start running again this…

Back in for the challenge this month - had surgery in late June and spent the summer (!!!) recovering. Released by my doctor to gradually resume activities, so will go for my first run tomorrow morning. Small goal this month - 15 km.!

I actually weigh myself daily but only record once a week (Saturday).

@Madwife2009, so awesome that you share this time and activity with your son! Wonderful role model short term and amazing memories long term for both of you!

Hoping to be able to make good food choices while away!

Running, cycling, golf, swimming, kayaking. Currently on hiatus from all of them :( while I recover from surgery and gradually increase activity. Right now, long walks to get outside.

Weigh myself daily and seeing those fluctuations. Of course at my highest on my weigh-in day!! :|

For me, 'how to get moving' is acceptance that it is up to me to take responsibility for my health - both current and future. And, for me, that means doing the very best I can to be healthy - losing the weight I need/needed to, making healthy but not restrictive food choices, and gaining/maintaining the best fitness level…

This is bizarre! You've been successful doing it your way, now you should change???? What are they thinking?

Exactly this! Don't have the 'chicken wings' on the back of my arms but have this! Annoying as he**!

Not in maintenance yet but following this thread as it is so inspirational! Thank you to everyone for sharing.
