  • I've been in maintenance for a while now but I still keep track of calories intake and weigh myself on an InBody 570 at the gym. I give myself a couple pound up and down as normal fluctuation from my maintenance weight. I don't worry about a couple pounds since I know what I am eating. It has always gone back down. There…
  • Just finished Black Cherry Blues (Dave Robicheaux series) by James Lee Burke. Now starting Curse of the Jade Lily (Mac McKenzie series) by David Housewright.
  • Yes, I think I plan to, at least for the most part. I weigh myself twice a week (same days in the morning before eating or working out).

  • I agree with the comments. Your weight could easily be 105# and still be very healthy. Use MyFitnessPal App and factor in your walking with a slow weight gain. I think you will be amazed at how much you can eat. I would also recommend you look at what calories you take in and adding some strength to your walking even if it…
  • Sorry ... I don't fit this group, but I am wondering if any of you "kids" might have seen a group here for the retired group. I'm 70, maintaining and working to lower body fat percentage. If anyone knows were to point me, thanks. Otherwise, keep up the great work I see here.
