Thanks for your comments. I saw my oncologist today and he is happy with my progress to date. I have gained 9 pounds so far and I am maintaining this weight gain. I just did not want to gain a lot of weight due to inactivity and not following my weight loss plan. The chemo therapy I am going through (RCHOP) is pretty…

I just posted a few mins ago and saw this. Yes, I am currently going through chemo immunotherapy for non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I have competed three of my four chemo treatments and will start radiation therapy after that. I have continued to work out throughout my chemo treatments. I was diagnosed in February 2022 as I was…

You go girl! The day I was under 200 pounds was amazing. Something about that kicked in for me and I am now near my goal weight of 150. Keep on doing the great work and CONGRATULATIONS

I agree with Beautyofdreams. Taking my measurements at the very beginning of my weight loss was the best thing I did. I weighed 221 pounds when I started this journey and now weigh 154.5 and I am near my goal loss of 70 pounds. I can actually see the brightness at the end of the tunnel. But, I could not see the weight loss…

Rode my bike for 14 miles and then took our dog for a two mile cool down walk.

I work out 6 days per week, but on my “off” day I take an extended walk with my dog. She gets walked everyday, but we really push it on this day. Also, love gardening and I am in the garden almost everyday puttering around. I am a master gardener and have removed lawn for a water wise landscaping and our property has been…

I used Leslie’s workouts off and on for years. With winter approaching I plan on using again when I cannot ride my bike. Found out today there is a Walk at Home app with all videos and other workouts as well. There is a charge of $4.99 per month or $49 per year. I can use on iPad or tv. I signed up for the monthly plan and…

Love to hear from the 64 years olds! I am 64 now and will proudly be 65 in January. I was very active (active runner for many years) until 4 years ago when I wore out the cartridge in my right knee and had a knee replacement. That changed my life and I have been gradually building up my strength and activity level. I did…

Morning 15 mile road bike ride slipping and sliding on Liquidamber gum balls, leaves, and acorns. Also took brisk 2.5 walk with my dog.

I weigh myself every Monday morning right after getting up.

Cyclist here as well in Northern CA. Have loved cycling since I was a kid. Now I ride for exercise three days per week (13-15 miles each ride) and ride everyday to meet grandson at his house a mile away and we ride to his school every am and pm. I have done some organized rides, with longest being a metric century. Nothing…

Hello everyone! Love reading all of these posts. They are very encouraging. I am 64, retired since December 2019 (hello COVID) and decided with my retirement I would make myself number one instead of always taking care or or worrying about others (I was a supervisor for the State of CA). I also have 4 grown kids, 5…

Well my mini goal was to start running again. Had knee replacement surgery three years ago and doctor told me not to run until I lost some weight. I am down 44 pounds and he saw me last week and told me I could start running, but only short distances. No marathons or half marathons, but can do a 5k. Start Couch to 5k on…

Congratulations! You put in the hard work. You must feel great.

What a great message board. I am 64 and joined MFP today. I retired in December 2019 and I weighed 221 pounds. It was awful. I started a journal after I retired with goals for my life. The main personal goal was to lose 61 pounds by the end of 2022. I know that sounds like a strange number, but after I lose 61 pounds I…
