And here we go! New year, new gear for me in the fight to regain my health and fitness: for Christmas I gifted myself Bombas socks, workout shoes, and a hot/cold knee wrap; then last week I shopped the after-Christmas sales for workout clothes in my new size :) Plus two challenges for the month: Dry January and join a…

Just saw this after starting a similar discussion...great minds ): Here's my 3-month

I had to shop the after Christmas sales (something I avoid) for new workout clothes. It's embarrassing to have to keep stopping to hitch up too-big leggings while on walks!

Great challenge for the new year! I managed to lose 5 pounds between Thanksgiving and today, but I want to return to the average 10-pounds-a-month rate I achieved in the three months prior since returning to MFP. Today, December 28 weight: 188.4 January Start Weight: January Goal Weight: 177 Ultimate Goal Weight: 125…

I'm excited in anticipation of exploring a series of dynamic goals for myself, which I imagine as an unfurling path ahead: Which physical activity can I actually do now? (Pilates? Hiking?) What style of clothes do I want to wear now? (Can I go to the gym without a jacket? Without long sleeves? Can I please never wear…

Pdc654, congratulations on achieving a triple-digit loss! Wow. Like you, I'm aiming for a 22 BMI, but will be happy with anything in the Healthy range. I'm 10 pounds from Overweight, having lost enough to get me from Obese Class II down to Class I. Also like you, it's been decades. But, we'll see!

Welcome! I returned to MFP almost 4 months ago after a decade-long break in which I gained so much weight that my previous goal of losing 70 pounds seemed like another lifetime. I am 68, with a bad knee and arthritis, and with this tool keeping me on track I've lost 29 pounds. Now I'm thrilled to be able to say I only have…

Hi everyone. Holiday check-in here. December has been, unsurprisingly I guess, a rough month. Today I returned to my previous-low December 1 weight, after various challenges and what felt like a bad game of Whack-a-Mole. Holiday scheduling stresses, simmering work drama around year-end tasks, OPD (other people's drama),…

"So as for weightloss, exercise, and my health, it makes me think of that quote "If not now, when?". " And relatedly, "If not me, then who?" Because no one is coming along to rescue me from the accumulated health consequences of my actions/neglect. I have to do it for myself or it won't get done. Which is why many times I…

"Honestly I found it easier to lose weight at 71 than when I was younger with work and caregiver responsibilities. " is so very true for me too! I ran out of excuses for why I wasn't taking my own health, fitness, and well-being seriously. I decided this was finally my time, and shame on me if I couldn't make use of it. I…

I finally packed away my summer robes and pulled out my favorite green velvet winter robe, and it was visibly too large on my shoulders and when wrapping to tie closed. I haven't felt like a skinny little thing in decades, hah! (and I'm certainly not, but I've lost 30 pounds from my highest weight last winter when this…

"The decision to move is already half-made. And I get changed when I need to leave the house. See the difference? Instead of wearing "street clothes" and getting changed to exercise, I wear exercise clothes and get changed to go out." Great way of saying it! For me it's a powerful way to reinforce what my priorities are.

Hello, all. I am beginning week 13 of my return to MFP after a decade away, and at 68 realized that this time it would be if anything more difficult, so with that in mind I tried a new approach. I've spent more than a decade rationalizing my steady weight gain by blaming it on a slowing metabolism, limitations caused by an…

Good morning! Having slept since I wrote, my note above, I woke up realizing what important stuff I'd omitted. To your point, Spring, a kitchen scale is everything! It's our truest friend on this journey, speaking the truth we need to hear that only it can tell us. Logging calories in - yes, that's good - but ACCURATELY…

Greetings, everyone. I've been reading along since I (re) activated September 1, and have really benefited from both the information and the perspectives shared here. I am 68 with a big goal (my only child's wedding is next October; I counted down from 55 weeks.) I have lost an average of 2.3 pounds a week. As I end my 7th…
