I'm in.. with my FitBit I should be good with recording my steps... I'm also in the "walking" challenge - and a squat challenge thru a local gym (not a member, but got bamboozled by my massage therapist - her office is at the gym, went for my massage and then afterwards with a mushy brain, agreed to their squat challenge!…

IMHO - I would log as light aerobic workout and nevermind about the fitbit - not all devices/apps are for everything. I recently bought a hula hoop and get more exercise bending over to pick it back up.. lol work up quite the sweat doing it!! and laughing - mostly - wonder how many calories I burn laughing at myself trying…

Cutting my asthma med down in half, not having to carry my rescue inhaler, even when doing a 5K!!! Being able to keep up with my grandkids. Loving everything about it!!! The food, the new clothes, the comments, the support!

Not an expert by any means, but you starting at 19 will definately help you be successful at keeping the loose skin at bay, or mostly.

We did a 5K yesterday =- 55:10 - 2 massive hills (492 ft elevation)... I'm 53, 246 lbs, and asthmatic... so I'm very happy with my time - this is a personal best - last time was 55:46 for this same course. that was yesterday, today I walked 4 miles in 1 hr and 14 mins. :-) I'm tired.

For me, walking - 55:56 - first one was over an hour - slow and steady.. walking one Sat. should be able to do better! lol

I am lucky in that my older sister is also loosing weight and she is a couple of sizes smaller than I am, so I've been handed her hand-outs! Who knew at ages 53 (me) and 56 (her) I would still be wearing my sisters' hand-me-downs!!! LOL Love it tho, she has great taste in clothes. Happy to say she is close to her goal…

Research, research, and more research - Make yourself the project - I spent an evening with a personal trainer who was just in- training herself, she said one thing to be that made so much sense: whatever you put into your mouth make it work for you - get the most bang for your buck! So, research on what is good stuff -…

53 years old here - started weight loss 2 years ago - down 85 lbs - still have a ways' to go.

I had mine out in Jan. I was actually very sick because of it, and was loosing a pound a day... way too fast. (also had other health issues, bleeding ulcer etc). I was in the hosp for 2 days, told to not do too much exercise for 2 weeks, then no restrictions at all. I'm in my 50's so I'm guessing you will recoup faster.…
