OK.....one for the good guys (gals)....That what we're talking about!:smile:

There is a 50 + under Group on MFP.... I am 61 so I guess I qualify. Age is in your head. I am having more fun and feel better now than I ever had before! Maybe I have finally got the right perspective on life!:bigsmile:

Well you know what they say....what doesn't kill you will make you stronger....good for you!:wink: I started playing sqaush and love it. I am going to kill that little ball ....as soon as I can catch up to it!:huh:

Wow ...that was a GREAT Saturday...... that's doing all the "Right Stuff"! :bigsmile:

We've all been there and done that....it happens.The main thing is we can all change this. You have made this first step by seeing that this doesn't have to be the way it is in the futurre :smile: Hang in there and take the "small wins" as progress. Nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished on the first try.LOG DAILY AND LOG…

#9 ...kinda captures the idea we all need to get (eat less!):wink:

Not the most exotic answer but drinking water will help fill you up. My problem was cookies ....AKA the "Cookie Monster":noway:

0P ...You shouldn't have to waste the energy doing the following but you will enjoy it A) good kick to the nuts B) cuff up the side of the head C) extend middle finder (either hand or both ok) D) the most important part.... SMILE.... as you leave!

61 male .....Too new to have this thing figured out. I am eating about 1600 but netting out just over 1200 a day with excercise. Only been back at this since Jan 4th and have lost 11 lbs so far. I'm cutting out all alcohol during the week as I want to see if this makes a difference in moving the scale (I LOVE RED WINE ). I…

New Balance N2'S...... Just picked up a pair on year end clearance. Very confortable and great cushion/support. Reg. $169 on for $99.

Sorry hit key too fast .....I am with rokehill10 on the wine!!!!! :drinker:

61 here.... down 11 lbs .....i find tracking and exccercise is key for me. Want to:smile: get to 199..... 216.9 now.... I'll send you a freindy

:smile: Guy here. Started at 227.6 ...now 218.6.....started again Jan 4 . Want to be 210 by Feb 20 and under 200 by April 1st. Send me friend if you'd like and we'll make this happen

Every morning..... don't get bent out of shape with "up or down"....just a habit.

"If you think you can ...or you think you can't......you are correct"

I am a guy and I am from MARS! We are not real bright most of the time. Cuff him up side of the head. He will thank you for it later

I find that I just didn't realize what I was taking in. Once I tracked it I was able to see what I was doing to myself. Very supportive people on MFP who shared same goals as I do. I am older so please bare with me.... it is kinda like golf.....if you don't keep track how do you know how you are doing.:smile:

Call me crazy but I am doing both at same time. Not cold turkey but cutting down each week and I have smoked a long time. I set up a "food" called smokes. Each time I have one I put it in my diary. This helps me get my head around when/how many I am having. Today I though what a painthe *kitten* having to put all these…

:smile: No such thing as too fat to ice skate! Go on out and have some fun

Great stuff. I have a sportline thinq and it just doesn't work. I will use ipod. Checked it out and it is bang on!! Thank you!

I hate thinking about getting on ther treadmilll but love it when I am on. I zone out and love it as it makes time go by much faster. Change my playlist at least once a week. If I miss a session I feel like crap for missing . If I get on I usually only feel like crap for the first 5 minutes and then all is good. The mind…

I did a lot or reasearch before purchasing mine.Go with good motor(based on weight and what you are going to use this for ...running versus walking), multiple inclines and speeds and check what you are going to buy on internet under customer reviews.Skip the bells and whistles (fan, speakers for music etc) and if buying…

I feel the need for speed

7 lbs since jan 4

61 years old......I am too young not to be on this site! :wink:

Tina Turner...... what's age got to do with it?:wink:

Whoa !! Take it easy and don't beat yourself up! Probably eveyone on here has crashed and burned at least once and likely more than once. I know I have. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go at it tomorrow. Plan your food for the entire day and it will help you avoid snap decions on food. Yo do not suck!:wink:

I do 7 days a week on treadmill...... 4 days at 1 hour and 3 days at 30 minutes. Do it cause it makes me feel better...not sure of any scientific reason:wink:

Excellent posts and some great advice. Got this hip problem big time!
