I love, love, love long hair! I sometimes wear a clip-on ponytail, but my natural hair is long too, though a little thinner at the ends. I get it trimmed regularly, but will never consider cutting it. I'm 59 next month, and will wear it long forever (either mine or someone else's, lol).

Not going into detail, but I became reacquainted with my hipbones in December 2013. I spent more than a couple decades without being able to see or feel them. I am absolutely obsessed with them now, and even wake up during the night to marvel at the feel of them when lying in bed. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but they…

December 15, and like a lot of baby boomers, celebrated WITH Christmas (cuz parents were strapped for cash). Dang! Still love it though...wouldn't change it if I could.:love: :love:

I am reading this while eating my dinner on my normal EVERY night schedule of between midnight and 2 a.m. I have always eaten my evening meals late at night, and when I decided to change my diet for the better last year, I changed everything...except the time. I'm eating barbecued chicken breast and cooked kale. It's…

One cup zero fat plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup frozen blueberries without added sugar (thawed...like them better than fresh blueberries), 1 oz. low sodium roasted almonds (chopped), 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/2 to 1 tbsp. honey. Yummy!!! Keeps me full until lunchtime and even later. If I want a more savory breakfast,…

Started riding my recumbent bike around May 2013 after making a lifestyle change in my eating habits in February 2013. To date, I've lost 77.5 lbs. Not too shabby for a middle aged, post-menopausal woman with spinal instability stemming from a fracture. No exercise allowed for me other than swimming and my recumbent bike.…

I fractured my spine, so weights have been out of the question for awhile. Hopefully, I will be able to lift in the future. There are other issues also, but I am being optimistic :) I soooo want to be able to lift, and seeing your post (and others) just keeps me determined! Glad you've recovered from your surgery and are…

This is what I want, but alas...it can never be (at least not while I am prohibited from lifting more than 10 lbs). All I am allowed to do is cardio, and that is limited to recumbent bike and swimming (can't swim). But I have lost 76 lbs since Feb 2013 eating at a deficit, and riding away on the recumbent bike. I look like…

This is great advice! I could see myself heading in the "done" direction, but I have actually begun to see that this is a way of life that I can maintain. I actually look forward (most days) to my workouts, and wake up knowing which foods I will use to fuel my body instead of agonizing over those that I really shouldn't…

THIS, for sure!!

Cool dude! You look great.

I noticed that too. Nice touch!

Happy to join in. I ride my recumbent bike almost daily. It's the only exercise I'm allowed to do (besides swimming, and I can't swim...yet) due to a broken back and spinal instability. But the bike, paired with proper diet and nutrition, has helped me lose 71 lbs since Feb. 2013, and I am 7 lbs away from my first goal of…

Thank you! Great challenge, and I am loving the bike until I'm able to do more.

Thank you, jeanniewes! Had to start somewhere, and loving the bike. Great challenge!

First time posting anything.
