My new favorite quote of the day

I had an abrupt life change this past fall, but I am back on track now. I used to be very social on here, and am getting back to it. Add me if you would like.

I'm 6' 6", and years ago I ripped a chandelier out of the ceiling after hitting my head on it three times in ten minutes. I had just bought the house, and was moving in - stressed, tired, and it got on my last nerve! I don't have to vary exercises so much as I really have to watch my form. I do a couple of exercises just…

Glad you have committed to it as a lifestyle, as opposed to a diet. And like @lorrpb said, you haven't ruined your body. With drive and passion you can become anything you want. Just takes time and dedication. You can do it.

I'm in the same position, down to the last 10 or so... and it's proving difficult. Very slow. Month to month pictures show very small changes now.

I have used my bowflex for two years and I love it. I got it for free though - I inherited it. I also have dumbbells, and between the two I can do pretty much everything. Don't know that I would pay full price for one new unless you are really driven to use it. They are a little quirky for certain things, but I have made…

Welcome back!

I'm 50, on my way to achieving my goals. A bit of a rough fall, but I am back on track. Back to logging everything!

I work out at home on weekdays, go to the gym on weekends. How I look in the mirror, and how I want to look in the mirror keeps me motivated. Also, when I work out and eat right I just feel really good, physically.

Also in San Antonio, moved here 8 months ago and loving it! You can add me too if you want

Most. Original. Post. Ever!

You can add me too if you want... I had to stop posting on facebook. Turns out about half my friends are expert dieticians, fitness coaches, or professional athletes and they all know for sure that I am doing it wrong and their way is better. its just easier to keep this part of my life here on mfp.

I have maybe 18 friends on here, and at least half write about life. We share pictures of scenery where we walk, snap of the gym where we work out, and stuff. We talk about kids and Klondike bars and our houses in Louisiana flooding and just trying to get through the day. When I think about it, we are boring - and I love…

Nothing passes the time on a Friday afternoon quite like this thread

Hey, at least you're not this guy... A Pole Vaulter's Penis Ended His Olympic Dream http://www.vice.com/read/a-pole-vaulters-penis-ended-his-olympic-dream-vgtrn

There's always one lol although I wonder how many have looked. Legs a little farther apart solved it for me, at least enough that it doesn't hurt.

The family size bag of Doritos has never been anything more than a personal challenge. It just as well be labeled "Betcha can't eat the whole bag". Licking them though? I dunno, some of the appeal is in the crunch. I'm thinking Support group for recovering Doritoholics.

Yeah, but they should, and market it to children whose parents make them eat their vegetables - "Hey mom I just ate all of my (really delicious bacon made to look exactly like) broccoli, can I have dessert now?"

Whatever you are doing seems to be working. Two pounds a week is really really good. There's a lot of good info on here, I suggest reading on what others are doing that in a similar place in life as you. There's a few,a no a few active people that post a lot.

This... Try changing the time, if you are doing cardio in the morning try late afternoon instead, or move to earlier in the day if you are working out in the evening. If I workout in the evenings I will be awake all night long, so I do early morning. Try to find that time where you get max benefit without impacting the…

I'm 50, add me

Loving the rain today! Live in northeast San Antonio

Adelitas Way... Great rock band

Hi Megan, I vowed a year and a half ago to never again look as old as I am. I turned 50 last March. I would like to think I don't look it. You can do it, if you find the time and dedication. It's a little harder when we are a little older, but there are plenty of success stories here! Add me as a friend if you would like.…

Doritos. Satan in a bag. Family size is nothing to me but a personal challenge...

I post exercise every time... Even when I am just doing shoulder therapy. I work out 5-6 days a week, cardio and strength. Add me if you would like!

Ha!! Hi, also in San Antonio - lovin the heat!

Thanks everyone for the comments! It had no impact on my mood at all - I have my reasons for what I am doing and that's good enough for me. So far it's been another great day. I think I look pretty good regardless of how old I am. I have things I will continue to improve on, both in my overall health and the way I look.…

You can add me if you like, I like commenting and receiving comments back. I like to read about what other people are actually doing, not just the auto updates. I write once or twice a day about something, and comment often. I have few friends for the same reason - I like to read, and I like to write.

Joined in 1989, best decision I ever made. I think others have said it but the key is to never give up no matter what. They will push you until you fail, that's part of the process. But if you stay in it mentally you will make it. I do recommend that you be able to pass the PFT, whatever the test is nowadays. There will be…
