My3squids and Dawn: I apologize if my message feels like an intrusion, but My3squids you are my exact weight and height, so I imagine that we look a little a like! And Dawn, I am 51 as well! Would you two be willing to accept a third "partner"? I am married, never got to have kids (except the 4-legged canine type). I go to Zumba classes, but only because they dim the lights because I do not have a natural sense of rhythm. I used have a 5 workouts a week routine, but got out of it a couple of years ago. I eat healthy about 80% of the time...but am eating more and more for "fun" as I get older. I work in special education and recently started a new course of study to get certified as an Applied Behavior Analyst. The courses are on line so I am on the computer more and that doesn't help the loss of momentum! I am active in my church, have a flower garden, and ride our Victory Vision motorcycle with my husband when the weather allows. That's a little about me. Just let me know if I can join you or not (I would understand if you want to keep it simple....no pressure.) Regardless...be well. Perseid

Perseid, I don't mind if you join in with us! I am also still studying...I have been an RN for over 30 years and am now studying to be a nurse practitioner. I have two cats and a dog, we also have 3 laying hens (fresh eggs daily). I try to eat healthy 90% of the time, we have stopped eating processed, prepared foods. I have lost about 20 pounds since this time last year and am at my goal. It is difficult to maintain at a weight...new learning curve. I would still like to lose a few more pounds and get some more muscle definition. Dawn

Thanks Dawn! Kind of crazy going back to school at this time of life, isn't it? I'm loving it though...the stuff I'm learning helps me to do my present job better, so I'm getting a payoff already. Good for you for all the progress you've made so far! I'm 20 to 25 pounds away from my goal, so it's encouraging to hear that you've already lost a similar amount....and at a similar age!
So, in a spirit of accountability....I am happy to report that I dragged myself to the gym for a quick workout before the Super Bowl. A big accomplishment since I was cozy at home (we had 9 inches of snow here in Iowa yesterday)! I made a vegetarian chili this afternoon which actually turned out pretty well since I was making it up as I went along. Hope you're having a great weekend!
