Never be content until you reach your goal!

Here I am, basking in the sun like a beached whale!! Since this picture I have lost 60 pounds but still have more to go to reach my goal. Some say its not good to keep a fat picture around to remind you, but I disagree! When I look at this, it keeps reminding me how big and hard it was to move with all this blubber! Also for me not looking at fat pictures makes me to happy that I am a reduced weight and get to complacent so I lose sight of the final weight I want to be at!
Always remember....... it is easier to keep your goal in sight by seeing where you have been!!

It's still there, just hiding!

Yes, it is true!! As we grow older and fatter, certain parts of our bodies go into hiding! On my quest to a thinner, more healthy body, I too have found body parts that I thought were lost! Since I have turned 60 and have also lost weight, I wanted to share what and how you might uncover some too!! First of all, my butt, which instead of being down behind my knees is right where it should be, right under my back, nice and tight and cozy! The following worked great for me to find and firm this one fat-covered part of this mature body!

First you get on all fours and raise one leg at a time behind you as high as you can. If you have good balance, you could also raise the same corresponding arm!! This additional action will not only burn a few more calories but also work on that other disappearing part of our mature bodies; the firm underarm that has become parachutes or bat wings!!! This is an exercise that works extremely well, but it not that hard. At this age I am or do not desire to build anything or bust my ass, I just want to be as firm as I can with minimum effort!

Health and exercise helps

I am 60 and entering a new phase of my life!! This blog will hopefully help and inform as we take this journey together! I am starting out by posting a picture of me when I was fatter, YES I SAID IT!!, we should know that we are fat!! There is a big misconception here - this fat person was not that jolly! Let's face it, our weight is not laughing matter!

P.S. The cigar is gone and so is 40 pounds!!!
