The effort continues recommitting is the byword
I am 6 and a half years retired in my seventies and want to continue enjoying an active engaged life. I have had a high energy level and have been able to use a fitbit and sparkpeople to lose 35+ pounds 235 to low of 186 . I have gained to 215 and am committed to going in the right direction.. I realize that I am not 20 years old and want to extend my healthspan (not just lifespan) as much as possible.

I am 6 and a half years retired in my seventies and want to continue enjoying an active engaged life. I have had a high energy level and have been able to use a fitbit and sparkpeople to lose 35+ pounds 235 to low of 186 . I have gained to 215 and am committed to going in the right direction.. I realize that I am not 20 years old and want to extend my healthspan (not just lifespan) as much as possible.
I have found tracking food intake and daily monitoring of results the best way to sustain motivation. I also track steps and this has saved my health as I get distracted from a nutrition and caloric focus. Strength training is a goal too, but not the strong focus that walking and biking has for me. With the coronavirus arrival and the need to maintain social distance and yet connection I want to start a daily exercise group that uses bike to help with the six foot spacing recommended for social distancing.
I want to stay in contact with a variety of friends and family, so I am begining a social biking group.
I am personnally recommitting to daily monitoring with immediate adjustments as a life long strategy, rather than the diet mentality, or yo yo on and off mostly off, approach which I know will not work.

Thanks for the comment on my picture Joe. Martha is younger than me by 16 . . . . days, and she never let's me forget it!

Thank-you for the SparkGoodie, it is almost hard to remember that old life style I used to live. I look around and I am saddened to see so many unfit men my age.

My page is actually in Lolo Pass, Montana, Route 12 into Idaho. It's one of the great motorcycling roads in the country.

Congrats on your mileage. I'm trying to get that many miles myself. I feel like such a weakling.
