That is terrific news. And a real endorsement for the idea that it's never too late to get into shape.

Awesome. I hope you get there and more.

Regarding Yoga, one of my oldest friends is a yoga instructor. She got my wife and me into some classes. My wife loves it. I promptly threw out my back. Seriously. I'm afraid to go back! :)

Outstanding. I hope you keep at it, and avoid trees.

I definitely understand the struggle. My weight had been slowly climbing for the past couple years. Then following ankle surgery in October, I got up to 240lbs... which I wasn't happy with. Finally returning to exercise and started watching my consumption the beginning of Feb. Down to 228 last night, with a target of 200 (although my body really resists going below 210). Knees already feel better.

Good luck to you.

Yoga done right is quite refreshing...yoga done wrong is quite painful...and I have experience on both sides of that coin :)

Glad to hear you're making positive changes. Keep it up! I know your family will appreciate it.

I'm on a similar journey to better health, I was almost 230lbs in 2013 and I am now at 180lbs, thanks to a combination of MA and constant brisk walking.
