RE: We should all be preparing for old age, DECADES in advance.

It's the simple things you can easily integrate in your daily life that can help a lot. You 'just' have to make it a habit.

Commuting by bike is really great. I do it as well. It has also proved to be good for your mental wellbeing. Once my knees gave up on me and I stopped playing football, I started my cycling 'career'. Last year I made over 5000 kilometers.

But... next few months will change that.

Do you already have a plan on how to achieve that? The idea is easy... burn more than you consume 😂
But that can be quite difficult in todays world where fat and easy food is all around.

My whole life is a wakeup call this year!

Go for it mate!

That's crazy - congrats! Mine must be much, much smaller overall but I might try to calculate it.

Yep. It's been annoying. Gaining muscle is so much easier. I lost 3kg pretty quickly in the first couple of weeks, but as of yesterday I gained it all back, even though I only had a single meal on one day that took me over my calorie deficit. Not even sure how it's physically possible; either I'm storing a ton of water or I'm just counting calories off by about 600 per day... Sigh.

Never give up! My main advantage is I'm not a big foodie. I can forget to eat for an entire day if I'm not careful!

Don't pay too much attention to weight. Weight depends on a lot of factors.
For instance the moment you weigh yourself. And when you drink a lot of water you also weigh more. And muscles also weigh more than fat. Just pay attention to what you eat; less sugar, less fat and less processed food.
You'd better measure your fat percentage or if you can't do that for instance measure your waist.
