I was born in 1956, and this year I will be 56 years old. My challenge to myself is this:

Weigh in at 156 or less on my 56th birtday.

This is doable! I have 33 pounds to lose, and I have almost 9 months to do it. Here are the steps I will take to achieve this goal:

At least 1000 minutes of outdoor activity every month.

Eat less than 1700 calories every day.

Work my way up to, then maintain, 8 cups of water every day.

Re assess these every two months to make adjustments if necessary.
