Older looking than a rock singer...turkey neck



Recommended Posts

Not a rant...

post-20464-1381366371658_thumb.jpg

Here I am with Peter Noone, lead singer for Herman's Hermits. He is one year older than me, 65, he's a rock singer,(notorious for hard living), and he looks younger. Granted, he didn't balloon up to 330+ pounds and then lose it in a year, get treated for prostate cancer, and he has a ton of make-up on, but..dang!

The biggest difference is the turkey neck..gobble, gobble.

I am glad my wife loves me whether my neck flaps in the wind or not. I have no desire to blimp it out again with fat globules. Surgery is out of the question at this time. I just have to lay low at Thanksgiving. :unsure:

Well, you don't look older than Keith Richards or Mick Jagger!!

The Surgeon General should put a picture of Richards on cigarette packages as a deterrent!

I have to laugh. A few years ago my girlfriends and I went to see Crosby, Stills & Nash in concert. We noticed ALOT of older people in the audience. The only people without grey or white hair clearly used Clairol products!!

We saw a group of people on the lower level being wheeled in as well and a fair share of walkers, canes, etc.

We looked at each other and started laughing...and said Dang there's a whole lotta really old people here tonight....everyone but us!!

Ok, we're approaching our 60's these days, but funny how our own perception of ourselves was still that of being young and hip.

I tell my grandson that I'm fresh, young and hip. He tells me I'm just an OLD GRANNY.

I think I'm both :P

Hehe. I remember when I had my son, I had to attend a informational class about amniocentesis

I walked in and saw a bunch of OLD pregnant women.... And then realized OMG I'm here too. I'm one of them!!! 0_o

My Nana used to always tell me "Laura I am the same girl I was before but now when I look in the mirror an old woman looks back at me"

Darn, you guys are making me feel good!

I might have to contact the members of my old rock band, The Spyders, and get the band back together!

We might have to rename it though, ....The Spyder Veins? B)

GMan, you are looking great. Truly. (And I didn't say "you look great... for your age - because you look great for any age!). The look of healthy and fit is recognizable whether or not there is some little bit of extra skin here or there. I am working on getting rid of my extra skin, but even if I kept it all I'd be thrilled with the transformation. And you and your wife have a lot to be thrilled about, too!

Gman, you have been an inspiration for many of us in the last 6-12 months. You have done so well supporting others with your advice. And from one guy to another, ii think time treats you well. Keep on fighting the good fight.

I also think you look great! I should think the Keith Richards could get the best cosmetics fixes that money can buy and that guy is UGLY and has always been skinny (I am sure the heroin and cigs helped with that!).

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
