    You problably need to eat more but healthy and the weight will come right off...and exercise. No need to kill yourself and get injured but stay active. Have a good combination of cardio, weights and flexibility/relaxation.

    I am 54 and it does feel like its harder to lose the weight then when I was young. But that being said, I was more active when I was young. I have not gone down much on the scale but now that I have added exercise in I am losing inches. For once in a long time I dont feel big. Feel free to add me as a friend. I also have a walking group. Its just a bunch of people adding our miles or steps together and virtually walking across the USA. Its a fun way to motivate us to exercise. If you want to join just send me a message and I will send you a invite. You can do this.

    Click on the user name to go to their profile and when you get there, click the add friend button. :smile: (unless you are on a tablet like mine that is behaving badly and won't let you view profiles, lol!)

    Have you set up your calories based on activity level, yet?

    I'll be fifty in a few months. You can add me if you like. :smile:

    Julie, yes I got everything set up. My base is a little over 1700. I thought it was high. What's yours?
