Are there any Seniors

I am a 70 year old great grand mother, who is beginning to learn that I can't do the things I used to do in my 30's and 40's. I am wondering if there are others like me. I would like to lose over 50 pounds and 75 would be a miracle, but thrilling! I was 5' 6" now more like 5'4... which do I use? I love to be outside, but now I found that the humidity really bothers me, so I exercise in the house. I feel like I am whining! I lost 40 pounds last year; my 40 year old daughter lost 60.
My main goal is to lower my cholesterol, which is around 330. At 40 pounds down, it had gone up! I was devastated. I quit logging my calories and didn't walk as much, sometimes not at all. I put 20 of it back on. What a waste!
I am looking for a few friends who will prod me on when I need it, encourage me when I need that, and kick my behind when I need that. I would be glad to return the favor!
