Hi, I am almost 64yr and have i have just smashed my first target of 40 lbs lost. However, I would like to lose another 30 lbs if i can. Been on low carb high fat for about 21 wks (inc Xmas wks ) so if i work hard i am hoping to hit my next target in about 16 wks. (Not gonna beat myself up if i don't though) Soooo looking forward to summer this year. MFP is set at 1000 cals a day, with 25% Carbs, 25% Fat, 50% Protein, i dont know if this is right, but most days i try to stay between 50-75 Carbs but dont mind if the odd day goes up to 100.

Hi Beth, I will be 64 this summer and this is my 3rd visit to MFP. I have just found out I have Atrial Fibrillation which caused me to have a TIA (mini stroke) Doc said it's a warning, I don't feel any different but I need to lose weight obviously.......I am 202 lbs and 5ft 2ins, ( lost 8 lb so far) I am on 1200 cals and excersise every day by walking my doggy. I need to watch my cholesterol and fat intake and would love some tips. I live in the UK, sounds like you might do too.
