    I am a senior too. Not retired yet, but anticipating. I started 7/1 and have lost 5# so far. I want to lose a total of 53#.

    Welcome! I'm also a retired senior, and my weight loss has been slow but gratifying. For me, slightly smaller food portions and a little more exercise have been a winning combination. I follow the guidelines given by MFP for a .5 lb per week weight loss. I'll pass along a warning that I read on these forums when I was starting out- MFP's calorie expenditure estimates for exercise tend to be very high, so you might want to adjust those numbers down.

    Hi all,
    I'm 50, not sure if that is still considered a senior???
    Good luck to everyone, you can do it as long as you don't quit.
