Boy, the older I get the harder losing weight has become. Anyone else finding that to be the case/ I used to start a diet and lose 8-10 lbs. the first week. Now that takes alot more time. I've wrecked my metabolism with yoyo dieting....this time I'll just forge ahead until it is done!

    I'm 56 and will soon be 57. I don't think age as too much to do with it but obviously some. I think the real problem is we become to sedentary and lose muscle, muscle that burns calories. The same formulas works at 80 as it does at 10, diet and exercise.

    I wish you much success!

    :drinker: 53 and a Former Couch Potato! But you can lose weight at ANY age. In my case it was embarrassingly easy this time. The challenge will be KEEPING it off because I have NEVER been at a healthy weight before!
    :drinker: Good Luck to all of us!!
