Older folks losing weight!!

dianes718

I'm 63 and need to shed about 15-20 pounds. I had always been very thin so this is a real jolt to my system! I have never dieted. This looked like a pretty good place to start!

This is a GREAT place to start. It is all about the calories in, and calories out.
Welcome, and good luck!

Hi Diane, I'm Suzanne and have also put on weight as I've got older - I blame the menopause 5 days into this plan - Feel free to add me as I'm looking for all the support I can can get!

This is a wonderful place to start - lots of good people, good ideas and most of all, lots of people who are in the same place you are who encourage, advise and just generally keep you going.

Hi, Diane - I'm with you! I just turned 59 and need to lose 20-25 pounds. I ate anything I wanted - and as much as I wanted - and couldn't gain ANY weight most of my life, so needing to lose pounds has been an attitude adjustment! My daughter gave me a FitBit for my birthday, and it is helping to keep me on track.
Hang in there ~ we can DO this!

Hi Diane, My name is Gary and I am 54 years old and myfitnesspal.com is the best place to start losing weight. I have lost 117 lbs. I still have more to lose but I have never been this positive that I'll reach my goal. The key to success is to log in everyday and be truthful about the food you eat. Good luck and if you need a supportive friend feel free to add me.

I just signed up and am starting in the morning. I've spent the last couple of hours looking through all the posts, reading the supportive comments between everyone. I'd love to have a few friends to help navigate through all this.
