    Hi all! Born in 57, bad arthritis, pre diabetic. Worked 16 weeks to lose 10. Now I can say 100#. Such a big number. But I am 20 pound less then 18 months ago. So I have recently decided that I only need to lose 5. That I can do. Google "photo of five pounds of fat" and you will be proud of every 5 pounds! So wish me luck this week when I see the doc...hoping to get off the pre-diabetic category on this visit!

    Hi Boomers, My name is Cris, I live in Oxfordshire, UK and was born in 1953. Started planning for my 60th next year and would really like to show all those young uns us older ones can look good. Over the last 5 years the weight has crept on a pound at a time and now it really needs to creep off! My biggest hurdle is my husband has ill health and is not very active. He retired a few years ago so spends most of the day doing things he wants and when I get in from work just wants to spend the evening sat in front the TV. Somehow I have to be active without making him feel bad!!

    Walked a mile-Great! do you plan to walk tomorrow or skip a day?
  • I was born in 1955 and stayed thin till I hit thirty and had my last two kids. (But they were worth it.) I lost 50 pounds over almost ten years but have gained half of that back in the last two and a half due to marrying a great cook. Now, we both want to lose and to get healthier basically to have a better chance of a happy old age and to please our Lord. 65 pounds of excess weight should not be on this old bio-suit of mine, but I'm giving it all to God and am on my way to health. Second day, now, and so far so good! :D
