Friend request sent !!! :-)

I am 71. Didn't think I would still be trying to get in shape now but it is what it is. Live in Tn. going to try again. Just heard about this web site so thought it wouldn't hurt to come on here. just bought a Sweatin' to the Oldies and it didn't kill me 1st time used so will continue using that, walking and going to the Y for Silver Sneaker classes. Thanks, JudyKB

Hi!

I will turn 65 in September. Just found this app three days ago and love it! I never thought counting calories and recording exercise so much fun. I have gained 50 pounds in the past two years. Lost both parents and gained all the weight back that I have fought to keep off for 12 years.

I did not eat anything with flour or sugar during those years and I so missed enjoying foods that normal people eat. I am so excited to do this and was praying to find someone over 65 who still feels 39.

I'll be 65 in Sept....got my medicade card in the mail....it's laying on the dresser unopened. Gotta make some decisions on it but all the plan abcd is to confusing...think I'll play a Jack Benny and go back to being 29!

Hi everyone!
I'm 64 in Sept and since my last child turned 21, have finally vowed to lose the baby weight LOL. I've been using my fitness pal for two weeks and love it! Feels like a slot machine in Vegas, but I get to decide how to spend my calorie bucks! I live in California, haven't started regular execise yet but plan to once I'm 10 lbs down. 5 lbs down now, have to "baby" a cranky knee.
final goal ..... who knows? sky's the limit and want to make my "golden years" really shine ;>

Yes.Hi there everyone. I just joined mfp on August 13. My name is Anthony Before from Springfield,Ma. I am almost there; I just turned 30 years old For the 33rd time on July 8th.

Hi and welcome. Congrats on not giving up on getting healthy. It is never too late. I am amazed at all these "young" over 60 people who are living life and enjoying their food at the same time. I have been part of a weight loss community that was nothing but anorexic young men and women. I am not being heartless and I loved those kids. But I just could not relate. I love to eat but I hate being unhealthy. I am grateful that my generation still likes to eat.

Hello!! Yes, I too am a senior. that's what the number says but i feel much younger (most of the time). Anyway, I started doing C25K the beginning of this year. I turned 65 in May and wanted to have run one 5K before my birthday. Trained and ran a 5K Feb. 19,2012. I have rean 3 more since then. I am not fast, but if anyone had told me 2 years ago that I would wven consider running I would have told them they were nuts!! I love to run, it gives me such a sence of accomplishment. i have to work around all my aches and pain and right now am dealing wth some hip burcitis. Still trying to do what i can. Have a color run in Oct and for me its not about how long it takes me to finish but that I finished!! Anyway, the way I look at it, regardless how long it takes me, I'm still running lapse around all those still on the couch!! Happy running!:happy:

Hi, my mum isn't on this site, but she turned 65 last month. She still works (part time - 5 days a week), and is looking to retire next year. However, I was wondering if someone could suggest some exercises for her that she can do in her spare time? She's got type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, so I want this to be as easy for her as possible. I've tried encouraging her to try Zumba with me, but I think it'll be a bit much for her. I really want to see her diabetes go away!

Thanks in advance for your help

Any of you-guys still here?

Just turned 67, retired a year ago, lost and kept off 123 lbs. since I turned 60. Hook me up!
