    Have you considered entering her in some form of Blood Sport? Great way for her to supplement her pension and stay fit!

    HI everyone

    I've been on MFP for a while now. I lost 60lbs lifting heavy and eating in a calorie deficit and doing occasional cardio. My problem isn't with me. It's with my granny. She's 92 years old and absolutely refuses to lose weight.

    I take her to the gym and stick her on the treadmill and after 5 minutes she complains she's tired?!

    I got her started on Stronglifts 5x5 and she refuses to even lift up the barbell?

    Do any of you have lazy family members? What did you do to kick their rear in gear so to speak?

    I love my granny and want her to be healthy.

    I am absolutely gobsmacked...Are you really that sadistic to expect a 90yo person to do what you are asking her to do?!!!
    It's a wonder that she hasn't collapsed and past away with trying to get her to do lifting and treadmill stuff!!! .. :noway:

    She has done so well getting to the age she is so allow her to live the rest of her days in peace.

    I dunno, she's 92.

    If I make it to 92, I'm going to eat whatever the hell I want, snort cocaine and have unprotected sex with prostitutes.


    HAHAHA I was thinking close to the same thing except switch sex with prositutes with smoking weed lol I'm gonna be an awesome granny...just sayin

    Unbelievable! Are you joking? Anyways, you cannot force ANYBODY to exercise or lose weight. Is she happy? Please let her be!

    My family's health is not a joke ma'am.

    And if my family had "let me be" I'd be face first in a cheesecake right now.

    Wrong answer.

    My granny did dead lifts and lived to be over 100 years old.
    She's dead now.

    Thanks sooooo much for re-opening that wound.

    I like where your head is at.

    Perhaps enrolling her in the next Tough Mudder would be suitable?

    I think distance running is a better option for her, vs. lifting. Seriously...
    if she made it this long, she ought to be good for at least a marathon or two...
    endurance is key. She's already halfway there...

    I second this advice. Seriously. Lifting at her age is dangerous! But distance running would be beneficial to her heart.

    i honestly wasnt sure if this was a joke or not??
    and you say you "stick her on the treadmill"?? sounds a bit harsh...

    i think at 92 , you're asking too much of her.
    how about you two just go walking together around the block. im sure she'd prefer your company
    and fresh air instead of being stuck on a treadmill....
    just a thought......

    It could move to a 7 or 8 though...we'll see how this one plays out. I agree though...would have been better in chit chat.

    Well yeah, I guess if you want to baby her. Maybe adding in some bare knuckle fighting as well? Just to keep her on her toes
