Shorties

I am 5ft. and am 58 years old. It is not easy being so short and trying to lose weight. It seems like even 1 pound gain shows and is felt!! I was down to 123lbs last Aug., after losing about 25lbs in a 6 month period. Over the year I gained back 20 of those pounds, due to lack of exercise and not logging my food on here. This summer I am trying to get back on track. Hopefully by Christmas I will be back to where I was last August. I have found logging my food very crucial to my weight loss because there are so many hidden calories in foods and I find when I log my eating I eat healthier. Also very helpful was walking and doing exercise videos and wii zumba. Now the weather here in Washington is getting warmer, I have a renewed commitment to getting back in shape. I remember how much more flexible I felt and had so much more energy when I was 20lbs lighter. I want that feeling back. Right now I have a pulled muscle under my rib cage so my doctor is not letting me doing any strength training or jerky movements till that has healed. But I have gone back to walking with vigor!! What has been helpful for all of you in your quest for good health and fitness?
