Looking for help from others over 55

i'm well over 55, feel free to add me

Way over 55 now, but lost the weight at that age and have been maintaining ever since.

Food choices are easy- start with eating what you want just stay within your calorie deficit. That can be the hard part, so try decreasing your calories 100 at a time over a couple of weeks, logging what you normally eat for a week first. Later you may decide to work on your macros for a healthier menu.

Exercise, find something you like and do it.

Mine was aqua fit x3 a week to begin with. Really good for stretching and flexibility as well as being low impact.
Since then I have walked 10k races, done belly dancing, Pilates, swimming lessons, Zumba, and strength training( tried machines, free weights, body weight, & heavy).

Although exercise is not needed to lose weight, I think, as we are getting older, some kind of resistance work is a necessity as we lose. Not only are we losing muscle with the weight loss, but we are naturally losing it due to our age and menopause.

I found nerdfitness.com had a good starting body weight program that was simple and easy to follow.

Cheers, h.
