    I agree age is just a number, I feel way better and am more active than I was in my late 20's

    OK, so how come it's only guys saying age is just a number? lol Yeah, yeah. Mentally, I'm still in my 20's (tho some would argue still in the diaper stage), physical it's another story. Had one knee replaced, need the other done. And have herniated discs and a partially torn Achilles Tendon. Really puts a damper on exercising. I really miss walking my dogs. Just had a nasty car accident last week (rear ended), so have some damage from that.

    I need a body transplant!!!! Considering a GO FUND ME....who's down? lol

    Thank you all for your replies. Nice to know they are others, like me (I didn't say old), out there. Feel free to add me as a friend.
    Stay strong, everyone!

    @ sharoncrosland It's still cold here...sorry can't help with warm recipes. Watermelon is my favorite cool down treat. And I've been using the Smart Pasta...you could whip up a pasta salad with cucumbers, grapes, etc. Using Greek yogurt. Now, Greek yogurt makes me gag, but if you mix it with a light mayo....or some vinaigrette...
    Good luck!

    Seems thats all I do is rplace sweets. I make my own quick whole wheat bread and have it with oranges or any fruit. I like greek yogurt with a bit if cocoa in it. Otherwise I go outside for a nice walk. How bout you?

    I'm 64 - been working out with a trainer for almost 3 years. I have been tracking my percent body fat as well as weight and it has become clear to me that focusing too much on weight - especially if you are doing strength training can be deceptive. I believe that it's much better to measure waist, hip, thigh circumference etc and how your clothes fit than your day to day weight changes. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat for any given volume. So it is possible to become smaller yet weigh more or the same. The more lean muscle you can build the more your metabolic engine grows (your basal metabolic rate) increases and you burn more fat 24X7. Doing cardio alone really does not do much for your lean mass. I really recommend the small paper back book:

    I'm 58 and looking to lose 100+ pounds. Just started a couple of days ago so haven't lost anything yet. Congrats to you and your daughter. Anyone can add me.
