I'm 62 year old male. Been at this for a while but have fallen off the wagon since starting a new job. Quit smoke a while back and 41 days ago quit drinking diet drinks. I have to say I feel pretty darn good. Yet there's so much to do. I need lose around 140 lbs. So I hope to get and give inspiration. Thanks for having me.

I am not getting back to weight lose. I never had a problem weight, I was always skinny. I have been told I am unamerican, because I don't like pizza, ice cream or hotdogs. (It was a joke) I have never been a foodie. But candy is my down fall.
About a yr ago I started to gain weight, now want to lose 30 lbs, and tighten up. I have been told the older u are the harder it is to lose. I am 66, so tough rd ahead.0 -
@lilthings1 candy is my downfall too and when I'm under stress bring me the chocolate. i do fine when it's not available but my husband is a supplier he always makes sure the goodie cupboard is stocked. He prefers me chunky so the weight loss thing has been hard on him. I just document everything and leave room for it. My friends will even joke if they see a day without it.1

Lol Walgreen drug store is a bad place. I had to get my Meds today, and that is where I USE TO buy all my candy. My Husband is the same way, a big snacker, but it is good it is summer, Husband snacks on watermelon. So no candy or chips in the house. But it will happen again I just have to be strong. I am eating lots of fruit and nuts.0 -

I can avoid the sweets fairly well, but if there are salty snacks (chips, Cheetos, etc.) then watch out!0

@bekim123 same for me. I can resist sweets but salty is what gets me down which is weird. Before I started dieting and working out, I was always bitching about stuff too salty and sweets were my downfall. Now it is the complete opposite. I have went over my sodium intake budget almost every day since I started this journey.0
