    I'm 66 as well. 5'8" & currently 162# @ 16% BF. Lost over 30# in last 6 months and am now working on recomp - losing fat while maintaining - and increasing strength.

    Not looking 4 any "friends" but I frequently comment in threads and I joined a 50+ group that you may also be interested in joining. Can't post a link to it from my phone but will do so later from my desktop.

    Hi. Thank you for your comments. Glad you have reached your goal. We both appear to be at the same stage, maintaining and consolidating our gains. Like you I am working on resistance training and in doing so might put on some weight which will be muscle as it replaces my lost fat. I will look at the 50 + group, looks a useful one to join.
