    Buy a food scale, accurately weigh and track your food...everything. When you are our age (I'm 52) every calorie counts unfortunately! Take it one step at a time...get going on good tracking and staying under your calories then look at adding in fitness.

    Hi Sue, totally agree with suruda, I weigh everything, except protein bars or single item consumables that have a bar code. I have lost 7.8 pounds in my first 9 days by keeping track of my calorie intake (2110 or less) and keep up with regular cardio and strength training. Good luck.

    Welcome! This is my 3rd time here. I lose the weight, then it has a way of creeping back. Logging one's food intake is a real eye opener. I am a 'grazer' of sorts. I like to nibble. So logging all of my eats help me be accountable.
