My mother, on the left, 64 years old, 275lbs. My mother, on the right (yesterday), 70 years old, 180 lbs.
She's been overweight her entire life and in her senior years R.A. led her to live a sedentary lifestyle. She credits keto diet and good old CICO. Happy birthday, mom! You are my inspiration!

    Tell your Mom WTG! I turned 69 on 2/3/17 and have lost 152# over the past four years on WW.
    So I know how hard your Mom worked to get healthy. She is a role model for seniors and you youngsters too!

    This is so amazing! Your mom looks a lot younger. Thank you so much for sharing this! It gives me hope at age 61 that I just may loose the 50 pounds I want to loose. <3:)

    I'm 63 years old and find it very inspiring. Your pictures motivate me to stay the course. I just came back charting my food after a long absence from MFP. Since January 1, 2017 when I started till now, I have lost 12 lbs.It's not a lot of weight I realize. What counts though is I feel like I'm Headed in the Right Direction. What amazes me most though is I've lost more off my frame than 12 inches. I've lost 16 inches and found a top that I could not fit into for two years. I tried it on and it fits with a little room to spare even. WOW...It works because people like you share the successes making us want to stay the course. Thank you for posting. :)
