    SO I'm just shy of 63, started a 50lb in a year journey 3 months ago, and am down 19lb. There's no magic, but it's doable. Aiming at 1lb per week, exercising contently but not enormously (for me it's 10,000+steps. I plan to add weights when I hit a plateau, which everyone does). Tracking what I eat -- 1500 calories per day. More fiber, less carbs. Plenty of water -- 8 glasses a day. Hydration is vital .All that to say -- you got this. You can do this. Small steps and small goals will add up to big successes. Congratulations on your future you.

    Hi Carol,
    I am with you. I am 66 and need to loose 100 lbs too. I started 12 days ago and I feel so much better. We can do this!
