Anyone else in this boat. Getting older and carting around more weight is just hard. I had chronic back pain for several years thus the weight gain. Been walking , riding and 1220 calories a day. High protein. Seeing great results for the first time in years. 11 pounds in 2 weeks. I'm sure a lot was water.

    I've been reading about glucose index meal plan (someone call it a diet?). I'm prediabetes and I could use some low blood sugar. New potatoes, quinoa, and protein-packed pancakes are new carbs. I have a vegetable and a salad every meal.

    Been circuit training (arm weights), riding a bike, and walking. You got to build up that intensity (heart rate).

    I'm finally losing lost 17 now. Have had lots of plateaus though. My advice just hang in there but don't be afraid to have off days, otherwise it just feels like a diet and diets have never worked for me. This pushed me to go for a walk every day so I can still have a snack at night, I highly recommend the weight watchers giant chocolate fudge Sycles
