60's plus 100 pounds to lose , and works out

I do not know if there is a group but I have lost 109 pounds and workout regularly.

Counting calories on My Fitness Pal has helped me a lot. I also walk at least 45 minutes a day on my treadmill, and do workouts I find on the internet. I have lost 27 pounds and am 53 years old. My husband is 68 and he walks 2 miles a day and lost 20 pounds. You will need to find something that works for you. I found just doing workouts did not help, I needed to add the walking.

Walking is great! I do it and I am seeing good results. In addition, reduce sugar, desserts, etc. You will not believe much less you feel hungry without those things in your diet.
good luck:)

I turned 61 this year and have just got back on track following the GI Plan (eat foods that are lower on the Glycemic Index). It stabilizes my blood sugar (I have Type 2 diabetes) and has lowered my cholesterol in the past. I hate exercise but got a jump start on it with help in a fitness class that I go to for cancer survivors. I'll have to set something up when I'm finished the class though and am thinking about checking out Curves. I can't just rely on myself to get moving because its too easy to talk myself out of exercising. Going somewhere and getting encouragement keeps me moving ahead. So wish me luck! I certainly need the encouragement. The GI plan that I follow, by the way, is in Rick Gallop's book. Easy to follow and I don't get hungry if I eat all my snacks between meals. But I have to be organized and make sure I have some on hand otherwise the potato chips and popcorn start looking real good.:ohwell:

I started following the GI Plan a few years ago and found it more helpful than any other that I tried. And believe me, I have been on diets since my early twenties. I've had enough of that. I wanted to find a way to eat so that I wouldn't be depriving myself. I also have Type 2 Diabetes so have to watch my glucose levels. Rick Gallop (a Canadian) has written several books on the GI Plan that I find easy to follow. I do have to watch my emotional eating because that is usually what gets me into trouble. Please feel free to add me to your friend's list. I turned 61 this past January and am almost finished radiation treatment for breast cancer. Its been a reminder for me that I can't afford to be carrying all weight around. I'm content with losing a pound a week although my ideal weight loss : is 40 pounds.
