I'm not new to this MFP but have not been active for a few years. Age and pounds...how they creep up on you! This is a great motivational way to stay the course and keep active. So many of you are an inspiration! Yeah to all! I'm 60 ish....but not feeling like it! Trying to just stay active and healthy at this age!

    I'm in my 70's and don't feel like a senior either but it is harder to get weight down. I need to lose about 15 to 20lbs more. I stayed off of breads and starchy carbs for the first 2 or 3 weeks and lost some but I practically have to starve to lose. I'm walking hard most days but not much is happening now. I'm craving carbs again! Help! I like the 40-30-30 diet which is the Zone Diet. The fat flush diet does work if you can stay off of starchy carbs and bread.

    You are only as old as you feel. My neighbor is 73 and cuts, bales, and bucks his own hay on 20 acres. Everyone needs to find their own motivation for living a happy healthy life. I want to live my life so when the time comes I won't be saying I wish I would've done..... I want to say man remember when we did...... best of luck and feel free to add me!

    Age is a just a number. I am turning 64 this month. I feel and look better than I did 10 years ago. Actives and exercise is the key. As for weight loss, it's just math. Create a calorie deficit and the weight comes off. Feel free to add me
