    I'm 66 and losing weight at the rate of about a pound a week simply by trying to eat at a 500 calorie deficit. I've lost just over 30 pounds since June.

    I am following your lead Heidi.....what is the total lbs you are shooting for?

    I'm shooting for the top of a healthy BMI which is about 140 but we'll see what works when I get close to there.

    My 85 year old grandmother-in-law has lost 35 pounds in approximately the last year. She's unable to exercise with COPD, and needing (and refusing) a hip replacement.

    I am 67 yo and have lost 55 lbs in the last 5 months. It was hard. I exercised by doing aqua walking 1 hour 3-4 times a week. I stoped in September and weight plateaued. Am working on losing another 30 and will start walking again.
