    I am almost sixty, 5’8 and want to lose 15 pounds. I am not interested in being skinny, crazy or unhealthy. Anyone with similar goals interested in mutual support?

      I’m with ya. I’m 51 (on Saturday!) and have 20 to lose. I do well when I can be around others who are also trying to lose but not interested in being scary skinny.

      I'm a little younger and shorter (lol), but same goals. And actually I don't even want to lose weight; I want to lose fat. I'm slowly working on recomping (burning fat and preserving muscle mass), which ideally involves eating at slight deficit, consistent weight lifting, and some cardio. I've lost 3 inches in my waist since June 2016 and 2 in my hips.

      One of my friends thinks I lost 15 lbs. I didn't. I lost 6 but I've changed my body. What I do requires more effort than just eating at a deficit and exercising to lose weight but the results are worth it. Feel free to add me, if you're interested. Good luck!
