Anyone in the 55-70 age group looking to lose over 60 lb?

I am 54 and looking to lose 70 lbs. I will friend request you. I teach online and I am an e-learning developer, so I sit in front of a computer a lot. back about ten years ago I would use the elliptical an hour in the morning and an hour each evening. Work bumped up in hours well over 60 hours a week and stayed pegged there or higher, so my exercise routine disappeared and so I busily sat and sat and sat and the pounds gradually came on, and on, and on. So, I started my journey back to the body I used to enjoy a few weeks ago; though, I joined a year ago but didn't get rolling at that time.

Hi. I just joined this group today. I'm 67 and had a total knee replacement last summer. I've been wanting to lose weight for a long time but was having mobility problems. I'm moving a lot better now. The doctor said I still need to strengthen the muscles supporting my knee but I've already done all the physical therapy the insurance will allow. So I joined a gym and am now working with a personal trainer. It was the cheaper option. The trainer asked me how many calories I consumed each day on average and I just threw out a number off the top of my head. I decided I wanted to track that more accurately and found this website. I feel I need to lose about 80 pounds, but the trainer set my goal at 50 pounds. I really don't have much of a problem with overeating. I have multiple food allergies and there's very little I can eat that won't make me sick.

Hi. I’m new to mfp and looking for friends too. I’m 53, need to lose over 45kgs (100lb). No health issues other than lathergy when it comes to moving my body.

I am a 62 YO widower and set my first goal last summer at 100#. I've lost 80 still obese on the BMI and probably have another 50+ to go to get to thin. I have gone to a whole food plant based lifestyle and I am feeling great. The best is yet to come.

Good morning. I am new to myfitnesspal and looking to lose 60 lbs.. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I would love to be on this journey with you ladies. I starting a walking dvd today but have no ideal how to log steps. any and all help will be appreciated.

Hi everyone I am 53 and need to lose at least 60lbs. I have numerous health issues that restrict my diet as well as my exercise. I used to ride my horse's and use an elliptical at least 4 times a week. Then my job changed. Then that company downsized and I went back to school to improve my chances of getting a new job. The studying at an older age took my full concentration and left me with no energy for anything else. I then had to work two jobs. When I was able to transition to one job shortly after that I broke my leg under my knee. That lead to 2 years of physical therapy. All this led to me gaining weight and not being able to lose it. The jobs I could do were office work that meant long hours behind a desk. I have since been able to stop working so I have the time to concentrate on losing weight. I would love suggestions and support with this journey.
Please add me. So sorry.for the long post not many here want to talk about it.

54 and looking to lose 60 pounds. Please add me as a friend if you would like.

Oh and I forgot to mention that when I started my highest glucose reading was 450.....that was two months ago. Today it was 108. Changing what I ate, how I ate and most importantly how I felt about food ( still love and adore it!) But I would rather gain some longevity than have one more Starbucks Frappe’!!!!!!!!! You can do it!!!!!
