Over 60 still trying

Merry Christmas!
I've been tracking this past 15 months and lost a little over 50 pounds. I'm coming off a sugar binge and the resulting regain, but still tracking and hoping to lose the last 10 to 20 pounds during 2019.7 -
Merry Christmas everyone!
I've started this journey on Oct. 28th and as of this past Sat. Dec. 15th have lost 11 pounds. I weigh myself once a week on Saturdays and I am just so happy that I am actually losing some weight. When you think about it...11 pounds....that's a bag of potatoes that I have unloaded. This time it doesn't feel like i am dieting...just eating normally but limiting my carbs and portion control. I do believe keeping track of every morsel that goes into my mouth is the difference. It seems that a pound a week is coming off... which is OK... as my 1st goal is to get rid of 62 pounds and then from there more. My worst time has always been snacking in the late evening...no matter what good intentions I have...they go out the window once I start. This time I am curbing those urges and it seems to be working by having 3 squares of 90% cocoa dark chocolate bar. I bite of little pieces and because they are so bitter yet give you that satisfying chocolate fix by rolling around in your mouth. Keeps me busy all evening and I am satisfied. 3 squares is only 180 calories and 3 net carbs. Does anyone else do this or have any other ideas for those nightly urges. Mary from Ontario, Canada3 -

It may not work for others, but my night snacking urges were reduced when I made sure to get a solid breakfast with good protein, then protein through the day.
If habit more than actual hunger is part of the problem, then forming a new habit (that isn't snacking) can help. Some people go for herb tea or the like, though that's still eating in a way. Something like stretching or light exercise (marching in place, say) could work, depending on what else you're doing when you usually snack.
Another option that can help is to start a new hobby or revive an old one as a distraction. Especially good are hobbies that either require clean hands (needlework, sketching, playing a musical instrument, etc.) or create dirty ones (painting, carpentry, gardening, etc.). This can also be a help if part of the root cause of snacking is some form of boredom.
If there's a stress component, exercise or meditation are good things to try.
Also, depending on what your sleep schedule looks like, going to bed a little earlier might be good. Sometimes a bit too little sleep = cravings and reduced self-control later in the day.
Nothing wrong with a bit of a treat that fits your calories, though!
Best wishes!7 -
Thank you Ann.......some good ideas. Keeping your hands busy is good...maybe will do my crosswords instead of just watching the tv doing both will keep the mind busy as well as the hands. LOL Always good to have several options available. Mary from Ontario, Canada2

Well done on the weight loss. I agree - logging is key for me - no restrictions - just make the calories and macros work.
Re: late night snacking - I struggled with that in the past. I did intermittent fasting for a while - ate in the 2pm to 10pm window. Then I could have the evening snacks I liked without exceeding my calorie limit. As I progressed, I have found other foods that work with my plan and so don't snack as much.
As you know, the Lindt 90% bars are great for a late snack - there is always some chocolate stashed in the freezer at my house. I also like to make "ice cream" by freezing a protein shake. Add a little chocolate syrup for a 200 calorie late night treat. I also like jerky or salami if I want something spicy or salty.

Your stories/examples are very encouraging, keep sharing! While a relative youngin' at 56, I've lost 50+ lbs (twice lol) using MFP......1500 net calories a day eating what I like, and run/cycle 3 times a week. Count, stay committed, and you'll get where you want to be8

Welcome, @runbowlfish.
Agreed. The community here is great. The support and encouragement helps me stay on track.
I've also read a lot (too many) of those "lost the weight, then gained it all back" stories. I could tell a couple of those stories about myself, before MFP. Here I've learned that if I just log my food everyday, I will not gain back any significant amount. It was too hard to get here to backslide very far.

Oh what a great idea of freezing the protein shake....I have them as a breakfast as an alternative for eggs.

Hoping you all enjoyed Christmas. Now onto the New Year and new highs or lows!3

We had a lovely Christmas and hope the new year is healthy and everyone meets or comes close to meeting their goals. Have to share a product my daughter introduced me to.... Shiratake noodles. They are pure fibre and if your following a low carb programme actually have "0" carbs but nutrition label must put something down so they put 4 gms. and only 15 calories. I have read that people said they are slimy and smell fishy but if you rinse them in water and infused with lemon juice and drain them well and put them in a dry frying pan and move them around for a few minutes to dry off.....you can keep them in the frig and use them as pasta and add them to soup etc. I tried them and loved them (no smell...no slime) and they are so filling the half cup is more than enough. So I am going to add them to soup tomorrow and see how that tastes. Has anyone else had them and what have you done with the noodles? I would be interested to know.

Thought I might throw my hat into the ring as well. I turned 61 on Christmas Eve this year. In 2015 I lost 36kgs (79lbs) by using MFP (about 1500 cals per day) as well as working out at the gym 5 days per week. I had a PT once per week. I maintained for a year. Last 18 months (was a bit rough emotionally) I gained back 20kgs of what I had lost. I still trained but my eating habits (despite always logging my cals) was all over the shop! so here today at 97kgs (darn!!!) I'm starting afresh with clean fridge, workouts, paying closer attention to my macros and eating 1500 cals per day. My best rule ever that I am revisiting this week is - " No eating after 8pm". This is a great thread, with some very inspiring stories. Onward forward and downward. Good luck to all of you out there in MFP land. You've got this! xx8

I'll be 67 in February, and need to lose about 40 pounds! Yikes! But I was on here in 2012 and did really well, so I'm really getting serious about the weight loss and getting healthier. Please add me as a friend! Thanks, and Happy New Year everyone!!

I'm going to try freezing the protein shake as well. I'm an evening snacker, and LOVE chocolate, so that would fit the bill!! Also, logging my food intake is key for my weight loss too. Good luck everyone!!1 -

When I cut out sugar "for a while" last year, I felt sooooo much better!! It really motivates you to eat better! Good luck and keep at it everyone!! 2 -

I joined WW just last week to help me get started, motivated and be accountable. Not convinced that the point system is for me, probably because I've been a calorie counter for so long. I'll try to reconcile the two. I'm glad to find people in my own age group. I can't really identifý much with younger people anymore. Hope I can be of some inspiration to you, I already feel encouraged by just having found you all.
Have a great day

I like the idea of finding folks my own age too!! It's so encouraging to hear all the stories and get some new ideas. I too am very uncomfortable with the extra pounds. Need to lose about 40 lbs!
But I know I'll feel so much better if I just do it, and MFP really seems to help!! Good luck, and Happy New Year!! 1 -
Debking52....welcome. I tried freezing the protein shakes in ramikins but didn't enjoy them that way so I am going to buy some of those popsicle forms and freeze them in those. They were tasty though...almost like those Fudgsicles you can buy. Yes your right about our age group aleast we can relate to each other and our health issues. I am trying the low carb way of eating and keeping to portion control but finding the posting of my food as really helpful and much easier on this site as it does the figuring out for you of calories and all the rest. I am hoping to get through Christmas and new year...so far no gain and no loss. Today going to make a pot of the "diet soup" remember that one...but going to add some simple meatballs to it and those Shiratake noodles to hopefully be a filling but low carb meal. We have no snow on the ground here but it's cold and that wind is nasty......just came back from walking our little dog and we both walked very briskly...the dog yes...me not so much.

Here's a couple of protein powder "ice cream recipes". I've made the first one - works well for a protein rich evening treat. Found these in the "volume eaters" thread. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10563959/volume-eaters-thread/p1
Elven Toad's protein powder ice cream recipe
Eat it immediately, I do not freeze. If you think it makes way too much for you, just halve the recipe next time but yeah.. its a lot!
I don't remember her exact amounts but here's mine in the order I add to the blender:
65mils of sugar free pancake syrup (17 cals)
145 mils of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (18 cals)
tiny splash of imitation vanilla extract (2 cals?)
8 drops of liquid sucralose (0 cals)
entire tray of ice cubes
Blend all of that until the ice is crushed up, scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Add 28g of Quest salted caramel (100 cals)
Blend on high for 1 minute. Stop and stir a little, and scrape down the sides of the blender again. Blend for another 10-20 seconds. Once it rises and thickens really nicely its done.
And the second one. I have not tried this one.
Protein powder ice cream
If you have a blender you can make protein ice cream, one serving fills a giant mixing bowl.
60 ml sugar free maple syrup
120 ml unsweetened almond milk
30g protein powder (recommend chocolate or cookies n cream)
Entire tray of ice cubes
3g xanthan gum (add last)
Add everything to the blender except the xanthan gum and let it go on pulse or high for 2-3 minutes until your ice is completely crushed up and you see an ice cream texture. Then add the xanthan gum and go another 20-30 seconds or so on low. I've found that if you over mix the xanthan gum you will get more of a whipped texture than an ice cream texture.
Pour into your giant mixing bowl and squeal in excitement at how much ice cream you get to eat
Top with more syrup and a few crushed up cookies or pb2.. whatever you have the calories for.
150-160 calories depending on PP used and topping.

Good day, new to the site, 64 years young and down to 160 lbs (for 1 year) from 235 lbs. I was a yo-yo dieter all my life but luckily found a way to get to my goal. When I learned to sleep 8 to 9 hours a day, it became a lot easier to get motivated, not to mention a heart condition brought on mostly by over indulging. For me going from 3 to 5 hours sleep to 8 to 9 hours allowed me to have the energy to exersize and eat properly. It’s been a journey, but it certainly feels good to be able to control what I eat and how much. So to make a long story short, there are many factors leading to overweight, but there are triggers that if you can discover what they are, it will make the journey easier. Good luck on your journey, I certainly can relate.6

Hi, all! I turned 57 this month. I've been on MFP for a number of years and have lost 55-60 pounds, but I need to get back on track.
My doctor would like me under 120 pounds. Currently, I keep going up and down between 130 and 135. It's time to break this pattern! 2 -

I've never considered that sleep would make a difference in weight loss, but it makes total sense. A person would be able to make better decisions about what and how much to eat if they're well rested. I'll keep that in mind going forward! Thanks so much! Good luck all, and have a great day!!1 -

Hi Mary! Thanks so much for your comments! I had forgotten the "diet soup", how could I??? LOL That's a good one--I'll make some this weekend with some leftover cole slaw mix. I love the shredded cabbage and carrots in the soup--makes it even more delicious! Please add me as a friend! I'd add you, but I'm not very good at doing that yet. Have a great day!! 1 -

Good morning everyone...I am so proud of myself. Yesterday wanted to make that "diet" soup so measured all the ingredients into it so I could attempt to find out how many calories,fat,carbs etc. was in it. So under the food title went to recipes and posted the ingredients and their amounts and figured the pot held enough for 4 portions at 2 cups per portion. Well.....it figured out for me the calories, fats etc. for each of the ingredients...... then gave me the nutritional info per portion....wow!!! and once I saved the recipe, I can go back to edit the ingredients or portions. Now I can go back and tweak the recipe according to what I have on hand. I found out the soup was delicious and 2 cups was way too much and a 8 oz. cup of this soup was only 99 calories with 10 carbs. This time put tiny meatballs, mushrooms, green peppers, cabbage, broccoli and diced tomatoes and tomato sauce in it along with the shirataki noodles. What a great idea about just using the coleslaw mix in it...going to try that next for even less carbs. The reason I am so proud is I am NOT computer saavy...know my few things and that's it...a little skitish to try new things so this to me was big. LOL I think I will be having this soup in some form for a little while as I think this week was not good almost do not want to have a weigh in tomorrow in fear of what it will show. Damn those chocolates and Christmas cookies for talking me into eating them. LOL Debking...I am with you have no idea how to friend...will wait for my daughter or a grand daughter to come over and show me. Have a nice day. Mary, Ontario, Canada6

Feeling motivated by all your stories. I'm 60, lost 50 lbs in the last few years but have put a lot back on. I'm starting a swimming challenge in January and am just going to get back on the plan. I will NOT buy bigger sized clothes😊3

Good morning......well just as I thought did my weekly weigh in and sure enough 2 lbs up for last week. But will not get discouraged as all the Christmas goodies are gone and it will be nice to get back to normal routine after New Years day. The swimming challenge sounds great. We are lucky enough to live across from a Recreation centre and they have "seniors leisure swim" every day from 12:30 to 1:30 and besides the large pool also have a smaller 4 foot deep warmer pool where most of us seniors do what exercises works for each. It amazes me what one can move in the water and not on land (as I call it). It's great as I can walk out to the pool area with my walker and they have the handicap rails so I feel safe. I feel so good after doing leg and arm exercises as well as jogging in the water. My husband and I try to go 2x a week so will be good when the normal schedule is back on Jan. 2nd. Looking forward to going to Myrtle Beach for month of Feb. and as I use a walker now will be able to walk more comfortably there, it's my 1st winter using a walker and here in Canada I don't get out much due to snow and ice. Like you ybeavis1.......I will not be discouraged because hoping a weight loss will help me to continue to walk even with a walker is better than not. I've just started myself late October and I have 52 lbs still to go for my 1st goal and you have worked too hard to rid of your 50 to put them back. Go at them girl. LOL Mary from Ontario, Canada2

Bless you Mary!! Yes the more you lose the easier it should be to get around! I always envision for every 5 pounds lost, that's a whole bag of sugar I don't have to carry around anymore!!! You'll feel lighter in no time with your daily swims!! Good for you!! Keep up the good work my friend!!

I'm well over 60 (69 years old to be exact) and I'm currently in maintenance going on 4 years now. It took me 15 months to lose 50 lbs. It can be done. What's worked for me is counting calories in and calories out by logging every bite, taste, lick of food to measure calories in and a Fitbit to measure calories out. Now that I'm in maintenance I still do both. As I lost weight, I had more energy and became more active. I don't follow any specific diet plan, eating anything I want using portion control to fit my calorie allowance. My activities include low impact cardio, light weights, Tai Chi, and Yoga stretching. All very doable for us seniors. I'm just trying to stay vertical well into my 70s and beyond.9
