Men Over Fifty Weight Loss

Thanks for starting this thread! I am 59 years old staring at 60 in a few months and several years back when I started focusing on my health, I topped out at roughly 162 lbs. That may not sound like much, but I am a small guy at 5' 3" and 162 lbs is a lot on my frame. I stay in the mid 120's now which is where my body feels at its best. My healthy diet and exercise routines have come and gone at different times, but I still trend in the right direction. I try to stay fit and keep the fat trimmed. Right now, that's a 30 to 40-minute workout that starts at 4:15 AM 3 or 4 days during the week and about 1.5 hours on Saturday. My wife does a great job at keeping our healthy eating habits on track, but I still enjoy I still enjoy a good glass of wine or tequila when the mood hits. When my habits are good, the exceptions do not bother me and my body pretty much shrugs them off. It's the journey after all that matters!

Thanks for starting the group! I'm 57, I diet, lose weight just to gain it back. I'm looking to lose 55 lb. My wife also helps me eat healthy and I love exercising, just got my sling off from rotator cuff surgery so looking forward to get back in the gym and start with cardio first. My issue is late night eating, snacking and having a few beers watching sports and eating when I travel for work. Decided this weekend it was time to make some serious changes to help reach my goal. Glad to be part of the group!

Just turned 53 a little over a month back.

Can stand to be doing better nutrition wise, but doing pretty good these days at maintaining. I hit 177 last year(actually hit 169 / intense sweaty run, but hydrated back to normal weight). It seems that my body wants to stay between 178-185.
I’m 6 ft , but folks assume I’m lighter by my appearance. Typically folks think I weigh 10-20 lbs less.

By end of this month will be cutting back(not quitting) on the adult beverages. I may make an attempt to hit 170 and try to add about 10 lbs of muscle.

I think I’m going to suit up. It’s Wednesday and temp is not horrible and I customarily try to do a hump day 10k. Been doing slow long tread sessions to deal with tender ankle. Will see how I feel once I’m actually out the door. Would be happy with a 4 mile run.

Good morning gents! Been a bit of struggle in August. Spent the majority of the time traveling, which equals bad eating at dinners, etc.. and little exercise. Got home from CA yesterday and looking forward to getting back on track starting today!
