I have had a weight problem for years, and need to have a structured plan to follow. The myfitnesspal.com plan seems ideal as it gives me a way to track everything that I stick into my mouth on my iPhone. Due to some physical problems my exercising will somewhat limited, so I will have to concentrate on diet.

Thank you so much for developing this website, Mike!

    Welcome old timer from this oldie but goodie! Congratulations on making the decision to get healthy. That is a big step! I am 61 and have lost 97 pounds to date. You CAN do it! Your ability to exercise will improve as the pounds come off. Diets don't work, but this lifestyle change is rewarding. Good luck, Laura.

    Welcome from another oldie but goodie! I'm 62 and have been trying to lose weight for years now. Up three down three!! Feel like a roller coaster. Joined this to see if it will help. I like what granngethealthy said about lifestyle changes vs dieting. That may be my problem. Sharon

    Welcome senior citizen..I am 65 and have been here since January, 2011. Lost 30 lbs here then summer came and gained a few. Now I have joined challenge till Christmas and have lost the few plus with that. I am able to exercise and find that I can do more with each lb lost. I have read that weight loss is 80% food and 20% exercise so if you can only move you legs or your arms or maybe lift a 2 pound dumbbell while sitting, you will find that correcting your eating habits will bring you some weight loss. Good luck, we are all here to help you. Friend me if I can help you.
