I am new here and hope this is an active group. As I am approaching retirement I want to work on myself. Trying to lose weight after 60 has been a struggle. My doctor has put me on Phentermine to help me establish better habits and today was my first day.
Hello! This is my umpteenth but possibly most important and last bash at Losing Weight. I'm 69, live in Norfolk UK. I am 5'5" and weigh in today at 89 kilos. Aaarrggghh! Horrible to see it in writing, but you will get my drift! Now classified as OBESE. Got to face it. I need to get down to around 70 kilos I think. Any…
I'm over 70, have a daughter and a son ( who is deceased) 5 grand-children ( and one deceased) and 3 great-grand-children with #4 on the way My husband and I live and love our home. We both want to lose weight as we are both obese but this is more pressing for me as I await surgery - delayed by Corona Virus. I love to…
How much time do I have left? Well, that depends on if you are like me sitting all day, not getting off the couch and eating all the wrong things. I used this Lifespan Calculator and answered all the questions truthfully the first time. I then answered the same questions by changinging the things I can control like diet…
Hi. My name is George and I'm 70 and over weight. When I got on the scale this morning it said 250. I gained 25 pounds over the holidays when I relaxed my eating habits.

Hi, just turned 70 and have struggled with loss and gains for years. Have several health problems and I am determined to change my poor habits. Started a low sodium program on advice of my doctor and doing yoga and recumbent bike riding. The exercise is not easy but I keep plugging away. Trying to keep a positive attitude…
Hi all. Glad to find a group for our age group. I'm in my mid 70s, and continue to be active both physically and professionally (I'm a coach) and would love to discuss ways to keep motivated to do regular exercises and eating the right foods. There is longevity in my family, so most likely I will be around for many more…
...and starting on a low-carb way of eating. I would like to loose 150 pounds.
I'd love to find a place to meet and chat with friends my own age. On a side note, I'd surely appreciate any friend requests! :)
I try to get myself out of the house in the am, but unless I have a date with a friend or a class appointment, going for a walk or doing anything else is difficult. I'm not very self-motivated. It's so easy to be on the computer or do the crossword. Having an errand is somewhat helpful. I'd like to have a simple routine…
