At least 60 years old or older

Starting this group is for people that are at least 60 and looking to change bad habits to become healthier. I am 65 years old, retired and looking for friends that want to join my journey.

The older we get the harder it can be to lose weight and exercise. Join me to discuss your struggles and your accomplishments.

How old are you and…
How old are you and where are you from? I am 65 and I live near Jay Oklahoma. Two years ago my husband and I moved from California to Oklahoma for a variety of reasons. Mainly because of family and the age of my living parents and my disabled younger sister. I learned how to cook with lots of fat and very little veggies.

Any trail runners in this group?
I am training for the Moab Trail Marathon held November 2 & 3, 2024. My life has been characterized by a lack of discipline, so I hired a running coach. Even though I have not followed her plan exactly, I already feel better. Are there any other trail runners in this group?
Elderly parents
I have been back and forth to the hospital all week. First with my dad then my mom. I am not at home I am helping my parents. I have made bad eating choices and will not weigh until next week.
When you feel like binge eating?
I’m guilty of comfort eating. What do you do to stop yourself?
What is your favorite breakfast?
Mine is oatmeal jars. I place 1/2 cup oatmeal, tablespoon of peanut butter and a 1/4 of a cup of Great Value cranberry, almonds and cashews. Easy to make worth 399 calories and holds me over to lunch.
How do you sleep? Tips helpful
My sleep 💤 pattern is horrendous. My body needs loads but my brain won’t switch off. What do you do
Company guest etc
I have had family staying with me for over a week. It has been difficult to chart anything including exercise. Has anyone else run into the same problem?
Packed lunches for seniors. What do you recommend?
I like to walk and I’ve challenged myself to eventually complete the 115 mile coastal path in 5 mile stages.. Potato crisps and chocolate bars will become too moreish if I have one.
Saving meals?
Is anyone using the save meals function on MyFitnessPal app? I have not been a member very long and continue to repeat some meals. If I have input a group of food and it works for me I go back and add it as a saved meal. It then places that meal in my food journal and if I had cucumbers for that meal but do not have any it…
