Exactly like heart fit says! I'm 63,5 foot tall and have lost 59 pounds since March.Log and weigh. Find an exercise you like, it doesn't have to be extreme, I only walk 2 miles a day and do a few upper body exercises.It has to be a lifestyle change.Also remember we are short, those portion sizes listed on most labels are…

I'm 5'0 ,I started at 191 last March.Im down to 134 as of today.Still a little to go.Im also a lot older than you ,if I can do it anyone can.Its definately CICO.I walk only for exercise, usually 2 miles a day.My husband is a " power eater " too.My advice,weigh everything, log everything! I'm sure you can do it!

We go places a lot, my husband likes fast food. I discovered the fast food places will sell you the kids meal,just don't eat the fries,get the fruit or yogurt instead it looks ridiculous when I'm sitting there eating 4 chicken nuggets and apple slices.But I have never gained when we come back. It's truly CICO! At chicken…

I use it all the time,high in sodium but I make low cal soups with it.I think they make a low sodium version but I cant find it.Definately better than regular bullion cubes.

You look great, very inspiring!

I'm very cranky, spent the night sleeping on my MIL's couch.shes sick needed someone to stay. Whole apt smells like wierd old lady powder, it's 100 degrees in here. There are friggin lace dollies everywhere. I'm dying.....,need air but god forbid I would open a window.

Hey,my husbands whole family snickered about my food scale and food weighing. Well 50 pounds lost, no ones snickering now! Use that scale! As for your mom, my mom was very mean at times too. Develope a thick skin and don't let it hurt you. We are all here for you in this community! Carry on.
-
Awesome! I have similar stats and goals! You are inspiring!
-
No,used mine several times over the last few days.not sure why your wouldn't work.
-
Yes, it was the best getting out of plus sizes.It was horrible getting anything to fit as I am short.great going!!!!

Im 5 ' tall, started at 191 in March,down to 158 today.I walk for exercise 3 miles a day. I follow 1200 calories a day and eat half my exercise calories.Get a scale, weigh everything, log everything and the plan will work!

I watch TV series. Game of Thrones is the best,nothing like watching an arm or something get lopped off to distract one from treadmill boredom.

Ah,he obviously has issue with his " kitten" Trust me.Its good he's gone,he would have tortured you to no end with criticism.

Omg, let's not make this that hard....

Hips for some wierd reason

Bump

Wow,just wow! Made me smile today! Way to go.

I also recommend drinking it black. You will need a good coffee. I home roast my own using a hot air popcorn popper- takes 10 minutes to roast fresh coffee for 10 days. It's sweeter and less bitter, makes Starbucks taste terrible.

Dont worry,I have lost 26 lbs in 90 days.Im very short and sedentary.Read the most helpful posts, get a scale and start! I was a nurse too and found being numbers oriented really helped. I bet you do fine! Many , many people are here to help.I was about your weight when I started too. .

My day got better from reading this!

I'm 5' even, yep, 2.7 mph is all I can do on the treadmill too.My hubby doesn't understand why I can't keep up with him.I would love to join the group.
-
You are my inspiration! I have similar stats! You look great!

You are probably overeating. I'm 5 tall,older,pretty sedentary. I eat 1200 cals per day, weigh and track everything. I have lost 2o lbs in about 70 days.use a scale, don't trust the package labels.I pretty much eat anything, just limit portions.
-
Awesome!

Fleet Feet is one,they have a stores in Columbus and few other cities.Most larger areas have specialized running stores.In in Virginia we have Virginia Runner. They sell all kinds of athletic shoes. The small specialty stores are better with advice and fitting. My stepdaughter was having all kinds of trouble with her feet…

Hello,I'm 62, loosing steadily.Ive not had any issues.I exercise lightly. I do believe in weighing everything in grams. I'm also only 5 foot tall, retired. If I can do it,anyone can.Track everything.dont use cups to measure, weigh.I eat exactly what my family does with a little modification ,I just eat less.Watch that…
-
Watch your salt intake too.evertime I go over the MFP sodium recommended I gain. I personally am very sensitive to too much sodium.
-
Keep trying foods you initially don't like, I have learned to love plain unsalted boiled Brussels sprouts.eating slowly,really tasting the food.Pitcher of water on the counter to drink all day.Alpine light hot apple cider at night cures my sugar craving.I weigh everything and log everything.It gets faster.Advoid eating…
-
Don't know how you feel about artificial sweeteners but that Alpine Light hot apple cider really helped me till I got over the evening sweet call. Believe 1 pack was like 15 calories, I had it at night for a few weeks.it is intensely sweet.Found it in the tea isle.Remember the cravings will diminish, it did for me.
-
I agree weighing food in grams was my secret. Don't trust the box labels.
