I have MS. I just started physical therapy. I do the bicycle everyday. I do situps and leg lifts as best I can. I already lost the weight I wanted to. I am 5’9” and 128 lbs. My partner is working to get in shape so I have company in my efforts.

Name: Carolyn Age: 66 Height: 5’9” Total weight lost: 50 lbs Time to lose: about a year How long maintenance: about 6 mo Maintenance weight range: 125 - 127 lbs Ave. weight recorded in last 12 mos: 126 Ave. weight recorded so far in Feb: 126.5 I have started eating a lot if sugar again, but am still staying in my calorie…

I am 66 in a wheelchair and I maintain with very little exercise.

I have been here over a year and I am successfully maintaining. I would love to have you as a friend. I have lost 50 lbs.

I am 5’9” and 62 yrs. I currently weigh 127.8 lbs. I said my goal was 127, but I am trying to get to 125 for a cushion. I was there a month ago, but had a birthday and starting eating desserts. I am back to strict calorie counting and eating more veggies.

I am 66 and in a wheelchair with MS. I am 5’9” and maintaining at 127. I don’t exercise that much and am in a size 10. I am glad to be the same size from one month to the next.

I count calories daily and it has been working for me. I am amazed that it has worked so well.

P.S. Eating 1200 cal/day.

I am 5'9", weigh 131. I am 65 and in a wheelchair. I am maintaining at 131 for several months.

I am at maintenance range. I have MS. I use a walker/wheelchair. My partner got me an exercise bicycle. I didn't think I would be able to manage it, but with the help of my arms, I can. I started at 5 minutes and have decided to work up to 15 minutes a day. I am excited about the possibility of figuring out how to walk…

Name: Carolyn Height: 5'9" Age: 65 Total weight loss: 41 Time it took: 15 months Length in maintenance: 1 month Maintenance weight: 134 May 15: 133.6 May 20: 132.8

I am maintaining at 134. I just started this challenge. I don't know what I am doing. I guess I will weigh once a week and hope for the best. As long as I log my food, I should be able to see when I am eating too much.

I just count calories and assume everything is okay. I don't weigh everyday. I just weigh whenever. I don't worry about water, etc.

Yes. I don't know what I am doing. I am now 5'9" and 134 lbs. My boyfriend says stop losing. I don't know how to eat to now.

I am 5'9" and 135. I wear size 12 pants. I have MS and don't exercise. If I did, I am sure I would be in a smaller size.

Name: Carolyn How much lost: 40 lbs Time to lose: 15 months How long in maintenance: 0 Maintenance range: 130 - 135 lbs. March 31: 135 lbs. Success/Struggles: I have never been able to maintain a weight loss. I hope joining this group will help.

I have the understanding that grapefruit gets your liver into a fat burning mode.

Mini candy bars, flavored water mostly, but I don't go over my calorie goal.

I think eating a grapefruit for breakfast helps with weight loss. I am on thyroid meds, am 65, in a wheelchair, am 5'9" and weigh 138.

Try eating a grapefruit for breakfast.

I weigh myself infrequently, but find having a scale helpful. I like to know where I stand.

I don't deprive myself of anything. I just stay in my calorie allowance. I am now 138 at 5'9".

As long as you stick to your calorie goal, you will eventually shed pounds.

I was diagnosed in 2003, but had symptoms since 1990. I have lost weight sticking to the calorie goals. I take an MS pill and vitamin D everyday. Good luck!

I am 65 and in a wheelchair w/MS. I stick to my calorie goal and don't worry about it. I lost 37 lbs. I am 5'9" and weigh 138. If I can do it, so can you.

I am 65 and am in a wheelchair with MS. I lost 35 lbs so far. I am 5'9" and weigh 138.2 lbs. I keep under 1200 calories and eat sweet things if I want to. I am not in a hurry. My goal weight is 125.

I think losing weight that quickly might damage your health. If you are on a forever kind of program, taking longer seems okay.

I am 5'9" and have lost 35 lbs. I am currently 138.2 lbs. Just stick to your calorie goal. Slowly it will come off. Good luck!
