I managed to lose 70lbs in about 9 months. i lost on an average of 2 lbs a week. All i did was stick to my colories go to the gym 2 times a week and swim. I will be 69 in september and feel like 40!!

i am so sorry i missed noon, have been at work all day. I will hold PETRA in my prayers and ask God to watch over her.

i am 5'1" and when i started mfp weighed 179 lbs. and wore a size 20!! i have lost all the weight i want to lose (61 lbs.) i now weigh 119 and wear a size 8!! i am almost 69 years old and now feel like 30!!! i swim and workout 3 times a week. hope this helped you!

Hi, i am 68 going on 69 and have been on mfp for almost 2 years. i have lost all of the weight i wanted to lose and am now on maintanance. it's really not as hard as you think to lose weight even at our age. just stick with the calories and do a little exercise a few times a week. i was able to lose 2 lbs. a week on my…

i am almost 69 and have been on mfp for almost 2 years. age has nothing to do with how you lose weight. i lost 61lbs on mfp and about another 9lbs before i joined. i have lost a total of 70lbs and all in about 8 or 9 months. You have to "move" to stay young! i am on maintanence now and work out 3 times a week and swim at…

My starbucks coffee with half & half, i am a zombie without my coffee!!

what is your dosage? i went from .150 to .125 and now i am taking .100 so i also have had 2 dose changes. give it about a week and if you still feel bad tell your doctor. if you are not satisfied find a specialist.

hi steff, i also have had my synthroid decreased by my doctor last year!! i freaked out!! i had the biggest argument with him but he wouldn't budge!! after a week of adjustment i did settle in, so just wanted you to know it will be ok. your body just has to re-adjust to the lower dose. good luck and i'm pullin' for ya!!

hi, i would say because of the rough terrain it would be considered hiking. just the fact that your thighs hurt afterwards tells me you are working very hard! if you were walking you would not ache as much and probably not sweat as much either. anyway good luck on those hour hikes. they sound like a calorie burner to…

i know it sounds rediculously low for 200 lbs. but if you do some research into your food you will find it will work for you. i don't know what kind of food you are used to eating but if you adjust it a bit you will see a dramatic change in your weight very quicky and you will not be starving. here are a few products that…

hi there! just wanted you to know you are not alone on this journey. i am a 67 year old grandmother and have lost 58lbs. on mfp and believe me if i can do it you can too!! first thing is "you have to move" walk, exercise videos, yard work, anything that gets your heart rate up. then you need to stick to your calorie intake…

the way i was able to lose my weight was simply staying within my calories (or just under) lots of water and watch your fat and sugar. protein is a fat burner so eat foods with plenty of protein (in moderation of course).such as chicken, egg whites and lots of veggies. exercise for at least 30 minutes 3 times a week.

hello and welcome! you are going to love it here! the suport is fantastic, and everyone is great. just stay with the program and you will see results very quickly!

what you need is 3 meals a day! especially a good breakfast ie. eggs, english muffin, 1/2c cold cerial and put butter and jelly on the muffin, lunch, maybe soup, a few crackers, and a light desert (jello, 100 cal snack pack), dinner veggies, 4 oz. chicken or pork chops 1 small red potato, something light for desert like…

hello stephanie, you will find mfp to be very easy to do! just keep track of your calories and try to get a few days of exercise in, ie. (take the baby for a 20 minute walk)or walk with an ipod and listen to your favorite music. that's it! your body will do the rest trust me! i also have been overweight most of my life…

protein builds muscle so it is actually ok to go over your protein. i do every day since i found egg beater eggs! i was never a breakfast eater,but since i've been on mfp i have had to be creative with my food and started eating them. so right after breakfast i am already over my protein! as you exercise and work out your…

hi again. i am 67 years old and have lost 36lbs. my goal is 45lbs! and it only took me from mid july to now to lose that weight! i am very active for my age i go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and work in a garden center. all you need to do is keep your calories in check and get some kind of exercise a few times a week and…

hi, i never did a food lok either till i found this site, it's great! after strugglling with my weight for years i have managed to lose 36lbs. on here and am almost at my goal of 45lbs. just watch the food you put in your mouth and login faithfully every day and you will be amazed how fast you wil start to lose the pounds!…

absolutely! i work in a garden center and walk and lift all day long. i usually guesstimate my walking time as about 2 hrs. this will burn at least 275 to 350 calories depending how much effort you put into it. it's exercise no matter where you are as long as you are moving and exerting.

Ii know exactly how you feel! i just dropped from a 18 to a 14! congrats keep up the good work and pretty soon you will be in a 10!!:love:
