I use my iphone. He has a very old fitbit that hangs on his belt and an iphone and an apple watch.

At age 60 I went to my first OA meeting, after having struggled with binging and extreme dieting and everything in between since I was 15 years old. In my 40s, with no support and no diet plan, I finally found my own internal solutions and stopped all binging, changed up my diet and slowly (3 pounds a month for two full…

Oops, I just saw that you specifically wanted success stories! Mine is a success story at excepting myself for where I am at. :P

Rockyniki, I have always been a pretty good loser, in fact, I lost 75 pounds in my mid-40s and kept it off for an entire decade. But after taking a medication known to cause weight gain, I have not been able to lose a pound--I was on it for a year and gained 10 in that time even with trying hard not to. And in the 1.5…

Thanks to everyone who offered me such good feedback and encouragement. It certainly helps to have a group of women my generation who are actively working on fitness and health. And boy, what a busy message board—four pages of comments in one day! Here’s a little more of my history. I’ve suffered with disordered eating…

Hi all, I could use some feedback from all you successful "over 50" losers! I just turned 60 this year and am on my usual summer "shape up." I managed to gain another five pounds this past school year. Ugh. So, along with the 25 I've gained over the past five years or so, it aint pretty! The last time I attempted to lose…

I have the same problem, my husband and I walk together and his fitbit comes back with about .2% more steps than mine in spite of him being taller with longer legs (and should therefore need less steps in the same distance). This has been true through two sets of fitbits. I have no idea why.

It would be nice to have a partner to go through this journey with, but in the end, you are going to do it or you aren't. Personally, I've only found stress when trying to work with a partner or friend in weight loss. My husband can eat a ton more food than I can, if he cuts back a tablespoon or two of peanut butter he'll…

Fruit makes me so hungry. Almost more than candy does. I think it might be because there is no fat to balance it. If you've been eating a lot of fruit, that might be contributing to your current hunger. Give it another week, maybe with less fruit, and see if that helps.

Thanks for posting because I have just gone through the exact same experience. Logging every little tic tac, keeping well within my target number (1200), feeling confident, staying off the scale so I wouldn't be stressing over every little ounce….and in two weeks I lost .4 pounds! Not even half a pound. I could not believe…

My youngest daughter was getting fatter and fatter, she was my little eating/baking buddy, you know? I finally had the insight that I was willing to ruin my own precious daughter's life so that I could eat a bunch of crap. Let's see….my daughter or a friggin' cookie? Let's think about that again…Purposefully sentencing my…

I was a lifelong binge eater, weight got up to over 250 pounds and stayed there for almost a decade. Lost 75 pounds, three pounds a month for two years, then maintained that for the past 12 years with one 25 pound gain after ten years of maintenance. I lost that 25 and have kept it off again. I'm 57 now and it is harder…

That I literally could NOT control my compulsions to eat. Did not believe it was possible. Total and complete hopelessness. The truth I finally figured out was that I just really really really didn't want to stop my compulsive eating, in spite of it almost ruining my life.
