I am 4 pounds away from 300 which is the initial goal I set back in April when I was 345. Once 300 is met, I will set a goal of 280 and then every 20 pounds will be a goal after that to get to 180ish. My health, how I look, mental outlook is so much better than it was. Mini goals are important as they are tangible and help…

Hi My name is Jamie. I'm 59 years old. Just a bit about myself. I've struggled with weight all my life. I was fortunate that I loved playing sports when I was a youngster/teenager. Hockey during the winter, football in the summer and fall so it helped keep my weight in check. As a young adult going to collage and then…

As part of my routine, I do try to bike everyday for 30 minutes. Have lost around 35 pounds in the last 3 1/2 months. Its not the only thing I'm doing but I have seen improvements in how I bike. My indoor bike only tracks calories and distance. There is no resistance but frankly one does not need that. When I started I…

Its realistic for me to get to 300 pounds by mid to late September. Been averaging just over 2 pounds per week and have lost 25 pounds over that last 2 months. That is the mini goal I am chasing.

I just read an article about losing weight after 60 (Im 59). The only thing that I could find that really is an age thing is that our metabolism slows down as we age. However, if we eat a healthy diet and we do exercise (both cardio and strength), we will lose weight and gain muscle. Thankfully, I do see that as I'm in the…

I started in earnest almost 60 days ago. Lost over 20 lbs so far and I can feel the difference. I'm 58 and have to develop better eating habits and getting back to being more active than I have been. I love this app as I have been looking to lose 2 lbs per week and keeping track of what I eat has been very beneficial. I've…

I like the scale I use. It is a digital scale from a manufacturer called Taylors. Bought at Walmart. What I like is that I stand straight looking forward until the scale beeps and it shows my weight for a few seconds even when I step off. It has a wide base so I don't feel I'm hugging the edge. I also bought it where the…

I prefer to weigh myself once a week as my goal is to lose my weight gradually so I don't expect major changes each day. There is no right or wrong here. Whatever makes you happy.

My goal is 200 pounds as well. I Started out at 330 in late summer 2013 and I'm 285. Its slow but that is ok, I'm healthier for it. I appreciate this tool for helping me keep what I eat in check. Its been a big difference for me..along with the stationary biking and free weights. Keep up the good work Gentlemen..and…
