Over 3 years ago I decided it was time to make a change. In 8months I had made a complete change and lost over 80 lbs. When I left here I was at 123 lbs. A lot changed for me from losing my job I had for16 yrs. to being unemployed for 4 1/2 months. Starting a new job and moving to a different town. I have always been a…

It started out that I needed to for health reasons now its for me. I can't say I feel better because I never felt bad when I was heavy. What I can say is that I feel better about myself. Plus I am enjoying wearing clothes that actually look good on me.

I went from a tight size 20 to a comfortable size six. If I did it anyone can. I did it without sacrificing my favorite foods. I just cut back less salt less sugars and added fruits and vegies.

I'm Nancy from northern Idaho. I will be turning 62 in May and try to walk 3-4 miles each day. I have started doing a little jogging but really enjoy the walking. We have no walking paths so I walk the streets but do not stop on any corners. My walks are up and down hills as there is not a lot of flat ground. I accept the…

I walk.

Good for you. I am 61 and had potential health problems. I decided to change things around and I have. I am no longer taking any medication. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. It can be at any age. It gets easier as you go and I have noticed so many benefits. I can now get down on the floor and get up with out any…

When I get depressed and want to eat I usually go for a walk listening to my music. Its then I do my best thinking. I also chew sugar free gum when I get a sugar craving.

I have lost my weight of about 75 lbs. without counting calories. I know what I can eat and can't and how much.

I am 5' 51/2" and weigh 124 and would like to get to a 120 lbs.

My goal is 5 lbs but would like to do it in the next 6 weeks. I will continue at 1200 calories exercising and eating at a deficit.

I lost 73 lbs. in 81/2 months. Losing weight was not the only benefit as I am now no longer on any medication.

I have been and still in the same boat. I lost my job after 16 yrs and at my age it is hard to find another. I wasn't exercising like I should. I wasn't gaining any weight but felt like I was. I decided I wasn't going to let my ex boss win at everything. Got up last week and said if I was going to do this I would be the…

I am also on low sodium. I found that preparing my own food is the easiest. They put salt in everything from Jello to chicken, even fresh chicken. I watch the labels. you can't get away from it but you can definitely reduce it. I use a lot of Mrs. Dash., they have a lot of different seasonings. I watch the labels on all…

I'm 61 and have lost 73 lbs.so far and have kept it off. It is hard no matter what age but it can be done.

I have lost 73 lbs. I attribute it to the fact I cut out the salt and sugars. Quit drinking diet soda or caffene and drink lots of water. I also exercise on a regular basis and lift weights. I hardly ever buy prepared foods anymore and make most from scratch so I can control the ingredients. I haven't done away with much…

Try to get back to exercising more. Walking and lifting weights. There is always some excuse its to cold, I'm depressed. Its time to forget the excuses and make myself do it.

You can add me. I would like to lose 5 more lbs. and it doesn't seem to be happening.

My husband and I went to the community Christmas Dinner and ran into a gentleman that used to be one of the customers I waited on when I was working. I had put on a new sweater that I bought too wear for Christmas. We were talking and he stopped for a minute and than said you look really nice today. It made my day.

For my health no longer on medication for blood pressure or diabetes. Plus I love the results.

I would like to lose another 5 lbs. and continue improving my health. I hope to be able to continue exercising and getting in better shape.

Eat smaller portions and eat the healthier food instead of the cookies and cakes. A small cookie occasionally within your calorie goal is not going to hurt. Don't let guilt get to you if you do go over as the holidays come around but once a year.

Set several goals write them down than work toward them. When you find yourself getting to those goals you will be amazed and will keep you going Everyone has to start somewhere so start slow and eventually you will actually learn to enjoy them. My exercise time has now become my time to myself to think and enjoy myself.

I am 61 and have lost my weight. The main thing was watching what I ate reducing salt intake and I also quit drinking diet soda. I exercise daily and drink plenty of water.
