Hi Ben from Montreal...... I am Jean from the North of England......started running last September - I am 62 so just double your age hence my times are rather slower than yours....lol........ 5k .... 35 minutes 10k ... one hour and 17 mins :ohwell: Not envisaging running any further but maybe work on the times...just good…

Hi Dave..... I have recently got up to running 10k...not a race - just for myself..but for a 62 year old who has just been running for 7 months I am chuffed to bits with myself! Loving running! I'm from West Yorkshire too so good luck to a fellow Tyke Jean

I started running when I was 62....... last year.....my first 5k was 37 minutes and my best time is 34 ........ not races, just pounding the streets by myself

Went to a new park to run...I usually chose flat/downhill courses as much as possible..this was tougher as the park was on a slope so was up and down to do a couple of circuits....... so no records broken but was pleased to do two miles!

Well done on overcoming so many obstacles...you are truly an inspiration to all....... good luck with the future ... best wishes to you and thank you for sharing....hopefully many people will take heart from your amazing story and realise how much can be achieved! Jean

I left WW too....but only because I was almost at goal but needed a change...plus WW was expensive and the Database was not that good....... I think a change gives us a boost - these diets based on lifestyle changes all seem to work but I get bored and need a kick up the backside now and again........ plus I find it more…

Good luck to you...... and yes - you are doing this for your son , but also for yourself...think of all the important events to come in his life ... you need to be there for his first day at school, hid first football match, his first girlfriend, his prom, graduation, wedding...your grandkids......and then when he has…

Onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, tinned tomatoes, pasta, eggs, chicken .. lots of ways to throw something quick and healthy together with these.....

I have over 50 hand bags I started learning to play guitar at 58 I love to walk I love coffee shops and reading while I have my coffee I got a tattoo when I was 60 ...and beaches...I love beaches!

The day I realised I weighed more than I did just before I gave birth to my babies.......:noway: Jean

Yorkshire here...... feel free to add me Jean

Yorkshire here....feel free to add me Jean

Hi there...I am 61 and recently joined here to lose my last few pounds...... would love to be friends - and also would be interested in an over 60's group......even though I don't feel over 60!!!! :bigsmile: Jean

Fabulous...you must be so proud...shout it from the roof tops!

I think that's really great....well done!

Hi...recently joined with just the last few pounds to shake off....feel free to add me....all friends together must surely mean success Jean

Read the rest of my post ....lol

Hi....alcohol is wasting calories - but it is soooo worth it! Haha! I try to have at least three days a week alcohol free and only have at the most a couple of glasses of wine when I do drink.......it's about moderation not giving up...after all - this is a way of life we have to maintain so it has to be reasonable, doable…

I walk every day....and the best thing was buying a pedometer ... it makes me walk further and gives me a target to aim for..... might not be as energetic as some forms of exercise...but it is doable......and it is easy to stick to.......... and I absolutely believe it works!

Hi Robyn...I joined this week too...to get back on track and to lose a few more pounds..... feel free to add me as a friend.. Good luck Jean

well done Andrew ... and what a sock in the face for that person ...haha! I just have a few pounds to lose but joined up here this week hoping it would be a boost for me to get back on track......... and I think it will... Good luck with your efforts Jean

Hi Whitney....... I am at home most of the day too ...my go to exercise is walking........ easy to do and I really do think it makes a difference....... certainly a good place to start before moving on to something more energetic......... Good luck with your efforts........ Jean

Welcome Jess..... and well done for deciding to lose weight and get healthy...... good luck with your efforts Jean

Hi there - I am 61 and trying to stay young ...... just a few pounds to lose really...add me as a friend and maybe we can help each other along.... Jean

With me it kind of creeps back on if I waver ....... so try to keep it under control within a few pounds of goal......... Good luck to you........... Jean

When I realised I weighed more than I did years ago when I was about to give birth I decided that the weight had gradually crept on and that if I didn't do something about it it would continue creeping..........

Hi there - I joined yesterday for the same reason...I have just a few pounds to lose but have been stuck since Christmas....hoping this excellent site and programme will kick start me again......... good luck for those last few pounds.... Jean

Welcome Shannon...this is my second day.......really liking the site...the database is so comprehensive and the site works very well.........and there are lots of people to give you tips and encouragment..... Good luck Jean

Hi there.....you are going to do great here.....love your attitude...."I will post my success...." So many cool reasons to do this........ your whole life in front of you ..... how exciting for you! Jean

Hi there and a huge Well Done........ I am close to goal too........ you have done really well to lose weight while at uni - and must be thrilled to have your whole life in front of you to enjoy a sensible and healthy lifestyle....... I'm retired but still look forward to many more years of good living, exciting challenges…
