I'm 62 years old. Joined MFP 2 years ago, lost ~30 pounds but gained back half of it. :'( Starting over again but finding it tough to get much exercise as I have chronic sciatica. One meal at a time!!

62 here! ;)

I'm also a senior [62]. I lost about 25 pounds last year, gained a bit back but am on track now. I have significant back issues which has reduced my activity level but am now seeing an excellent physiotherapist to get some relief & stretching exercises. MFP is an excellent tool.

I make a batch of steel cut oats every week in my slow cooker ....add ins include apples & raisins or dried cranberries. I then package them in individual servings & into the freezer they go!

Kitchener, ON!

I've just joined! :)

Hi Ellen ....join the club [being 60 & overweight!!]. I began using MFP last April & have lost 35 pounds so far with another 35 to go. Slow & steady has been the principle I follow. You'll be successful!!

Hello Margaret ....I'm 60 years old & have been using MFP for 14 months & have lost 35 pounds to date. For me, this has been an excellent tool to assist me along the journey to health - both physical & emotional. My advice is to take a meal at a time, forgive yourself if you have a bad day, try to do a bit of gentle…

How inspiring! Thanks for taking the time to share & all the best as you continue your success!!

I've lost 35 pounds which is the weight of this kitchen appliance!

Nice, NiqueKristan ....I'm going to see if I can figure out how to create a group for us.

Hello jemhh. Take a big bow .....congrats to you on your success!! Just curious ....do you still have sleep apnea? I was diagnosed w/ this 6 years ago & use a CPAP machine at night. I'm hoping once I lose another 30 pounds [have already dropped 30+] the sleep apnea will disappear. Thanks.

Can someone help? How do you change your macros as "ndj1979" suggests. I've gone into Settings but can't see how to make any changes to macros. Thanks!

What is an LDS please?

Two things: I can get up easily & quickly from a chair because my big tummy has shrunk! I noticed some slack in my seat belt when I buckled up for my plane ride at Christmas! Nice. :p

Hello ladies! We can do this, right & we'll all support each other through the good & perhaps some "off" days. Let's go!!!

Hello PianoRun! I'll be turning 60 in a few months & have lost 30 pounds since joining MFP in April. Slow but steady & even though I see lots of folks reporting incredible amounts of weight loss in short periods of time, I believe us more mature gals experience weight loss at a slower rate & that's perfectly fine with me.…

Hello ...although I am much, more older than you I'd like to offer my input. I had initial success w/ Weight Watchers years ago & successfully maintained a 25 pound weight loss until .....kids, career, etc. I did rejoin WW 5 years ago but found I was OBSESSED with food. Last April I came across MFP, a wonderful site with a…

Nice work ....congrats! :D

You should be VERY, VERY proud of your accomplishment!!

Quinoa oatmeal with apples, blueberries & slivered almonds. Yum!

Thanks samantha1242 & erindunphy for your kind comments. Merry Christmas to you both!

Yeah! I have now finished week 1 ....on to week 2 on Monday!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll see how I'm feeling on Saturday when I finish the 3rd session of week 1.

Thanks again for your advice. Today I completed w1d2 :D A few months ago, I did invest in some good fitting running shoes [the sales person spent 1 hour helping me select the best for my pronating foot]. I also have orthotics so I feel I've taken care of footwear issues. Now ....the fun begins, right? :# My plan is to…

Ah ....thanks for this amusedmonkey. I'll check the site.

Another question ....what treadmill speed would you suggest I use for my "jog" portions? Thanks everyone!

Yesterday I did W1D1! I'm alive today to report all is well ...no major aches or pains [I have chronic sciatica] so I'll plan D2 tomorrow!!
