  • @ Snoozie --- wasn't even going to log on today ... and read your post -- just the words I needed!
  • Since I have been on diets since I was ten years old, I have amassed a great deal of nutritional information, but the reason I am not at the best weight is not due to lack of knowledge. My most successful weight loss (40 lbs at age 45) was with WW. I think it was called 1-2-3 Success -- a points-based system, but much…
  • Thanks for posting, Jeanmk56 -- just wanted to say that it could have been me writing this! I'm slightly (less than 2 years) older.
  • Also, debneeds2beskinny mentioned an existing group for 60 plus women, so I guess there couldbe a lot of overlap -- I'm not sure what the commitments are for joining a group, but I just requested membership in that one, being newly 60. So far, maybe because this post is still new, we're getting some good action right here…

  • Good idea to make it a group -- maybe that would make it easier to maintain continuity with each other. I started this thread pretty much as a look-see, because I hadn't seen a lot of success stories that I could identify with now.
  • @ kjurassic -- I don't think anyone has said it couldn't be done --- so obvious now in reading your post! It is just so inspiring to read about all the successes in this age group. I am reading all the posts avidly -- all have provided gems. I am glad to see suggestions also for people who may be more limited by health…
  • renfen --of course it counts, and you are very welcome here -- and I'm glad you would like to share your experiences. Nonetheless, I must point out that peri-menopausal is not the same as postmenopausal for most women I know. In fact, for some, the transition period can be not only debilitating physically (for example, if…
  • First thing this morning, i logged on to read these posts, and it sets a good tone for the day. Yesterday, I even managed to avoid an unnecessary snack because I thought of you. Asking for success stories in this age group because we have challenges in common is only one aspect to consider. Observing "gee, it's so hard at…
  • I have never posted in the message pages before, and I thrilled that so many women (who I can identify with) have responded. To reply to everyone individually, it would take up too much space and more time than I have. Ladies, your reading about your success -- and where you've had trouble --inspires me to keep on going.…
  • Wow! Seems like I'm in great company! Hi, luluinca and thanks for your reply – especially good to know you have improved your metabolism! Also thanks for describing your workouts. I am considering joining a gym, but for now $ is a factor. Still, I have yet to activate a trial membership, which could open new doors.…
  • Congratulations on your successful running... there'll be no stopping you now!
  • I'm going to be 60 in September, and, like you, my first doctor-diet was at ten years old. I am 40-50 lbs overweight now. At one time I lost 40 lbs quite easily with WW, but I was only 45 years old and much more active. I'd rejoined and was just getting off the ground again with some success and they changed the program.…
  • Awesome! and inspiring.
