I've Lost 60 Pounds and FEEL GREAT!
I'm so very happy. At age 75 I've lost 60 pounds (down from 270 to 210). It's taken 18 months, but it wasn't hard. I now have more energy and strength than I've ever had. I went from being almost bedbound to moving about freely. No more motorized scooters in the grocery stores, no more having to get help getting up off the…

INTERMITTENT FASTING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
FASTING MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD 11/06/22 What happens when you haven’t eaten for a good long while and are delaying eating until your set time? During this period of time of “fasting” do you get sick and weak? Absolutely not. Instead, you get energized! Your eyes open wider, brain activity is enhanced, and you become more…

An Apology
I apologize for any of my posts that seem to imply that the way I've found to lose weight, get healthy and not put the weight back on is for everyone. Looking over what I've written, I have to agree that it DOES seem to imply that. I guess after 60 years of yo-yo dieting and gaining more weight afterwards each time to the…

LOSING AND KEEPING WEIGHT OFF FOREVER
I truly believe the only way to lose weight and keep it off forever (that's what we want, right?) is to to eat a high protein/low fat diet, similar to KETO, and eat 1-2 meals a day with NO SNACKING. Drink water, unsweet tea or balcak coffee in-between to keep yourself hydrated and do this as a normal routine. I know people…

Lost 60 Pounds with 40 to Go!
I started at 270. My doctor classified me as MORBIDLY OBESE and gave me a referral for gastric bypass surgery, and I went for the consultation but after seeing photos of the procedures, I bolted out of the office. The last thing I wanted was to ruin my stomach. I'm already being treated for reflux and have a hiatal hernia…

My Brand New Wardrobe
Years ago when I was on a calorie restricted diet, I lost some weight and as an incentive to help me continue to lose, I bought a large number of clothes in a smaller size. (They were on clearance with an additional 20% off.) I didn't go on to lose any more weight and regained what I'd lost plus some more pounds. I've lost…

INTERMITTENT FASTING HAS WORKED MIRACLES
Looking back over my "diet history", I realize I've spent way too much of my life focused on and anguishing over food. I've been on every diet imaginable since the age of 16. I was either torturing myself by depriving myself of food or was breaking the diet due to intense hunger and eating any and everything I wanted. I…

Back after many years
I think the last time I logged in was FIVE YEARS AGO! A lot has happened since then. I retired then got stuck inside my home due to COVID. I'm back to square one but ready to try and get this weight off again. I am 75 years old, 5'6", 250 pounds and want to get down to 175. Not going to count calories this time. I'm…

New to This Thread
Hi everyone. I just found this thread thanks to a recommendation by a friend. I am 75. Have been on every diet known to man and ended up weighing more afterwards each time until I got to the point where the doctor labeled me as "morbidly obese". It's imperative that I get the weight off if I want to live a few more years…

LOST 42 POUNDS
Hi. I've lost 42 pounds in the past year by cutting out processed foods, sugars and flour products. I also started INTERMITTENT FASTING and eat only 1-2 meals a day. I just recently started watching my calories and trying to keep my carbohydrates low. I'm 75 and never felt better. My health has greatly improved and I'm off…

VACATIONS KILLED MY ROUTINE
I went on two vacations in May and it looks like I've gained 4 pounds. (I'm hoping most of it is water weight.) I'm having a hard time settling back into my OMAD routine. I'm extra hungry, but that might be due to the extra carbs I ate while vacationing. Been eating two meals a day and working on getting back to that just…

Now I'm hungrier than I've ever been in my life and although I manage to control myself during the day, when I get home from work, I go crazy and go on an…

Older Friends Needed
Hi.... I'm 68 years old and am looking for friends who are older than 55 for motivation and support. It's not that I don't like younger people (I love them!) but weight loss has different challenges after a certain age. For one... Your metabolism slows down, you lose muscle mass and sometimes there are health conditions…
