Struggling Senior
I have done low carb off and on for many years. I am 47 lbs. down from my all time HW. I have 16 lbs. to be my high school weight (50 years ago - lol). I'm 67, only 5"2" tall, diabetic, arthritic and have thyroid issues and fibromyalgia. My last A1C was 5.9, so that is good. The problem seems to be that I get to where I am…

Too big clothes...what do you do?
Seriously, I'd like to know from those who have struggled...is it best to get rid of your clothes when they get too big? Last time I lost 60 lbs I got rid of my biggest ones, but packed away those one size up. Eventually, I was digging them out to wear something comfortable, which led to me gaining the last 25 lbs back.…

Any seniors with 50+ to lose finding success???

I'm almost 63, have arthritis and fibromyalgia, which make exercise difficult, but so important. Going to start walking today. My problem is I always overdo it within the first week, then fall off…

Getting into the exercise thing . . .
Hubby and I decided to get a recumbent bike and keep it in our large living room. Every evening we work out, one after the other, while watching TV or listening to music. I love it! It's a Schwinn 240 - very quiet and very smooth motion, no matter what speed you are going. I also signed up for a low-impact aerobics class…

About the water . . .
64 oz. a day - really? Does all liquid count, like coffee? Any tips on how to get it all in?? I fill a 32 oz. WW mug with water and leave it sit on my desk. Just not a big water drinker - I think because I have to keep running to the bathroom. Is it really that helpful to losing weight??

Looking for others "like me" to inspire . . .
Please don't anyone be offended, but I'm around 60 years old, suffer from arthritis and other issues that make exercising difficult; am short (5" 2") and have 50 lbs. to lose. I'ld like to be friends with others in the same boat who have been successful (to inspire me when I'm feeling too old and decrepit to succeed). I…
