I am 73 years old and 5 feet 1 inches. I lost 72 pounds since July 2023, I went down from 183.8 to 112 pounds. I’ve always walked and did upper body weights, but after my hysterectomy and some health problems, I gained an excessive amount of weight when my husband got sick 2006 and passed away in 2014. I went from a size 14/16 to a size 4. I use my fitness pal daily even to maintain my weight, It helps a lot ❤instead of walking 3 miles every day, I walk 4-5 miles 6 days a week, and I use 2 15 pound weights 3 times a week for my upper body. I do get” don’t lose any more weight”. You’re too thin and right now it’s not a compliment. I went into my postal store to mail my estimated taxes yesterday and the guy I have known for years said oh can I ask you something? Are you seeing anybody? and I said no why and he said oh I thought that’s why you lost all the weight. I just started laughing. I’m like I don’t lose weight for anybody else but myself.😊 I guess the road is paved with somewhat good intentions? But it is just disheartening when people are telling you you’re too thin now. August 7th went back for my yearly never told my doctor I lost all this weight and I thought she would have a negative attitude after I explained everything I did. She was writing everything down to share😊 mind you I left that doctors office last July after gaining another 10 pounds in two years and was determined never gonna be that overweight again. The only medication I was on was 10 mg of Avastin, which she took me off😊 all my blood test came out perfect my colonguard, perfect, I am the epitome of health right now. I am going to be 74 in November. I still weigh myself once a week, but I really don’t take much heed in the scale. I am still losing weight but very slow weight. I did go to a dietitian because of it and she said it’s because I am burning off so many calories a day but she also said I am doing intuitive eating, which is a very healthy way of life, I hope this helps somebody that’s watching. I eat fiber one cereal every other day and I also take fiber gummy‘s every day plus Chia seeds every day.. from someone who went to one bowel movement a week to every other day it truly helps me.

Wow, your story is impressive and very motivating. Thank you for sharing it. Fiber makes a big difference for me as I have never ever been regular. It has always been a struggle. I am loving my pool swimming and water aerobics but the key is find an activity you like and just do it. Just take that step and keep moving. I bet you feel great!!!

Hi Monica! Did you set your own calorie deficit or have someone help you with that? I haven’t been able to make the scale move (but I do feel more muscular; I lift weights 3 times per week, but I haven’t been able to walk consistently because of various issues with my feet, etc). I am almost 68 years old. How long before you started seeing the scale reflect your effort? I feel like I can’t go any lower on my calories; so, it seems that increasing my activity dramatically is the only solution. It is so frustrating! Congrats on your success; your persistence and consistency sure paid off.
@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle 19 сағат бұрын
Hi, I figured out how my my body needs to maintain weight and how much I need to lose weight. There apps and formulas that calculate that for you. You put in age, height, weight and activity level. When you work out your burn more fat but gain muscle which weighs more. I wanted a slow weight loss because at 70 my skin is saggy as it is and the more I lose the worse my face looks. I also noticed that if I ate more when I worked out I lost more weight. We swim a lot and that works the whole body. I also have foot issues and that has limited my walking down. My weight has come off slowly but my clothes started fitting better within a month or so. I ended up taking my measurements and focused on active calorie burn and that made the biggest difference.

Get a good yoga matt and watch some floor exercise videos. Example, I do 3 sets of planks on the floor, then do leg lift exercises, switch sides do the other leg. I do the butt lift exercise and crunches. The planks took me a long time to work up to. I now do 3 sets of 1 minute each. When I started them I could hardly do 15 seconds. swimming for me has been the best over all. In an hour of swim exercises I usually burn around 700 active calories. I am usually alone in my swim lane too so no group exercise. I have joined in on some water aerobics classes but prefer on my own. Do you have the Silver Sneakers program?
