Over 50 and lost weight
Quote From: ready_ableolder and wiser
I am looking for others in the same boat who want to be fit and lean but have age concerns. Are there any young at heart and mind who would like to join me on a journey to tighten up and lose the fat despite the obstacle of age? Join an 80 year old with a 40 year old mind.
I do like and need to have protein in my diet plus fruit but am concerned that the grain carbs cause me to gain and I realize the need for the B vitamins and minerals that I may be missing.
Would like to welcome all older folks with similar concerns to share information with me.

P. S. Dr. Phil, you are very welcome too although I realize you may not understand the concerns and needs of an 80 year old. :)
I am over 50 and my grandkids remind me but I dont feel OLD either. This is not an advertisement for Nutri system but my sister lost 40 pounds on it so I purchased the foods. And yes I have lost 20 pounds in less than 2 months, doesnt sound like much but you would be amazed at what a difference it made on a 5 ft 3 inch woman. The food has plenty of good carbs and I get so full I cant eat it all but you are suppose to eat all thats required on the plan. Now that I have learned what to eat and to only eat 1200 calories a day I believe I can continue with weight loss without Nutrisystems food, and although you should get some exercise every day, it isnt necessary to obtain the weight loss but you do need to tone those muscles.
