Hi everyone was reading up on this thread of many thoughts on weight loss. I was told that I would not be able to lose weight because of my age bracket. That was all the incentive I needed. I like proving people wrong when the stereotype people into a category. On July 24th of this year I weighed in at 240lbs. I started to make changes in my life, like walking again and then progressed to 2 1/2 lb ankle weights to even add more to the walking workout. I cut out for the most part all junk food. Cut out the pop and chips and bars. Hardly touch process meats anymore. Watch the trans fat content of all food I may eat. Still go to MickyDee’s for a burger every now and then but throw away the buns,lol Cut down my portions of food servings to 1/4. I caught on to the homemade smoothie fruit drinks. Cut out sugar all together from my diet. Also I cut out potatoes and bread. If I eat a slice of bread it is whole wheat or muti-grain and just one slice instead of 2. Now after 5 months of this routine I am now 190lbs and feel fit and young again with lots of energy. I plan to get down to 175 or 180 and hold that weight hopefully. I walk 10k now and no matter if it is -40 out or not I still walk to a fitter healthier life style. Hope this helps some out their as weight loss is not easy to do. :)

Cheers and good luck to everyone :)
