Hi Debs1967 - it's very difficult to answer your question, because everyone's different! I'm in my sixties and I have a problem with mobility now. My exercise of choice was always aqua size, but our leisure centre closed the pool for renovation. What a blessing in disguise! It led me to this forum! I started walking 7 months ago and have been watching my diet for about 3 months. In that time I have increased my steps more than tenfold (ok I'm only up to 3000!) and have lost 24 lbs. But that's me - it may be different for you! Whatever you choose to do, it needs to be challenging but achievable. I do hope you will give walking a try - we'll be here to support and encourage every step of the way!
