Older weight loss

[Carrots123]

Hi I am a 68 year old lady who decided to lose weight this year. At the end of May I weighed 10 stone 3lbs too heavy for my 5 foot frame. I was afraid as I was older it wouldn’t come off but on the 1 sept down to 8 stone 11. My goal is 8 stone 7lbs Calorie counting and walking an hour a day has done it for me so just persevere everyone

Great going Carrots123 you have done so well and the few pounds left to lose should be no problem. Then comes the maintaining phase, which shouldn’t be too difficult if you keep on with the healthy eating and lifestyle habits you have developed. Good luck!
