I am 69 years old and I have fought my weight all of my life. Last year I sprained an ankle and damaged a tendon. It was very painful and I needed a walker to get around for six or seven months. I gained even more weight, about 30 lbs, getting me to my highest weight, 270. It is so hard to lose weight now. I remember when I was in my 20s and I could skip dinner and be down 3 lbs by morning. Those days are gone. :-/ Two years ago my husband passed away and I am still trying to learn to shop/cook for one. I have two dogs who are getting fat from eating my leftovers. I have started aerobic walking again (Leslie Sansone). It helped me lose weight in the past so I hope it will give me a boost now. I'd like to reach my goal weight by my 70th birthday next March.
