I am over 55 years and decided also at the beginning of this year I am tired of being fat.
I have now lost 60 lbs, 40 more to go.
No diet, no surgery stuff, plain ol' healthy sensible eating choices.
i have my treats but in moderation. I don't want junk food anymore ie chips, sodas that sort of stuff.
lots of fresh cooked vegetables at dinner seasoning with spices and herbs, small portion of meat, often fish, small amt of carb either potatoe, rice that sort of thing. I eat breakfast, oatmeal with blueberries usually. Small lunch.
I only have show pictures of me in December 08 but I can post that one.
The next was taken after I lost about 50 lbs.
It never cost me a thing to do it and grocery/food bills are much lower.
I also stay out of fast food places. I pack a lunch to take with me on days I am working.

Way to go Lorraine, You look great
