I'm in my sixties and it's been very difficult maintaining my weight over the last few years as the 7 pounds I put on every Christmas never seems to go away again but at the moment I seem to be gradually losing a pound or half a pound every few days. I have lost a total of 14 pounds now over the last couple of months. I can only attribute this to the fact that I eat a salad for dinner every night and haven't eaten bread and butter for about two months either. However it's happening, I hope it continues!

NanaSue, keep up the good work! I have also lost about 9 pounds in the last 6 months or so and I am feeling fantastic! I would like to lose about 10 more though.

Salad for dinner! Wow that's some resolve nanaSue. I don't think I can manage with just a salad for dinner, but I do stay away from snacking on junk and no eating after 9pm. 14 pounds! Another wow! That's great work..I'm envious. Do you do any exercising though?

As a matter of fact, I do but not what you'd think. We bought a Wii a few months ago and now, every morning without fail, my husband and I will play an energetic game like ten pin bowling, frisbee golf or tennis, or we get out the balance board and do a bit of virtual cycling around the "Island". It's great fun and exercise too.

You mean there's all that on the Wii? I'm getting very interested now. Does it really give you a good workout? Like do you step away sweating, at least a little bit? I used to think the Wii was a faux. Gee if that helps you to lose pounds then I might have a go too. Oh and congratulations on the weightloss! I have about 8 more pounds to lose. Get those pounds off everyone!

The Wii came with WiiSports and there's tennis, bowling etc which can be as energetic as you like but we then bought WiiFit plus with a balance board and when I'm doing the virtual cycling I certainly can work up a sweat. There are loads of "proper" exercises, yoga exercises, balance, stepping.......really a lot. Well worth buying!

Keep it up!

I have been working out more this year than any other year in my life and I have to say its been a good change for me. Between this and quitting smoking almost two years ago I am finally on my way to where I feel "good".
