It is so much harder to lose weight than it used to be. I also don’t want to lose much more because everything I read and hear says it’s better to keep a little padding as we get older. Being of Northern European descent and a slender frame - and having smoked for over 35 years - I’m already at risk for osteoporosis. I’m walking daily now and doing what I can to maintain my bones, but that means I can’t weigh what I want to. I’d love to get back down to the mid 120’s but really, why? I’m over 60 and not interested in a relationship so what does it matter if i have extra padding? It’s all about health and staying independent in my 80’s if I make it that long. So only 3 or 4 pounds to lose. The plan is 2-3 pounds this month and next and then level off in the low to mid 130’s.
