Hi Blondie. I'm 67 and I just started this program, so I am looking forward to others who can inspire me!

Hi Joan I'm 67 also. I have been logging on different programs since the middle of Jan. This program seems to have the type of data base/format that I have been looking for. Although my health is good now, I know if I don't loose weight I won't stay healthy. I have been looking for a group in my age range to join.

I have been using this program since last Dec. and I really like it. So far I have lost 23 lbs. but still have a long way to go. Sometimes I get disappointed that I haven't lost more weight. Some of the meds I'm on cause constipation, cotton mouth and dry eyes and I'm thinking that has an impact on my weight loss. If anyone has any tips I would love to hear them.

Hi, my name is Judy, I am 63 years old and have a lot of weight to loose, been using netdiary for about 2 weeks, and have lost about 4 lbs already, have tried other sites but this one is very easy to use. Look forward to being part of this group.

Hi Blondie - I'll be 67 in September. I love using this program.It's so easy to use- I keep track at work as well as at home, and I like the feature of being able to print off what I have done for the month for my Dietitian to see! Good luck!

Hi everyone! I am doing better but still need to improve. Just tested blood for the first time in months (didn't have enough $ for strips :(() & it appears to be doing better than I thought. But it can always be better. My blood pressure is a little higher than I like but stress is playing a part of that & I know what it is. Self discipline is mandatory & I will continue to work on that. Lunch is difficult as salads get boring quick for me. I have incorporated Greek Yogurt & Plain non fat yogurt into my life. I even found an excellent potato salad with yogurt & my husband even said it is a keeper. Need to work on deviled eggs now! I'm hoping that if I share it will encourage me to fight the battle better.
Any suggestions are always welcomed!

Just signed up. 67 yo male from Metro Nashville. Take 12 pills per day for bp, anxiety, depression, GERD, RLS, high cholesterol etc. I have survived infant whooping cough, pnemonia, cancer, a near heart attack and now they tell me that I am a Type 2 Diabetic. Ain't the golden years grand? I weigh 199 lbs and my first goal is to get back to 175. My dietician wants me to not go over 1800 calories but I have not yet figured out how to make my plan understand that. Well, it is cloudy and cold and I am sitting here drinking my hot toddy, so all is not lost.
