Next month I'll be 78, and still try to stay in shape by different forms of exercise. I weight train, ride a Me-Mover, a new self powered machine from Denmark that takes me places. As far as losing weight, I've always known the strategy, so does everyone else, if you admit it, many will not. I do my own shopping, because I do I managed to lose about 25 lbs., I didn't follow a rigorous diet, didn't starve myself, I couldn't since I need energy to work out, I did change my directions at the food market, and detoured every sugar coated isles. Commonsense dictates that if I stop buying, cookies, ice cream, cake, etc., something will happen, and it did, I fought my sugar cravings.
Of course I still had the cravings, but I like to workout with weights, and take rides on the Me-Mover which burns calories, lots of them because it's 40% harder to propel than a bicycle, and yes you will feel it in your legs, torso, whole body, then something wonderful happens, you sort of get mesmerized on long rides, you don't think about that sweet treat you just gotta have, your body responds to the demands of moving, moving that you are making happen, and that my friends makes me feel great.
So, for all of you serious weight watchers, change what you've been doing, reroute your food shopping routine, get your butts out there on something that you make move, but only if you really want too, ask yourselves, do I?
