readyforachange 51 Posted April 15, 2012 Hi Ann, I think we might be the only ones over age 60 that post on this board. I weighed 195 this morning. I feel like my weight coming off will be slower than others because of my age and lack of exercise. As soon as it gets warmer, I plan to walk more. Best wishes to your success!
