Just eat sensibly, cut back on carbs with more veggies and fruits. A slow weight lloss is one that will stay off easier. For exercise, I walk everyday-about 15-20,000 steps on the pedometer. I go to the gym and only use the bike for 5 miles and the treadmill to walk, usually on an incline. I never run unless I have to, because of the impact on the older legs. And I go to TKD 2-3 times a week, so for me that is an hour of the highest calorie burning on my schedule. I run there, but the floor is cushioned, it is not too bad. Dr. G's suggestion of swimming is a good one, nothing is nicer than an indoor pool in the winter, and they have aerobic classes too besides doing laps. Swimming burns a high amount of calories and is so nice to be in the warm water when it is freezing outside.

glad to hear you don't run, your so right, it hard impact on your body for sure

your really doing fabulous!

this is the gazelle, its not motorized, you can do it as slow as you want or as fast as your want.

It is however a slower way of losing weight, as some of us get older, joint pains, muscle aches, sore knees, legs, whatever ails you, this is the best equipment and also easier than walking outside on cement.


I feel so much better and have lost over 20 lbs...2 more sizes lower in clothing.


which exercise methods help you loose weight?

Good for you.

I'm sure most everything works, if you use it. That's the hardest for me. I buy it. I start the program and then it becomes just another thing I own.

For me, I've found I've got to go somewhere, at a certain time and follow the directions of an instructor. Water exercizses have been the most successful for me. I so enjoy the socializing with the others in the water.

funny how we are all so different, its good that you can push yourself to go out and work out...where I lack that motivation....if something is right at home....then I can workout when I feel like it.

and as previously said, swimming is supposed to be the best and easy on your body.............good for you!

When we bought our Nortic Track years ago,
it quickly became the cat's perch.
