Losing Weight After 60 is Possible! Just Get Rid Of These 8 Things
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2019
- Losing weight gets harder the older that we get. Especially after 60! When I worked at a Pizza restaurant as a young woman, I could eat as much cheesy goodness as I wanted and not gain an ounce. Now, I just look at a glass of water and feel myself expanding. The good news, it that there are small things that we can do to get healthy at any age.
So, in this morning’s video, I want to share 8 small things that you should get rid of if you want to get to a healthy weight in your 50s, 60s or better.
Do you agree that losing weight after 60 is harder than ever? What do you do to stay in shape? Do you exercise? Eat healthy food? Dance? Something else?

#menopause #losingweight #SixtyAndMe
I'm 62 and lost almost 100lbs in 2017. Mostly eating healthy like fruits and veggies. No more pizza and junk food like sodas etc. Also added more walking and hiking. I'm happy to say I kept my weight off.
Thank you your info is more helpful than this video
@@CC-qf6zz glad to help
Congratulations, Monika! That's a big loss. Sweets and potato chips are my biggest problems. I need to lose 30.
Ahhhh, there's still hope. Yippee. I mean it and congratulations!
@@Elizabeth-yg2mg I know sometimes it's hard. But try to avoid it as much as possible.
Getting older...uggh. i threw my back out sleeping. Twitched my neck sneezing. I swear i am one fart away from permanent paralysis. Be healthy. Be happy. Rock on girls.
🤣🤣🤣
@@jennifersmith9892 😂😂 just kidding. I am grateful for the wisdom that comes with age. Staying fit and heathy. Keep a sense of humour.
Melanie. Scientific studies agree with what is written
in the bible, speaking positive in your life. A study
was done using water. Beautiful music made the
water form a beautiful pattern. Hard rock music
made the water form an ugly pattern. Another
experiment was done with rice. Beautiful was
written on a glass jar of rice, (cooked rice) and
a month later the rice looked the same. On
another jar of rice the word ugly was written on
it, a month later the rice turned spoiled, and black
looking. I had stage 4 cancer, and a year later the
cancer was gone, without chemo. I spoke the word
of God over my body. The world was created by the
word of God. That's how important words we say over
ourselves matter.
@@katkat-fm3wj That is beautiful. Thank you. Yep. It was time for me to let go. Let God. The peace in my soul is overwhelming. My Hyperthyroidism treated with oral chemo meds is so much better. Faith is my foundation. I am fitter than 40 year olds when tested in april. Thankful is all i can say. We are worth more to God. I will honour Him to stay healthy body and soul. Much love and prayers from beautiful sunny Africa.
Melanie, you're Hilarious! Nothing like a great sense of humor. Thanks for the laugh. :)
Best weight loss program is the royal diet. Someone told me years ago. Eat breakfast like a king. Lunch like a duke. Ate dinner like pauper. Try not to ever eat anything after 6 o’clock. And drink lots and lots of water.
I need to lose about 40 pounds yet I can't seem to stick to any diet. My body is the Atkins or keto type yet I really don't want to eat meat. So, I am trying the "eat whatever I want for lunch and then a salad for dinner" with 10 minutes of exercise/day. Hopefully it will work.
The best way indeed. Just water after 6 works perfectly 👍
You are like a best friend that is gentle, sweet, kind, and full of wisdom!
Hello Barbara 👋
Yes. An excellent example.
After my hubby passed away 13yrs ago i went stupid and ate everything in sight with the result i picked up a huge amount of weight. I've lost 58 lbs. Picked 30kgs up during this time.Still ten to go then I'll be happy. I'm 77yrs. If i can give one bit of advice, take your time and it will slowly come off. Many blessings
If you're in your seventies, how much time do you think you have left? Nothing like spending the last years of your life on a diet! 🥺
@@ursamagickmt672 what a mean spirited unkind comment - how about quality over quantity of life?
@@ursamagickmt672 My mother is 91 and still worries about wrinkles, because she's still relevant to herself. You might learn from listening.
How about gratitude ? ,I ran and completed the Disney and Goofy marathons when I was 76 , never having been a walker nor runner, yet did it for a cause, I will be 94 in Jan.2022 , --paying more attention to what I eat, one day at a time,walk, garden, mostly weeding , listening to birds, watching squirrels . The commitment I made almost 20 yrs to train for a cause in spite of the obstacles, trials etc..was a lifelong lesson- Focus on being healthy for yourself and be an inspiration to others, I plan to celebrate my 100th and my great granddaughters 21st birthdays in 2028, Find a cause, set goals, yes, you will fall down, but know that YOU can pick yourself up and continue.. The sun is ALWAYS shining even when you cannot see it
I like the advice to take your time & have the weight come off slowly. That is what I am doing too. I find my mind also need to adjust to the changing shape of my body as the weight comes off.
Water, drinking water, lots of water. Also I have discovered during 2020/2021 that I sit way more than I used to. I have never had a weight issue until now, I just turned 63. I have to literally force myself to get in the shower, get nicely put together and get out of the house, away from the house...away from that comfy chair and computer and move, move, move! I walk everyday...but clearly I was much busier than I realized before the pandemic. Thanks for the tips, they are right on point. Cheers for now.

Hi there, do you have instagram? I want to lose my weight, could you help me
I got rid of my tv in 2006, so stressful! I read, walk, hike,visit friends, garden, and watch everything I want on my laptop, much cheaper than paying for cable or dish, I've recently started keto to shed pounds I've gained during covid and to prevent insulin resistance.
I am 71 and feel better than I did in my 30s!
A Lot of wisdom there.
@@dwlsn93 we still have our TV but no cable. Our internet is on the TV so we watch UA-cam or documentaries/movies/shows from Amazon or UA-cam TV. I also love to listen to music through the TV. We're not in front of it much though as we stay busy with family/grandchildren, friends, gardening and hubby still works part time.
@@marliesyanke4580 I know for a fact Keto can cause kidney stones. Just had to deal with that. Worst pain of my life and had to get surgery.
@@NilDreams Sorry that happened, I have a friend that swears by Keto, but has been hospitalized many times with kidney stones.. She still insists that it's the only way to go. I'm not going down that rabbit hole.
I started implementing these things in my 50's and now at 66 I can say that I feel great, look better, and am happier.
I've lost 60 lbs in my 60s, and I eat whatever I want. I do intermittent fasting. No calorie counting, measuring. I exercise moderately. I feel better than I did in my 40s.
Update: lost 70 lbs and maintain pretty easily.
Intermittent fast is the truth!
Me too, Very doable. WW over and over again, designed for failure. Keto and intermittent fasting so much better.
I intermittent fast as well!! 👍🏻
That's Wonderful !
Yes intermittent fasting, and exercise is especially helpful.
Just please be careful of the sugars,
( Studies show that Cancer uses sugar to grow ) and bad oils that are " hidden " in foods, such as Palm oil, Canola and Soybean being major ones as well as others, as cancer and other health issues can come from those, and be " hidden " from you also until,
It's too late to fix. A person definitely should be able to enjoy life but just be careful and prepare for the years ahead. Just a thought.❤️
@Lyric Smith what do you mean 16:8? 16 hours or eating or fasting?
I landed here because it came up whilst I was searching for weight loss videos. I’m 57 this year and am male, but the common sense information given here can benefit anyone and is a great reminder of those small steps that we can all easily take and make a difference. Many thanks
You are welcome here. The shared advice is (mostly 😊) great for men as well.
Hi ladies, I joined because I am over 60 and find that so much of this information applies to us old dudes too.
BTW I loved your suggestion about small plates. It really works!!!
Good on you Philip Germani ! I am sure you will age Beautifully as well. Is good to surround yourself (even virtually) with healthy people, whatever the gender.
@@LightFigure888 Yes! We all have so much in common. Health and beauty and happiness apply to us all. Your common sense approach is really helpful and doable.
@@PG-is9vr I love the small plates idea too. And also small bowls. 😆 I cut up some fruit & put it in a little bowl, or plate, (when I am by myself I use a dessert fork to eat it) Why not feel cherished with such a simple act. Instead of biting into the whole fruit & being all messy. When a friend comes over for a coffee I make them a little plate of cut up fruit too. Mix it up. Enjoy a couple of different colours, textures. Like a banana & berries, or apple and orange. Soft, crunchy etc. So much lovelier than prepacked food, and no cooking needed. Since cutting my fruit I eat it 2 pieces every day. A small change, but big benefit.
Things are better with a mix of men and women.
I am 65 and I lost 58 pounds in 2020. I got a diabetes diagnosis in early 2020 and decided to change my lifestyle. Became a vegetarian and started walking every day. It was actually a nice experience. The trick is keeping it off! That seems to be the challenge for me. If I can do it, anyone can do it. It's a lifestyle change and not a diet.
Hi, Redwoods, Is or was loose skin an issue?
Get the 2 for 1 and donate 1 to the nearest food pantry, makes you feel good!
I am Cecilia from Paris France, i listen to your information, i am so excited,thank you so much.
I will be 63 years old in July 2022. Walking is very good,there is also one i can propose, you have to eat gently,digestion starts in the mouth.
At least 20 minutes to finish your food
Thank you! I dumped my TV seven years ago. Have not missed it at all. I've lost 25 pounds with almost no effort. I walk and do a simple workout at home. I'm 78 and very healthy. I take not medications and feel great. Blessing to you.

For weight, these eight help you go back to basics, one day at a time.
1. Change environment: what surrounds you and get active as opposed to driving everywhere and parking close.
2. Smaller plates: use for main meal, get something pretty. Don’t have to finish all of your food.
3. Toss the TV: don’t spend too many hour in front of it.
4. Comfy walking shoes: make comfortable options a priority
5. Buy quality over quantity and savor the good stuff
6. Wear more fitted clothes: this helps as a reminder to stay on track with good body image practices
7. Ditch snacks: no after dinner or in between meal snacks, don’t even bring them into the house
8. Minimize eating out: cook so that you know what’s in there and can manage it.
Suzie Q Thank you 🌸
Thank you!!!
Frusia : THAnk you 🙏🏻 for the list . I appreciate your kindness in taking the time to write it out.
I am trying….it’s tough to change after 35 years of ignoring me and to bring the focus back on me. Having a very busy career and caring for children and aging parents left me with so little time for me.
I do some of these tips …maybe 3 , but I will try all 8.
Have a good day!
I'm in my late 20s but I love listening to older women who are disciplined and motivated to follow healthy lifestyle. I hope I'd be healthy like you when I'm old.
Thank you🙏 for sharing.
I am 76 years old. I have been on Keto since December. I also do intermittent fasting. I've lost 9 kgs so far. I was pre-diabetic in December but blood sugar is very good now. No more high blood pressure either. The Ketogenic way of eating is the only way I am losing weight and discarding medications.
Hughena da Silva very good. I’m keto 21 months now. 61. Never going back to eating flour or sugar. I eat nutritious foods. I’m 3 sizes down and inflammation is gone!!!
Your guidelines are really good and sensible ways of living. I just started the ketogenic diet and already see a difference in my health. Can't exercise until I get the left hip and right knee fixed.
DCB14u2do that’s ok. Diet is better than exercise. You can’t exercise away a bad diet.
After 34 years of going hungry keto was the answer for me. Lost 70 lb. 11 years ago, and haven't gained it back. Here's to health! (55 years old now.)
Same here, got to menopause and gained 4st almost overnight. Became prediabetic, only found out by accident. Low carb is easier than keto but I have keto days too, and doing muscle building toning exercise is better than lots of muscle wasting cardio. My doctor is impressed! Blood sugar down to normal and I feel so much better too. Dr Jason Fung intermittent fasting book helped too, I do 16/8, not difficult at all. It’s just my lifestyle now
I’m 39, but I’m here to learn!
I am a young one too at 49 😆 it is fabulous to prepare ourselves for a long healthy life in all aspects. Nice to hear positive rich conversations
I am 21, but these must be very good tips so I'm learning too 😊
I lost 40lbs a couple years ago. A thin friend told me the first time she gained weight she didn't like it so she chose who she wanted to be. So I chose, downloaded a free fitness app and kept track of what I ate. I won't say it's easy but I'm really happy with results. Vacation cost a couple lbs but I'm taking it off right away. I'm also very healthy now and my feet and joints hurt less.
Good for you ! Anything worthwhile takes effort And you're doing it.
I became vegan seven years ago at the beginning I was buying a lot of vegan process food and I said to myself was the point of being vegan if I’m eating all this process food so I stop doing that I’m eating more of a healthy plant-based food no animal products and I stop buying snacks 😊 I’m 52 years old and I wanna live longer and be healthy and be beautiful just like you I’m glad I found this channel 😊
I am 6 years post colon cancer with chemotherapy. Cured! Very in active, just starting to feel motivated. Wanting to walk, dress nicer, eat off my China! You are so easy to listen to.
Well bless your heart that you had to go through that.
It's wonderful though that you are desiring to do those things. Good for you. Do it. Go for walks too, enjoy the fresh air and enjoy hearing outdoor life like the little birds.
Create a good positive happy way of life for yourself and enjoy life. You deserve it.
Great advice!! Incorporating little changes at home and while out really add up! One thing I do while waiting for water to boil for
Coffee is do toe raises. It has toned my legs and made me feel stronger. Do a little more each week.
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
I like the suggestion of resisting the BOGO (buy one, get one free) -- just keeping less food in the house has been a great tactic for me! You can't eat what's not available.
I do not keep anything chocolate in the house - at ALL. I know myself and cannot resist it - out of sight, (more or less) out of mind - and MOUTH!!
My exception for BOGO is multi vitamins & vitamin D at the local chain pharmacy. In fact, I wait until they cycle through on sale by thinking ahead.
remember bogof's is a supermarket's way of getting rid of stuff they can't sell or just want to get rid of!
Take the buy one get one free and drop it in the food bank box....
I buy lots of 2 for 1 products…. I donate to our local food banks. So many people are in need, please help your local people when you are able. 🙂
Yes, not eating out helps a lot and walking is great.
I have become very jaded about posts like this; they are usually trying to get you to sign up to something before you get the information they have tempted you with. This one was a breath of fresh air; just good, easy to implement sensible advice. I love your no nonsense approach to sensible eating. Thank you.
When I moved to Arizona, I didn't have a car for two years, as soon as I got a car I gained 10 pounds.
I've lost 40 pounds by doing intermittent fasting! 👍
Same here Barbara. It was effortless and so rewarding. I feel great.
All the best!💕
Barbara, how long did it take you to lose 40 pounds?
@@patriciaking7892 It was about 4 months... I know that sounds so incredible, but I lived it, so I believe it! Lol It helped me off ALL medications, I haven't had even a head cold since. I feel so healthy now. Age: almost 61. I've kept the weight off over a year too, another unbelievable truth! 👍
@themidsummerdream I am doing mostly OMAD, so just one meal in the early evening. On Sundays I sometimes eat twice for social reasons. No supplements, I eat pretty healthy from my garden so I don't see the point.
How do you do this fasting?
I'm exercising as I'm watching this video as I do every night. One hour every day. 67 years old.
You Go Girl ! I'm a year older than you and you are doing better than me. I'm overweight and started the the Keto way of life, as I have quite a bit of weight to get off my poor joints, and organs, plus the fact of just getting my health back for a better quality life. Going to start the gym this week. Keep up the good work and enjoy life. ❤️
@@Joy-sm7iz I am gradually losing weight to take the pressure off my joints etc, like you. I have lost 9kg this year, very slowly. I can feel the difference as I walk. What a relief! So do what works for you. Here’s a tip, if you have access to a swimming pool try working out/walking/gently swimming in the water. I have found Gravity to be particularly strong in gyms. The water is bliss & provides resistance that helps strengthen muscles. You Go Girl too!
@@madashell7224 I was out having a swim when you replied 😂
These are great reminders and also some new ideas! I've just recently started wearing baggy pants because my clothes are giving me a pain in the belly. You've made me realise I should just be trying to lose some weight! I justify eating too much by saying "at my age I deserve this" but in reality I know this isn't a good mindset. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing.
I’m starting again - on my own - so I’m going to use lovely pretty dishes that are SMALL!
Not sitting, doing dishes❣️
No tv for 8 years.
I love all your suggestions!
72 at last birthday. I have begun intermittent Fasting for the 60 + group. It has been slow but steady loss. I have tried many of the tips that you mentioned. MOVing being the best tip of all, I find the weight control easier on days when I work in the yard or walk. It is finally Spring in Maine and is now possible to move around easier. I have enjoyed your presentation.
I'm a Yvonne too and am 69. I feel better when I fast during the mornings and eat better foods. Glad your routine is working for you!
Is there an actual group? I’d love to know. 😊
Thank you for your channel-I’m going to be 57 and divorced 3yrs after 34 Yrs married-I wanted out-your channel has helped me So much
It happened to me too at 55, I found my ex with a younger woman in my bed while I was working a night shift as a nurse and get home a few hours earlier, I feel liked my world was falling apart but God open my eyes about him, 2 yrs later I got married to a good man and we travel a lot and I have a better life, so you will too.
1. Move more (walk, bike, use car less, if possible)
2. Use smaller plates/mindful portions
3. Ditch sitting (tv-watching, computers, etc...)
4. Ditch heels
5. Ditch BOGO (buy 1 get 1) when shopping
6. Avoid baggy clothes
7. Ditch snacking
8. Prepare your own food/don't eat out too much
I do all these. I lost 6 relatives since September 2015. Still desperate to lose another 6st 10lb
Thank you
SEM T , THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thanks!
BOGO on fruits/veggies are ok!
Since my operation I have put weight on and lying around in dressing gown you don't realise how much you put on until you start wearing your clothes again.🐱🐹
You hit the nail(s) on the head! I know I drive too much and will become more active. And I love the small plate idea, thanks!
You know you speak very peacefully and it enters the heart because it is really genuinely.
Thank you dear it really helped me while I was having my breakfast listening to your beautiful voice.🥰
Just discovered your videos. Love them! My goal for 2020 is to “ditch the black” and Sparkle and Shine throughout the New Year. I’m 75...thank you for the encouragement.
@@Paulohlsson7 Goodbye Paul
I've heard of eliminating "white", but what is ditch the black?
Cool idea
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
@@alysononoahu8702 Hello 👋
When I first retired, I was concerned because restaurant meals had been a large part of my social life and I knew my budget wouldn't support that habit. After a couple of years I realized how much money (and calories) I'd been wasting on forgettable restaurant meals. Five years later I weigh appreciably less than I did while working full time.
I'm 75..got a puppy..lost 10 lbs first month..he watches me so I feel aware
I don’t give up I just eat less.
Absolutely brilliant, many things I had not even considered
Thank you for the tips...the older I get the smarter my dad’s words were...moderation in all
I heard the same...but "moderation" is different to everyone. And funny enough, while my Father was preaching his "moderation", he was hiding bags of candy bars in his workshop to eat. Now he is Diabetic. :(
You lost me at "Toss the TV!" I need that for movies and to lose stress. Stress will put us in a bad state and we end up eating.
We can choose what we watch. I love documentaries for improving general knowledge and even at 73 often feel like a “Romance”. I just don’t watch the news or politically biased shows that depress me. I need my car to shop and to visit and meet friends. Walking or cycling is not practical during bad weather or for great distances or when you need to carry stuff. I agree with avoiding sweets like biscuits, cakes, etc. My snacks are low carb like hard cheese, avocado. I must admit to not walking as much because every path I take reminds me of my dog that died recently so I end up bawling. I trust I can work through it eventually.
@@gayedawn1 I love to watch TV! I have many shows that I enjoy and movies. I love the drama "A Million Little Things" and "This is Us", America's Got Talent, American Idol, Lifetime movies, my silly Housewives shows New Jersey, New York and Beverly Hills, re runs of Everybody Loves Raymond and The King of Queens. I own many movies and now with the remote I can just ask for a movie and it comes up! For me tv takes me away and de stresses me by getting lost in something fun. I have three dogs and love animals. I know how hard it is to lose your fur kid. I'm very sorry. Hugs to you.
You might find that watching a lot of TV actually makes stress worse. It took me about a week of missing it, and then gradually I discovered new hobbies that made me feel far less stressed than I was with the TV. I have a few health issues, and there are many things I’ve had to give up. But now I listen to good radio programmes (not politics or news channels), I paint and draw, I mess about on a cheap piano keyboard, I read books and magazines, and I keep a diary. I really don’t want a TV ever again. It sucked energy out of me. Maybe give it a try and see how you get on?
Actually, watching the news will cause you stress. Many shows have so much violence that they are stressful too.
It sounds to me like you're just addicted to TV and you're coming up with excuses to justify your addiction.
TV can be good for a little. I think she is Soo kind in trying to help us get off our butts, to get some circulation going. My husband and I got Soo addicted to TV and videos that we realized that's pretty much all we were doing. We keep it turned off as much as we can now, and instead get outside breathe in some fresh Air into our lungs, watch the butterfly's, listen to the birds sing and get some exercise.
Trying to create and Enjoy a better way of life. Not saying it's easy, it requires effort, but anything worthwhile does.🚲 🦋🌷🕊️🤗
I discovered you today! I just turned 60. You gave a lot of good advice, thank you.
I will share my little journey with everyone. I am a Petsitter and dog walker. In March 2020 the lockdown brought my business to a screeching halt. I gained 25 lbs sitting around and watching Netflix.
In early 2020 I tore a rotator cuff muscle and spent 6 months in PT, which was the greatest blessing. PT reminded me that it is fun to exercise and set small goals.
In October 2020, with PT concluded, I vowed to hit the gym. I hadn’t been in 20 years.
Walking in your neighborhood works just as well but gym was the best way for me to monitor my goals. Also I added a fitness tracker app to log my food and exercise.
I chose the “boil a frog” method. I began very slowly, riding the recumbent bike for a few minutes. Going every day was key for me. I’ve progressed to walking the treadmill for an hour without much effort. My resting heart rate is 55. I can climb stairs without getting winded.
Within 6 months I lost 25 lbs, now a total of 27 lbs. Honestly it wasn’t hard. It took commitment of course, but like I said, baby steps.
I don’t guilt myself if I miss a gym day or eat a piece of cake. Move on and do better the next day.
Now I’m adding resistance training. I was hesitant at first bc of my shoulder. My doctor says it’s necessary to stave off osteoporosis.
My diet changes aren’t for everyone. I cut out ice cream. I added oatmeal for breakfast, which fills me up and helps regulate blood sugar. I eat a salad every day. I drink a protein shake. I don’t like much meat except chicken and fish. No more Splenda in my coffee.
I no longer crave sweets. I may snack on a handful of nuts, or plain yogurt, or hummus. Just stuff I already loved, so again no major changes. Logging everything you eat is truly an eye opener!
I didn’t mean to write a book! But hopefully it will motivate someone to start *moving* to improve their overall health.
Hello there 👋👸🏼🌺
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
Great job! 😊👍
@@julialednicky7542 how are you doing?
Thank you for the awesome tips on losing weight. I've been having a heck of a time on trying to lose my extra 50 pounds since I hit the past 60 mark in my life. It's so true now it's a concern about you're health and not just you're appearance. I haven't given up yet!!!
I am 68 and lost 15kg in the last year. Intermittent fasting and a standing desk worked for me.
Hello Vera...
How are you doing today?
2nd knee went bad during pandemic, weigh 30 lbs more than I have ever weighed. Started swimming and therapy as I cannot walk or ride a bike at this point, so hard used to be so active😕
Google rebounding
After I go swimming I feel like I had a full body massage and my breathing is so much deeper and more enjoyable🤗
I went Keto very healthy low carb, and include very small amount of i berries, on occasion also cucumbers, got off everything white including breads, etc. Also doing some walking listening to the birds sing.
Surprising how it all took down my inflammation in my body, and my knees aren't hurting anymore either.
Exercise makes you fit, but it's irrelevant to weight loss. Go LCHF; keto or carnivore. At the very least stop eating refined carbohydrates. Breakfast cereals are garbage. If you don't want eggs and meat (bacon, sausages, etc.) in the mornings, you're not hungry and can easily wait until the afternoon to have your first meal of the day.
I started eating 3 meals a day like when I was a child. Start the day with a glass of water with lemon at about 7am. Breakfast at 9, lunch at 2,dinner at 6-7. Nothing else. I have lost about 30 lbs doing this since a year ago. It is now a habit. I don't really get hungry that much anymore. I don't exercise, but I need to, and have no desire for snacks anymore. I try to eat clean healthy food. I did it for my health, but losing weight was a benefit. I still eat pizza and all the things I like, but only in smaller amounts. I don't deny myself any foods that I like.
Great tips! Last September I decided that I needed to get myself healthy and lose some weight. I didn’t do a diet and I don’t eliminate the things I like to eat but instead find healthier ways to cook them. I have lost 30 lbs and I’m feeling and looking so much better. I’m 62. Your tips are spot on! Thank you for sharing.
Hello cathy..
How are you doing today?
I do HIIT cardio and weight training five days a week. I also eat real whole foods and stay away from processed rubbish and sugar. I've never been a snacker and I don't like to eat out. I prefer to cook my own food so I know whats in it and how it is prepared. I am fitter then when I was in my twenties and will be sixty next year :)
I like those ideas Ren but unfortunately not everyone has good knees to do High Intensity Interval training type of exercise - but, there’s plenty of dance-for-fitness videos on UA-cam to do at home.
These tips are great! I'm starting tonight. The small plate tip stands out for me most. So I'm buying my personal plate. Thank you
I think isolation is the worst thing for health.
... but it beats being tortured by a bad relationship! 😂🌱
D.H. Fremont I agree with you. It just makes you more depressed. My sister is on oxygen and it is a hassle for her to do her oxygen tanks up but I can’t get her out of the house more. It doesn’t help we currently live in a small town that doesn’t have a lot of handicap transportation. That’s why we are going to move to a bigger town.
Not if you are an introvert by nature....I don't mind going out in public..but I loath mingling with people in a group for chit chat small talk and social gathering. I'd rather spend time alone doing things that interest me, spend time with my pets, husband and granddaughter....everyone else wants too much of a piece of me and it drains my energy. I don't mind helping people but after a while.....with little to no reciplication...I get drained and need to recharge or my immune system goes down.
@@laurieparis2203 "Better alone than with bad company."
Yes especially the isolation caused by covid and government instruction to stay home. I gained 16 lbs since January when the stress all hit and life was eating, no income to pay bills and watching news. Slow going but must get back to original weight
I am walking 4 to 5 times a week. Usually 3 to 5 miles.
I have experienced health challenges and while waiting for the surgery I sat around a lot in pain. I am a bike rider, gardener, equestrian and so to be unable to do what I love most has been difficult. I have gained weight. Now, I will remember what you have shared so after I heal from my hip replacement I will have some tips that are easy to follow, thank you.
Very good tips Margaret......love you'r videos, make me feel good. You have a great day too! 🌞
Luckily, most of us over 60 know how to cook.
You forgot your wonderful gentle yoga for seniors series, Margaret. I woke up feeling terrible this morning. Now that I’ve done the yoga, I feel taller and stronger with my stomach muscles engaged. It’s a great start to the day.
I’m 62, I really enjoy these videos more than I can say. I recently started Keto low to no carbs. I have lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks.
When you said give up a few things. I thought rice, pasta, breads, potatoes and sugar. That will do it.
But I love all your ideas and I too have incorporated many of them already. Still gotta get moving though.
My goal weight is 150lbs it is still always away. But I’m feeling great right now.
Thank you for the videos. 🙏😘
I call my salad plate my portion plate. You dont even have to think about size of portions.
We should turn it around, maybe have salad on a large “dinner” plate and eat the rest on a small salad plate. 😁
Your advice is spot on! I walk jog and do other exercises for 1 hour each day or do intensive gardening. I’m 64 and I look fairly good.
We are all different. Portion control and exercise are worthless for me. Cutting carbs has kept 50 lbs off me for two years.
Britt H I agree. That’s really all that works for me. I just turned 55 and boy did my tummy grow in a matter of a few months. Low carb did it for me and I feel a lot better.
Britt H,your pretty smile can make the news!
What a lovely sincere lady! Thanks for the tips.
No sugar, no carbs, you will lower your insulin and the weight goes down. It also solves many health problems.
Marlene Campbell How can you avoid sugar? It is everywhere.
Marlene Campbell ..and alcohol
Carrol Last mostly by eating real food not processed food. Avoid low-fat as when fat is removed so is flavor .... up, up, up goes the sugar content. Fat is a nutrient. Your body will use fat for energy when sugar (simple carb form) is removed. If God made it, eat it.
@@carrollast5818 I haven't had any sugar at all for over two years. Stop eating processed foods. Stop eating carbs. Stop eating fruit (it's loaded with sugar.) Stop eating most veggies. Eat fatty meat, not lean. Add butter to your steak. Increase your fat and the weight will fall off, your arthritis will disappear and you will eventually come of insulin if you take it. Eat the ketogenic way and reclaim your health. It's not a fad. I feel fantastic at 62, better than when I was 50. I lost 60 pounds.
@@linaadams138 are you on the carnivore diet? Meat & animal.products only? I heard that teally gets the weight off
Yes, the snacks, no snacks.
Well done. Love the accent and information. Thank you.
I began keto and intermittent fasting a month ago. I’ve tried every kind of diet...every single one. Nothing stuck, and I always fought food cravings. I did so much self reflection about emotional eating, but now I see I was eating because of insulin spikes. Eating keto and IF took my sugar and carb cravings. In the first 3 wks 13 lbs is gone. And I do not feel guilt in what I eat.
...no chocolate for me. Crime fraiche and local sweet strawberries occasionally is my treat!
I KNOW what to do...it's the DOING consistently that gets me!!! Small portions is the key! I love the pretty small plate idea! Another is to use a custard cup instead of a bowl! A cc of oatmeal vs a bowl...Also, walk every day, and do just 15 mins at night of toning. I lost 20lbs in 6 wks doing all these...but it's the ongoing that I struggle with. I will be 60 in December! My profile picture in the red hat is me at 50 - taken by my daughter at a " high tea" 😊
First time viewer. Youre a wonderful, beautiful and inspiring lady. Thankyou so much! 👒
Watching this as I'm healing from total knee replacement. Good suggestions!
5 yrs ago I started keto. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months. 85 now overall. I had tried every diet throughout my adulthood. Nothing worked. I exercised, lifted weights, ran, HIIT, CrossFit. Still did not help. This has been the first time I have not only lost weight, but have kept it off. Not to mention the energy I have is better then when I was in my 40’s. Exercise wise, at 64, I now do yoga 5 days a week, along with power walking.
It has been almost a year since I have seen you and your face looks so much more youthful! Whatever you are doing keep it up,
I really appreciate your helpful advise on how can we age better. Just as I have been doing Keto for 4 months, lost 40 pounds already and following most of the wise tips you mentioned in this video. I am thrilled about how great I feel at 64, full of energy and feeling younger than 20 years ago. Thanks again for making this video!
Ruth Lopez,you looking good just the way you are!
Lioyd Williams thanks a lot!
@@ruthlopez288 which country are you from?
Lioyd Williams I am from Guatemala and I live in one of the most beautiful areas of our green forest, by a lake and an amazing river
@@ruthlopez288 wow!,are you on hangouts or gmai so we can always talk?
I’m 66. I’ve lost 40 lbs in the last three years and have vowed to stop yo-yo dieting for the rest of my life. It’s so hard in the body both internally and externally.
I’m still working so walk to and from work every day. In addition I Spin on Saturdays, do the occasional HIIT workout and yoga and Pilates workouts at home. When I retire I hope to keep doing what I’m doing now (but walking elsewhere besides work 😋).
Evenings are my downfall watching TV and snacking. It’s still an issue I struggle with. It’s a habit that needs to be replaced with something else. Stopped using dinner plates years’ ago!
As always great topic Margaret!
I am so glad I found your channel. You are such a lovely lady!! Rey of sunshine. I’m 58 and live in Northern Virginia and have been working from home, thanks for the inspiration!! Love the walking!!
I have just come from watching another video of your’s and your hair is different and WOW love this style.
I have always had problems with my weight, part of it being my addiction to certain kinds of foods. In the last year and 1/2 I have lived by several rules that has resulted in my weight, at aged 62, less than what I weighed in High School. Sugar is a real problem for me; once I eat it, I have a loss of control. So, I don't eat processed sugar or processed flours. I just eat whole foods, ALL whole foods. I eat three meals a day, no snacking in between, ever. I have 400 days of eating this way. There are other days I might have slipped a little but primarily get right back into the above stated rules for myself. I eat 20 oz. of vegetables every day. I eat 12 oz. of whole fruit every day plus protein selections and fats.
I am 64 and have lost 55 pounds in 3 month's on a low carb eating plan and I have one day a month as my eating pleasure I eat out with my children once a month I'm doing good so far, I can't walk good yet I need knee surgery badly but as soon as I can walk I will definitely
Terrie Marie Hoy-Recio how r u doing
Hi Sixty and Me, Thanks for making this video about being healthy for women 60+. I have one more year before I get to 60. I am noticing small deposits of fat around my hips, back, and lower abs that didn't used to be there. I am trying to reduce my food intake, exercise, and love my body at this age. Thanks again for this video!!
Hello Kokeita 👏
How are you doing today
Great encouragement for getting me moving! I love this woman -- particularly her winks!
I never watched TV, like you, I watched online those few things I really wanted to see. Then the rules changed in the UK which forced me into buying a TV License (you have to have one to watch BBC in any format and to watch programmes from any provider at the time of broadcasting). Since then, my TV viewing has increased tremendously. I have arthritis and find too much sitting around makes movement more difficult. I’m beginning to think I would be a lot healthier if I got rid of the TV again. I also think I would be mentally fitter if I made more effort on my appearance. You always look so elegant.
Small plates. Let me share my story. About five years ago, I began eating less. I just felt full after 1/2 my meal. I learned to put less on my plate, but continued to eat the same foods I enjoy. As a result, I've lost 30#. My husband took up the same habit to keep his weight in check after loosing 50# through diet and a LOT of walking. Due to health, he cannot walk the 4 miles a day that he used to, but his weight has stayed off. We are both in our 70's. So, you see, small portions on small plates can make a big change.
Riding a bike is great too.
Thanks very much. Myself I have lost waight drinking warm water with lemon juice and Apple sider, cup of tea ones a day my dinner is around 3/ 4pm snack is 1 panana or watermelon. I have lost 2 stone in 6 month I do feel good as I can't exercise with my Ithritis.
Gee, that necklace looks really lovely. I'm doing this; "I do what I want." If I want puff pastry, I learned how and make salmon filled puff pastry as well as raspberry and cherry vanilla, chocolate caramel or a combination thereof. One of my best rules is never travel alone. Bring a friend. Oh, and always be lovely, feel lovely, and exude that feeling everywhere you go.
I really liked the idea of wearing a fitted blazer
I cut back 1/2 of what I use to eat. You’re right the smaller plate does help you to remember not to serve yourself to much food. I try to walk on my treadmill 36 minutes in the morning, and after dinner. I walk off 200 calories twice a day. And I cut way back on my desserts. I’ve found out once you’ve gained the weight, it’s so hard to get rid of. Thank you so much, great video.
Paige So true, so true!
Paige,you looking gorgeous just the way you are!
Helpful tips from someone who's been watching their weight for 60 years!
*Avoid Processed Foods* Keep to the outer isles in your supermarket...vegetables, meats, dairy, etc. all the non processed food rim the walls of your supermarket.
*Don't have tempting food in your home...if you don't have it _you can't eat it!* Switch your snacking to fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetables...it's easier than you think.
*Keep in mind that the less sugar you eat the less you will crave it...if you can wipe it completely or almost completely from your diet _you will No Longer Crave it!* Fact!
*Craving sugar? Have a cup of diet or sugar free hot chocolate!* You'd be surprised...it's filling and takes away that itch for something sweet!
*Don't eat fast food!* It doesn't matter what age you are! It's bad and it's addicting!
*If you are able...try to walk 20 minutes a day!* If you need to build up to that, don't sweat it...the more you walk the more you'll be able to walk! Find a partner to walk with...it's fun and the time flies. Don't want to walk with someone...pull out your earbuds and play some music...music always makes walking more fun!
Bless you today is a new beginning! Funnily enough I have been parking at the far end of the car park (mainly because I’m worried about careless people bashing up my car doors)!! Great tips all common sense - my mum lost weight but using a smaller plate!! Mums are always right. God bless ❤️
Thx so much ~ I have incorporated quite a few of your suggestions 😍💯
I have a stationary bike and I ride while watching tv or playing video games time flies and I can ride longer. Thanks for the good advice. 🤗
Just cut out carbs, bread, cakes, noodles during the week & give yourself a break on weekends. I lost 40 pounds two years ago & kept it off. Must weigh yourself everyday!!!!!
Three Cats ~ great ideas💡🤔
Yep. I lost 20 cutting out the carbs.
Yes, I cut out sugar, sweet drinks and white flour. The weight has poured off. 38 pounds the last 5 months. Nothing else. Just no sugar or flour
This sounds like a great idea! What do you eat during the week?
What do you eat on weekends?
TJo Johnson
I eat eggs, bacon coffee, for my breakfast or 2-pieces if 35 calorie bread with egg salad, lunch egg salad sandwich, salad anytime, any salad dressing, cucumbers, chicken strips, sunflower seeds on anything, nuts anytime. Salmon patty from Cosco with salmon spread from woodmans salad, vegetables.
Weekends anything donut for breakfast sandwich with lettuce, cheese, ham or chicken with mayonnaise, Cocktails, wine anything I want to eat! Dessert. I have no carbs during week & weekends anything!!!!
You look beautiful as always! Great advice!
That was so funny and so true : throw away your keys 🤪
A few months ago I started intermittent fasting and was able to get rid of about 12 lbs. I am staying with this because it helps me stay consistent in what, how much and when I eat. Thank you for your helpful reminders.
You surprised me! I thought you were going to tell about what foods not to eat! What a pleasant surprise. I will add something that I find particularly important. When you sit down and eat a meal DO NOT have any distractions, such as T.V., music, your cell phone, music, etc. Studies have shown when you are not paying attention to what you are eating, you will likely eat more. Also, you will enjoy your food more. Practice eating SLOWLY..it takes your brain 20 minutes to register that it's full. If you are racing through your meal before the 20 minutes are up then you will be wanting to eat more food. This has helped me a lot.
I love your tips on losing weight, Margaret.They are just simple and yes, they are doable with the effort of course from our side. Thanks!
I so look forward to seeing you! Just like one of the other ladies commented you are kind and sweet and very inspirational and I thank you for that💕
I love what you said towards the end of the video reinvent yourself by changing your environment
No, not my baggy pants!🤣🤣🤣
Hello Margaret, I've only recently found you but am loving your posts. You have a lovely voice and gentle manner, wise words and very encouraging....thank you for sharing with us.
Like all of us at 60+ fighting weight gain is a challenge.... I have found intermittent fasting works for me, if I stick to eating within the 8hr window I can more or less eat what I like. And you can't eat what's not in the cupboard, so leave the crisps, biscuits and cakes off your shopping list.....you are right it encourages healthier snacking.
Love to you lovely lady from New Zealand 😙
Always make a shopping list when you go to the supermarket and don't be tempted. Porridge oats with a little dried fruit for breakfast, will help you through the day.
That's an extremely high carb breakfast! Eggs are a great breakfast. I do a veggie scramble most of the time. Oatmeal always left me starving an hour and a half later. I complained about that as a kid .Sitting in school, lunch couldn't come fast enough!
Ian ward. Porridge is a great start for morning or anytime 😊 .
@@janeyd5280 I have porridge with nuts and seeds. Lasts until lunch time.
If you add ground chia to your porridge, you will stay full until lunch time✨
