It may be harder to lose weight now, but we also have learned from our years of living, and have greater motivation because of our awareness of aging and weight issues. Hopefully, we know ourselves better than we did in our first few decades, and thus perhaps can more easily figure out ways to meet our goals. Positive thinking is one way that helps!

A major hurdle in dieting is dealing with hunger pains. I suggest PSYLLIUM, it is a natural fiber material, zero calories that expands with water. Take a heaping tablespoon in a glass of water. It stops my hunger pains and on the rare occassion they come back I take a second glass. Myles

Hi - I am new to this group but have been using spark for over a month now. Learning how to plan my food better and track accurately! Exercise is not my main challenge as I have always loved to be active with cycling, walking, weights etc. BUT - food is a 'biggie' - I know I am an emotional eater. When I am bored, frustrated, sad I tend to snack constantly and look for comfort food. I realize that dropping those pounds gets harder over 60 and that they need to come off for health as well as looks. Looking forward to sharing motivation and ideas. PS how do you do that little tracking thing at the bottom of your messages?
