I don’t want to live to any particular age, but I would like to be as healthy as possible for as long as I can. I can’t control all of that, but I CAN control –
- What I weigh
- What I eat
- How much exercise I get
As you know, I’ve been trying to lose the lard and move more. I’m about halfway to my goal now.
I started with a BMI of 34, which is labeled on the chart as “Obese.” Right now I have a BMI of 29, labeled as “Overweight.” I’m celebrating JUST being ‘overweight’ now. My goal is a BMI of 24, which is labeled “healthy weight.”
I’m eating a low-carb diet, trying to drink more water, and using MyFitnessPal daily to pay close attention to what I’m eating and drinking.
My moving more efforts include working in the yard, practicing ‘old lady’ yoga stretches, and various YouTube workout videos. I’m doing one now from Good Morning Fitness with stomach exercises done standing that don’t involve jumping. I also like a whole series with Mike from Australia. He has a website called More Life Health Seniors. I’m also trying to make myself at least walk around the house and out to the shop once a day.
I’ve started taking SuperFoodMD Fruits & Veggies supplements, a competitor to the much-advertised brand you see on TV. That one is too expensive for me, but this one costs less than half as much. (I put the two products side by side and they look like the same thing.) I eat basically the same thing for lunch every day, and we eat a somewhat limited number of low-carb dishes for dinners, mainly because my husband will only eat a handful of veggies. I hope that these supplements will help me make sure I’m getting what I need for good health.
Onward and Downward!

Wow Linda that’s awesome! I’ve done great! Thanks four including the chart, too. For my height, I’m within 10 lbs of being in the overweight category. So I know I need to be more mindful of what I’m eating and increase my exercise (which at the moment is little to nothing 😬). I’m going to check out the links you included too. 😀🐱🐼

I figure it’s all a work in progress. I hope the links I provided help you find things that are helpful to you. I feel like I’m finally making measurable progress toward my goal. WHEN I reach that (:0)) I’ll re-evaluate – assess how I FEEL, how I move, how my clothes fit, etc. I’m hoping that I will feel better and better as the weight goes, my blood work numbers get better and better, and more. Good luck to you, too! You’ll get there.
