Eat less Move more

Up until three pounds ago I lost weight simply by eating less. I won't say it was easy, but there are lots of perks to that. I feel better. My clothes fit better. I am healthier.

Now I can no longer just eat less and expect to lose weight. I plateaued and seemed doomed to stay at a weight that is still far above my BMI and while I may never reach that weight again at my age, I would feel better if I at least tried.

I have worked up to walking a mile twice a day and doing this allows me to lose weight once more.

The scary part is that eventually this too will not work and then, I guess, I will be at my optimum weight for me at this age.
