Our blog at weightlossover55.wordpress.com was started to address the unique needs and challenges for those of us over 55 when it comes to fitness and diet (not necessarily ‘dieting’).

Drop by our site often to read a little, offer a comment or two and tell us what y

lee w Do it

It takes a lot of motivation to get started in an exercise plan. Once I had some health insurance quotes that suggested a fitness regimen would lower the rates of coverage. It was a big motivator to save money if I checked into a gym program. Saving money turned out not to be the biggest benefit. The biggest benefit is how much better I felt a few months into the program. It does take some dedication to begin bu… Continue

Barbara New Kid On The Block

What a great little site! I look forward to reading more here.

I am fairly new to blogging and started my own to follow my journey back to good health.

I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis ten years ago. Eating vegan many years ago, the disease went into remission. I fell off the wagon and went back to SAD food, only to have the IC return.

Looking forward to good health once again!

Ayala laufer-Cahana MD Three healthy habits to fight childhood obesity

One in three American kids is overweight or obese. Many of our kids start accumulating extra weight—or develop the habits that will lead to weight gain later on—in very early childhood, setting them up for a lifelong struggle with both weight and a multitude of chronic diseases.

But many parents don’t pay much attention to obesity prevention advice; they don’t believe it’s relevant to their kids. They’re more focused on making sure their kids develop well, and th

Do you want to live to 100? For most of us, a long and well-lived life sounds rather tempting. So what can we do to get as much out of life as we can, for as long as we can?

Kristi Rimkus Creamy Stuffed Potatoes with Tender Broccoli and Meaty Mushrooms

Years ago, when my husband and I were young and dating, we frequented a restaurant that made a terrific stuffed potato. Of course, the restaurant's potatoes were stuffed with tender meat and creamy cheddar cheese - still, they were worth the calories.

These days, we are a few years older, and a bit wiser, so we try to keep the calories and fat in check. This recipe for stuffed potatoes is considerably leaner, but adding meaty mushrooms and salty Parmesan cheese really takes them up a no… Continue
